Abstract
Blast furnace dust (BFD) is the solid powder and particulate matter produced by dust removal process in ironmaking industry. The element composition of BFD is complex, and a direct return to sintering will lead to heavy metal enrichment and blast furnace lining corrosion. In recent years, the application of BFD in wastewater treatment has attracted widespread attention. Based on the mechanisms of action of BFD in wastewater, this paper discusses in detail the application of BFD in iron-carbon micro-electrolysis, biological enhancement, adsorption, flocculation, and Fenton/Fenton-like reactions. Iron oxides and carbon in BFD are key substances. Thus, BFD has great potential as a raw material in wastewater treatment, and the waste utilization of BFD can be realized. However, the difference in elements and composition of BFD limits its large-scale application. We can classify BFD according to different proportions of elements. In the future, it is necessary to focus on the service life of BFD in water and whether it shall bring secondary pollution to water.

Abstract
Landfill leachate poses a threat to the environment and human health, and its complex composition made it difficult to treat. Among the methods for treating landfill leachate, the physicochemical combination method is considered to have significant effectiveness, low cost, and application potential. In this study, we propose a new method of coagulation and hydrodynamic cavitation/chlorine dioxide (HC/ClO2) for treating landfill leachate. The optimal conditions for coagulation and HC/ClO2 treatment were investigated experimentally. Under the optimal conditions for coagulation, the COD removal rate was 60.14%. Under the optimal HC/ClO2 treatment conditions, the COD removal rate was 58.82%. In the combined coagulation and HC/ClO2 process, the COD removal rate was 83.58%. Thus, the proposed method can significantly reduce the organic load before subsequent biological treatment processes, thereby reducing the operation cycles and cost of biological treatment.

Abstract
The development and application of Fenton and ozonation systems in landfill leachate treatment over the last 20 years, and the current research status are reviewed in this paper, with an emphasis on the technical and economic characteristics of Fenton and ozonation systems used to treat different types of landfill leachate. To date, a total of 101 and 78 articles have been published regarding leachate treatment by Fenton and ozonation systems, respectively. These articles considered the use of two systems to treat aged leachate, biologically treated leachate and leachate comprising the concentrated solution resulting from reverse osmosis (RO). The oxidization mechanisms of the two systems used to treat landfill leachate significantly differed in terms of their optimal process parameters (e.g., initial pH value, reagent dosage, and reaction time) and removal efficiency. The Fenton and ozonation systems outperformed persulfate-based advanced oxidation technology in terms of their improved biodegradability of landfill leachate and engineering practicability. The cost of the reagents required to treat landfill leachate by Fenton and ozonation systems accounted for at least 85% of the total operating cost. In contrast to the ozonation system, the Fenton system was more cost-effective when both systems were used to treat the same type of landfill leachate. This study provides a theoretical basis for the operation of Fenton and ozonation systems and also offers technical support for landfill leachate disposal companies that opt to use these technologies.

Abstract
Air stripping is commonly used to remove the ammonia in multistage treatment systems for municipal landfill leachate (LFL). This paper proposes a novel approach combining the process of stripping with biological removal of ammonia, based on simultaneous nitrification and denitrification (SND) in a single hybrid sequencing batch reactor (HSBR). To avoid the accumulation of free ammonia (N-FAN), the shallow aeration system was used for the treatment of raw LFL with N-TAN level of 1520 mg/L and pH 9.24. The mean N-FAN removal efficiency of 69% with the reaction rate of 55 mg L−1 h−1 and mean ammonium (N-NH4+) removal efficiency of 84% with the reaction rate of 44 mg L−1 h−1 were achieved within a month in such an HSBR (R1). The comparative HSBR (R2), with conventional aeration system maintaining the same concentration of dissolved oxygen (DO ≤ 1 mg/L), was removing only trace amounts of N-FAN and 48% of N-NH4+. The quantitative analysis of 16S rRNA genes indicated that the number of total bacteria, Actinobacteria, Bacteroidetes, Firmicutes, and Beta- and Gammaproteobacteria increased during the operation of both HSBRs, but was always higher in R1. Moreover, the bacterial community shift was observed since the beginning of the experiment; the relative abundance of Firmicutes, and Beta- and Gammaproteobacteria increased by 5.01, 3.25 and 9.67% respectively, whilst the abundance of Bacteroidetes and Actinobacteria decreased by 15.59 and 0.95%. All of the surveyed bacteria groups, except Gammaproteobacteria, correlated significantly negatively (p < 0.001) with the concentrations of N-NH4+ in the outflows from R1. The results allow us to suppose that simultaneous stripping and SND in a single reactor could be a promising, cost-effective and easy-to-operate solution for LFL treatment.

Abstract
This study investigated the bacterial communities, metabolic functions, antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) and metal resistance genes (MRGs) in two alternating anaerobic/aerobic biological filters (A/O-BFs) treating saline seafood wastewater (SSW). Firmicutes was the most abundant phylum in both systems, and halophilic and alkaliphilic bacteria were largely enriched. 15 potential pathogens were obtained. Metabolism was the predominant bacterial function. 49 ARGs and 7 MRGs were detected, and the total abundance of ARGs increased while that of MRGs decreased. Clear shifts in bacterial structure and function, ARGs and MRGs were observed in both systems and at different heights. Co-occurrence of ARGs and MRGs and their hosts were identified. ARGs and MRGs mainly negatively correlated with bacterial functions, which were also the important contributors to shifts in bacterial communities and functions. This study highlights the importance of investigating ARGs and MRGs in SSW treatment systems and their complex interactions with bacterial communities and functions.

Abstract
The biological aerated filter (BAF) is an effective biological treatment technology which removes the pollutants in municipal wastewater secondary treatment. However, we still know little about the interaction between the pollutants removal and microbes within the BAF. In this study, we used an up-flow BAF (UBAF) reactor to investigate the relationships between the pollutants removal and microbial community structure at different aeration rates and filter media heights. The microbial community of biofilm was analyzed by Illumina pyrosequencing. Our results showed that the UBAF achieved a better removal efficiency of chemical oxygen demand (COD), NH4+-N, NO3−-N, and total phosphorus (TP) at an aeration rate of 65 L/h. In addition, the COD and NH4+-N removal mainly occurred at 0–25 cm height of filter media. The microbial community structure in the UBAF demonstrated that the relative abundance of the Planctomycetes and Comamonadaceae at 10 cm height of filter media were 11% and 48.1%, respectively, proportions significantly higher than those under others treatments. Finally, the changes in relative abundance of Proteobacteria, Planctomycetes, and Nitrospirae likely explained the mechanism of nitrogen and phosphorus removal. Our results showed that suitable conditions could enhance the microbial community structure to achieve a high pollutants removal in the UBAF.

Abstract
The main goal of this study was to investigate the co-digestion of sewage sludge and mature landfill leachate pretreated through hydrodynamic cavitation. The process efficiency was analyzed from the aspects of organics removal, biogas production, kinetics and digestate quality. Energy efficiency of the overall treatment was evaluated as well. A dose of hydrodynamically cavitated leachate of 5% v/v was used as a substrate for co-digestion with sewage sludge at a hydraulic retention time of 20 days. This improved the kinetics, biogas production and corresponding yields, as well as digestate quality. Fourier transform infrared photoacoustic spectroscopy analysis seemed to indicate that no new toxic compounds were formed with co-digestion. The investigated two-stage treatment is recommended as a safe and cost-effective method of utilizing mature leachate.

Abstract
A novel IBAF system (altered conventional biological aerated filter (BAF) for intermittent aeration) was used to treat BDD anodes electrochemical oxidation gasification wastewater effluent, after which 454 pyrosequencing was applied to investigate the bacterial community of IBAF and demonstrate the relationship between dissolved oxygen (DO) and the bacterial community. The results showed that the concentration of COD, NH4+-N and NO3--N reached 55.08, 7.64 and 7.76 mg/L, respectively, in IBAF effluent because of changes in the DO concentration at 30 days after system start-up. The bacterial community results revealed that the 40 cm sample had the highest bacterial diversity. The bacterial species were approximate in total samples at phylum and family level, but the relative abundance was significantly different because of change in DO concentration. In addition, sample distance analysis indicated that the similarity of different samples was related to the DO concentration at different heights.

Abstract
The Fenton process is used as a tertiary treatment to remove organic pollutants from the effluent of bio-treated pharmaceutical wastewater (EBPW). The optimal and most appropriate Fenton conditions were determined by an orthogonal array test and single-factor experiments. The removal of chemical oxygen demand (COD) was influenced by the following factors in a descending order: H2O2/Fe(II) molar ratio > H2O2 dosage > reaction time. Under the most appropriate Fenton conditions (H2O2/Fe(II) molar ratio of 1:1, H2O2 dosage of 120 mg L-1 and reaction time of 10 min), the COD and dissolved organic carbon (DOC) were removed with efficiencies of 62 and 53%, respectively, which met the national discharge standard (GB 21903-2008) for the Lake Tai Basin, China. However, the Fenton treatment was inadequate for removal of N compounds, and the removal of organic nitrogen led to an increment in N-NH3 from 3.28 to 19.71 mg L-1. Proteins and polysaccharides were completely removed, and humic acids (HAs) were partly removed with an efficiency of 55%. Three-dimensional excitation/emission matrix spectra (3DEEMs) indicated complete removal of fulvic acid-like substances and 90% reduction in the florescence intensity of humic acid-like substances. Organic pollutants with molecular weights (MW) > 10 kDa were completely removed, MW 5-10 kDa were degraded into smaller MW ones, and some low molecular weight acids (MW 0.1-1 kDa) were mineralized during the Fenton process. Some species, including pharmaceutical intermediates and solvents were detected by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The operational costs of the Fenton's treatment were estimated to be 0.58 yuan RMB/m3 EBPW based on reagent usage and iron sludge treatment and disposal.

Abstract
Landfill leachate contains high concentrations of organic compounds and ammonium, and the presence of heavy metal ions, which normally requires expensive and complex treatment processes. In this study, full-scale experiments were implemented to evaluate the feasibility of mechanical vapor recompression (MVR) treating leachate. Results revealed that despite the drastic changes of influent pollutant concentrations, MVR system possessed the ability to reduce most of the pollutants and guarantee the effluent in compliance with the discharge limits of Chinese Standard. Fouling analyses revealed that the main components in the fouling were crystalline (Mg0.06Ca0.94)(CO3), combining with humus and silicon compounds. A fouling cleaning method was developed with the adding sequence of first sulphamic acid and then NaOH, which could remove 88.62% fouling. Although fouling was inevitable for MVR treating leachate, coagulation pretreatment removed large amounts of COD, BOD5, total nitrogen, ammonium and total phosphorus, with the respective means of 68.4%, 69.4%, 81.0%, 84.1% and 81.4%, and thereafter reduced the treatment cost 27.4% from 47.06 RMB (6.92 US dollars)/m3 to 34.15 RMB (5.02 US dollars)/m3. These outcomes provided that in addition to the combination method of biological removal process with membrane technology, MVR process was another feasible solution for leachate treatment.

Abstract
The application of multi-stage systems including biological step, for the treatment of leachate from municipal landfills, is economically and technologically justified. When microbial activity is utilized as 2nd stage of treatment, the task of 1st stage is to increase the bioavailability of organic matter. In this work, the effect of advanced oxidation process by Fenton's reagent for treatment efficiency of landfill leachate in the sequencing batch reactor was assessed. The quantitative dynamics of bacteria taking a part in ammonia removal process was evaluated by determination of number of DNA copies of 16S rRNA and amoA. Products of neutral pH chemical oxidation, had a definite positive impact on the quantity of β-proteobacteria 16S rRNA, whereas the same gene specified for Nitrospira sp. as well as amoA did not show a significant increase during the process of biological treatment, regardless of whether the reactor was fed with raw leachate or chemically pre-treated.

Abstract
Experimental coupling of wet air oxidation process and aerobic packed-bed biofilm reactor is presented. It has been tested on phenol as a model refractory compound. At 30 MPa and 250 °C, wet air oxidation batch experiments led to a phenol degradation of 97% and a total organic carbon removal of 84%. This total organic carbon was mainly due to acetic acid. To study the interest of coupling processes, wet air oxidation effluent was treated in a biological treatment process. This step was made up of two packed-bed biofilm reactors in series: the first one acclimated to phenol and the second one to acetic acid. After biological treatment, phenol and total organic carbon removal was 99 and 97% respectively. Thanks to parameters from literature, previous studies (kinetic and thermodynamic) and experimental data from this work (hydrodynamic parameters and biomass characteristics), both treatment steps were modelled. This modelling allows the simulation of the coupling process. Experimental results were finally well reproduced by the continuous coupled process model: relative error on phenol removal efficiency was 1 and 5.5% for wet air oxidation process and packed-bed biofilm reactor respectively.

Abstract
An up-flow partially aerated biological filter (U-PABF) was developed to study the removal of nitrogen and chemical oxygen demand (COD) from synthetic domestic wastewater. The removal of NH4(+)-N was primarily attributed to adsorption in the zeolite U-PABF and to bioprocesses in the ceramic U-PABF. When the hydraulic retention time (HRT) was 5.2h, the ceramic U-PABF achieved a good performance and the NH4(+)-N, total nitrogen (TN), and COD removal efficiency reached 99.08±8.79%, 72.83±0.68%, and 89.38±1.04%, respectively. The analysis of NH4(+)-N, NO3(-)-N, NO2(-)-N, and TN at different depths revealed the simultaneous existence of nitrification-denitrification, and anaerobic ammonium oxidation (anammox) in ceramic U-PABF. Illumina pyrosequencing confirmed the existence of Planctomycetes, which are responsible for anammox. The results indicated that the nitrification-denitrification and anammox all contributed to the high removal of NH4(+)-N, TN, and COD in the U-PABF.

Removal of refractory contaminants in municipal landfill leachate by hydrogen, oxygen and palladium: a novel approach of hydroxyl radical production. JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2015; 287:349-55.

Abstract
Municipal solid waste (MSW) leachate contains various refractory pollutants that pose potential threats to both surface water and groundwater. This paper established a novel catalytic oxidation process for leachate treatment, in which OH is generated in situ by pumping both H2 and O2 in the presence of Pd catalyst and Fe(2+). Volatile fatty acids in the leachate were removed almost completely by aeration and/or mechanical mixing. In this approach, a maximum COD removal of 56.7% can be achieved after 4h when 200mg/L Fe(2+) and 1250mg/L Pd/Al2O3 (pH 3.0) are used as catalysts. After oxidation, the BOD/COD ratio in the proposed process increased from 0.03 to 0.25, indicating that the biodegradability of the leachate was improved. By comparing the efficiency on COD removal and economical aspect of the proposed Pd-based in-situ process with traditional Fenton, electro-Fenton and UV-Fenton for leachate treatments, the proposed Pd-based in-situ process has potential economic advantages over other advanced oxidation processes while the COD removal efficiency was maintained.

Abstract
Fresh leachate, generated in municipal solid waste incineration (MSWI) plants, contains various pollutants with extremely high strength organics, which usually requires expensive and complex treatment processes. This study investigated the feasibility of blending treatment of MSWI leachate with municipal wastewater. Fresh MSWI leachate was pretreated by coagulation-flocculation with FeCl3 2 g/L and CaO 25 g/L, plate-and-frame filter press, followed by ammonia stripping at pH above 12. After that, blending treatment was carried out in a full-scale municipal wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) for approximately 3 months. Different operational modes consisting of different pretreated leachate and methanol addition levels were tested, and their performances were evaluated. Results showed that throughout the experimental period, monitored parameters in the WWTP effluent, including COD (<60 mg/L), BOD5 (<20 mg/L), ammonium (<8 mg/L), phosphorus (<1.5 mg/L) and heavy metals, generally complied with the Chinese sewage discharged standard. Under the experimental conditions, a certain amount of methanol was needed to fulfill TN removal. An estimation of the operation cost revealed that the expenditure of blending treatment was much lower than the total costs of respective treatment of MSWI leachate and municipal wastewater. The outcomes indicated that blending treatment could not only improve the treatability of the MSWI leachate, but also reduce the treatment cost of the two different wastewaters.

JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2014; 267:142-152.

Abstract
When direct wastewater biological treatment is unfeasible, a cost- and resource-efficient alternative to direct chemical treatment consists of combining biological treatment with a chemical pre-treatment aiming to convert the hazardous pollutants into more biodegradable compounds. Whereas the principles and advantages of sequential treatment have been demonstrated for a broad range of pollutants and process configurations, recent progresses (2011-present) in the field provide the basis for refining assessment of feasibility, costs, and environmental impacts. This paper thus reviews recent real wastewater demonstrations at pilot and full scale as well as new process configurations. It also discusses new insights on the potential impacts of microbial community dynamics on process feasibility, design and operation. Finally, it sheds light on a critical issue that has not yet been properly addressed in the field: integration requires complex and tailored optimization and, of paramount importance to full-scale application, is sensitive to uncertainty and variability in the inputs used for process design and operation. Future research is therefore critically needed to improve process control and better assess the real potential of sequential chemical-biological processes for industrial wastewater treatment.
