High-efficient nitrogen and phosphorus removal and its mechanism in a partially unsaturated constructed wetland with Fe-C micro-electrolysis substrate

Xiangzheng Li et al.

Summary: In this study, partially unsaturated constructed wetlands (CWs) filled with biochar (C) and/or iron shavings (Fe) were proposed to improve the efficiency of ammonia oxidation and denitrification. The results showed that the addition of Fe-C combination significantly enhanced the removal of total nitrogen and total phosphorus compared to traditional CWs, while reducing the toxicity to plants.

Enhanced aerobic granulation for treating low-strength wastewater in an anaerobic-aerobic-anoxic sequencing batch reactor by selecting slow-growing organisms and adding carriers

Dongbo Liang et al.

Summary: The study found that adding carriers in AN/O/AX_SBR can shorten the maturation period of AGS and improve its physical strength. The technology can simultaneously achieve nitrification, endogenous denitrification, and phosphorus removal, with removal efficiencies of total nitrogen and total phosphorus above 70% and 80%, respectively.

Aerobic and anaerobic iron oxidizers together drive denitrification and carbon cycling at marine iron-rich hydrothermal vents

Sean M. McAllister et al.

Summary: The study investigates iron microbial mats from hydrothermal vents at LoModified Letter Turned Commaihi Seamount, HawaiModified Letter Turned Commai, using genome-resolved metagenomics and metatranscriptomics to reconstruct potential microbial roles and interactions. It reveals that aerobic iron-oxidizing Zetaproteobacteria are the primary producers, supporting anaerobic nitrate-reducing iron oxidizers like Candidatus Ferristratum sp., which lacks a full denitrification pathway and relies on Zetaproteobacteria for removal of intermediates. Thus, key community members work together to connect iron oxidation with carbon and nitrogen cycling at LoModified Letter Turned Commaihi.

Role of porous polymer carriers and iron-carbon bioreactor combined micro-electrolysis and biological denitrification in efficient removal of nitrate from wastewater under low carbon to nitrogen ratio

Jian Liu et al.

Summary: A novel bioreactor composed of porous polymer carriers and iron-carbon was established to effectively remove nitrate under short hydraulic retention times and low carbon-to-nitrogen ratios. High-throughput sequencing revealed that Zoogloea sp. L2 was the dominant strain responsible for nitrate removal in the bioreactor.

Enhanced simultaneous removal of nitrate and phosphate using novel solid carbon source/zero-valent iron composite

Haimeng Sun et al.

Summary: A novel iron based solid carbon source composite was prepared by solid carbon sources and zero-valent iron for advanced simultaneous removal of nitrate and phosphate. The composite with 30% zero-valent iron weight ratio showed the best simultaneous removal performance, with the fastest phosphate concentration decline observed at initial pH = 5.5.

Performance and microbial community analysis of bioaugmented activated sludge for nitrogen-containing organic pollutants removal

Xuwang Zhang et al.

Summary: This study demonstrates that bioaugmentation can effectively enhance the removal of nitrogen-containing organic pollutants from coking wastewater. Both the bioaugmented and non-bioaugmented systems maintained high removal efficiencies for pollutants during long-term operation. High-throughput sequencing analysis revealed distinct microbial community structures between the bioaugmented and non-bioaugmented groups.

Influencing factors for the Fenton-like of biological sponge iron system and its degradation mechanism of aniline

Hui-na Xie et al.

Summary: The application of zero-valent iron (ZVI) coupled with microorganisms has shown promising results in eliminating recalcitrant organic matters from wastewater. The biological sponge iron system (SFe-M) was found to be significantly more effective than the general activated sludge system in treating aniline (AN) wastewater. The system induced Fenton-like reactions, leading to the production of hydroxyl radicals (center dot OH) that attacked the benzene ring and the amino group in AN.

Hacking biofilm developed in a structured-bed reactor (SBRRIA) with integrated processes of nitrogen and organic matter removal

Carla Eloisa Diniz dos Santos et al.

Summary: The microbial community in a structured-bed reactor was able to adapt to different organic and nitrogen loads and shift according to changes in the C/N ratio, with no impact on reactor performance in terms of COD and Total-N removal. Under different C/N ratios, different bacterial families prevailed, including those capable of using organic matter, ammonia oxidizers, aerobic denitrifiers, and Anammox bacteria. The stratification of aerobic, anoxic, and anaerobic zones enabled the establishment of various nitrogen degradation pathways within the reactor.

Jie Li et al.

Summary: By studying the performance of different denitrification systems, it was found that the coupled system with both polyurethane foam and sponge iron significantly increased total nitrogen removal efficiency compared to the system with only activated sludge. The study also revealed the microenvironments formed in the coupled system, and identified novel nitrate-dependent ferric oxidizing bacteria.
