BIORESOURCE TECHNOLOGY 2024; 391:129981. [PMID: 37926358 DOI: 10.1016/j.biortech.2023.129981] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/29/2023] [Revised: 11/02/2023] [Accepted: 11/02/2023] [Indexed: 11/07/2023]
Abstract
Co-composting of chicken manure, straw and zeolite was investigated in a water bath heating system to estimate the effect of zeolite on physicochemical properties and metabolic functions related to nitrogen conversion. The results indicated that NH3 catches by zeolite was concentrated in the early stage and zeolite with 10 % addition reduced 28 % NH3 and 55 % N2O emissions as compost ended. The nitrate content in 10 % zeolite group was 17 % higher than that in control group. There was no significant increase of NO2- in zeolite group. More NO2- formed NH3, rather than being converted to NOx through denitrification. The abundance of nitrification genes amoA and hao increased except nxrA in zeolite groups. Denitrification was the most obvious at 20 d and zeolite decreased the abundance of denitrification genes narG, nirK and nosZ at this time.

Land-Use Change and Management Intensification Is Associated with Shifts in Composition of Soil Microbial Communities and Their Functional Diversity in Coffee Agroecosystems. Microorganisms 2022; 10:microorganisms10091763. [PMID: 36144367 PMCID: PMC9504970 DOI: 10.3390/microorganisms10091763] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/28/2022] [Revised: 08/12/2022] [Accepted: 08/22/2022] [Indexed: 11/17/2022] Open
Abstract
Despite the central role of microorganisms in soil fertility, little understanding exists regarding the impact of management practices and soil microbial diversity on soil processes. Strong correlations among soil microbial composition, management practices, and microbially mediated processes have been previously shown. However, limited integration of the different parameters has hindered our understanding of agroecosystem functioning. Multivariate analyses of these systems allow simultaneous evaluation of the parameters and can lead to hypotheses on the microbial groups involved in specific nutrient transformations. In the present study, using a multivariate approach, we investigated the effect of microbial composition (16SrDNA sequencing) and soil properties in carbon mineralization (CMIN) (BIOLOG™, Hayward, CA, USA) across different management categories on coffee agroecosystems in Mexico. Results showed that (i) changes in soil physicochemical variables were related to management, not to region, (ii) microbial composition was associated with changes in management intensity, (iii) specific bacterial groups were associated with different management categories, and (iv) there was a broader utilization range of carbon sources in non-managed plots. The identification of specific bacterial groups, management practices, and soil parameters, and their correlation with the utilization range of carbon sources, presents the possibility to experimentally test hypotheses on the interplay of all these components and further our understanding of agroecosystem functioning and sustainable management.

[PMID: 35576711 DOI: 10.1016/j.jenvman.2022.115265] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/12/2022] [Revised: 05/05/2022] [Accepted: 05/07/2022] [Indexed: 06/15/2023]
Abstract
Researchers have long been committed to identify nitrate sources in groundwater and to develop an advanced technique for its remediation because better apply remediation solution and management of water quality is highly dependent on the identification of the NO3- sources contamination in water. In this review, we systematically introduce nitrate source tracking tools used over the past ten years including dual isotope and multi isotope techniques, water chemistry profile, Bayesian mixing model, microbial tracers and land use/cover data. These techniques can be combined and exploited to track the source of NO3- as mineral or organic fertilizer, sewage, or atmospheric deposition. These available data have significant implications for making an appropriate measures and decisions by water managers. A continuous remediation strategy of groundwater was among the main management strategies that need to be applied in the contaminated area. Nitrate removal from groundwater can be accomplished using either separation or reduction based process. The application of these processes to nitrate removal is discussed in this review and some novel methods were presented for the first time. Moreover, the advantages and limitations of each approach are critically summarized and based on our own understanding of the subject some solutions to overcomes their drawbacks are recommended. Advanced techniques are capable to attain significantly higher nitrate and other co-contaminants removal from groundwater. However, the challenges of by-products generation and high energy consumption need to be addressed in implementing these technologies for groundwater remediation for potable use.

Abstract
(1) Setting a matrix dam in the paddy field drainage ditch has been recognized as an effective method to lower the velocity of water discharged from a paddy field in the drainage ditch, which can improve the purification efficiency of the drainage ditch for nitrogen and phosphorus pollutants, but the specific placement and thickness of the matrix dam have not been supported due to the insufficient research results. (2) Three thicknesses of the matrix dam were set in three locations of the physical model of the drainage ditch. By measuring the flow rate and water level in different sections, the optimal layout location and thickness of the matrix dam were determined. (3) When the matrix dam was located in section 1-1, the flow rate from sections A-A to C1-C1 was reduced by 0.159 m/s; when the matrix dam was located in section 2-2, the flow rate was reduced by 0.331 m/s; when the matrix dam was located in section 3-3, the flow rate was reduced by 0.360 m/s. (4) We concluded that the optimal design position of the matrix dam was section 3-3, 9.2 m from the entrance of the water flume, and the optimal design thickness was 0.3 m.

Nitrogen and Phosphorus Removal Efficiency and Denitrification Kinetics of Different Substrates in Constructed Wetland. WATER 2022.

Abstract
Constructed wetlands (CWs) are generally used for wastewater treatment and removing nitrogen and phosphorus. However, the treatment efficiency of CWs is limited due to the poor performance of various substrates. To find appropriate substrates of CWs for micro-polluted water treatment, zeolite, quartz sand, bio-ceramsite, porous filter, and palygorskite self-assembled composite material (PSM) were used as filtering media to treat slightly polluted water with the aid of autotrophic denitrifying bacteria. PSM exhibited the most remarkable nitrogen and phosphorus removal performance among these substrates. The average removal efficiencies of ammonia nitrogen, total nitrogen, and total phosphorus of PSM were 66.4%, 58.1%, and 85%, respectively. First-order continuous stirred-tank reactor (first-order-CSTR) and Monod continuous stirred-tank reactor (Monod-CSTR) models were established to investigate the kinetic behavior of denitrification nitrogen removal processes using different substrates. Monod-CSTR model was proven to be an accurate model that could simulate nitrate nitrogen removal performance in vertical flow constructed wetland (VFCWs). Moreover, PSM demonstrated significant pollutant removal capacity with the kinetics coefficient of 2.0021 g/m2 d. Hence, PSM can be considered as a promising new type of substrate for micro-polluted wastewater treatment, and Monod-CSTR model can be employed to simulate denitrification processes.

Abstract
Water shortage and excessive use of water resources in arid and semi-arid regions, such as Iran, highlights the importance of using treated wastewater, especially for the highly demanding agricultural sector. Constructed wetlands (CWs) are among green technologies that offer an efficient and cost-effective wastewater treatment. This study investigates the complementary treatment of effluent from the Fooladshahr wastewater treatment plant, Isfahan, Iran, using pilot-scale CWs with horizontal (H-CW) and horizontal-vertical flow (HV-CW). The performance of two substrates, pumice and gravel, and the effect of using plants (Phragmites australis) was compared. Maximum removal efficiencies of total suspended solids (TSS) and biochemical oxygen demand (BOD5) were observed in the case of unplanted and planted HV-CW with pumice bed, respectively. In the case of gravel bed, planted H-CWs demonstrated maximum chemical oxygen demand (COD) removal efficiency. The highest mean outflow concentrations for TSS, BOD5 and COD were obtained in unplanted H-CW with pumice bed, likely due to shorter retention times compared to HV-CWs, as well as due to the absence of plants providing the required physicochemical and biological conditions for high performance treatment. Phosphate (PO43-) removal efficiency demonstrated seasonal dependency, where the highest values were obtained in warm seasons. In the case of fecal coliforms (FC), no significant differences were observed between the studied HV-CWs during the whole study period. Based on our results, planted H-CW with gravel bed provided an optimum removal efficiency while requiring a smaller footprint and lower expenditure than HV-CWs. This study demonstrates the application of CWs as an affordable solution for treating domestic wastewater for various reuse application in developing countries with water crisis, such as Iran.
