Insights into potassium permanganate reducing H2S generation from anaerobic fermentation of sludge

Qizi Fu et al.

Summary: Potassium permanganate, a versatile strong oxidant, has been used as an effective additive for degrading pollutants and recovering resources from waste activated sludge. Research has shown that KMnO4 significantly reduces H2S production during anaerobic fermentation of waste activated sludge. Furthermore, addition of KMnO4 inhibits the activities of sulfate reducing bacteria and other anaerobes responsible for sulfur-containing organics hydrolysis, leading to a reduction in sulfur-based precipitations and an increase in fermentation pH which benefits the chemical equilibrium of sulfide species.

Review of molecular and biochemical responses during stress induced stimulation and hormesis in insects

Rachel R. Rix et al.

Summary: The biphasic hormetic response to stress, characterized by low-dose stimulation and high-dose inhibition, is commonly observed in insects. Molecular and biochemical responses are closely related to phenotypic responses, although not in all cases. The coordination of gene and protein expression associated with protection mechanisms is important in the hormetic responses of insects.

Interaction of tetrabromobisphenol A (TBBPA) with microplastics-sediment (MPs-S) complexes: A comparison between binary and simple systems

Zongrui Li et al.

Summary: The presence of microplastics and associated organic pollutants in aquatic environments has caused increasing concerns. This study focused on the interactions between microplastics and sediment, and found that microplastics have high adsorption capacity for flame retardants. Factors such as ionic strength, dissolved organic matter, and microplastics' proportion and particle size can influence the sorption behavior.

Mechanisms of allicin exposure for the sludge fermentation enhancement: Focusing on the fermentation processes and microbial metabolic traits

Feng Wang et al.

Summary: This study revealed the impact of allicin on volatile fatty acid generation during waste-activated sludge fermentation. The results showed that the presence of allicin significantly enhanced the VFA yield and promoted the solubilization, hydrolysis, and acidification of the sludge. Metagenomic analysis revealed the upregulation of key genes involved in microbial metabolism and fatty acid synthesis. Allicin also induced the production of signaling molecules and enhanced microbial adaptive capacity. The study demonstrates the potential of allicin for improving VFA production in waste-activated sludge fermentation.

Tetrabromobisphenol A (TBBPA) anaerobic biodegradation occurs during acidogenesis

Williane Vieira Macedo et al.

Summary: This study provides evidence on the anaerobic biodegradation of TBBPA in domestic sewage, showing that the removal of TBBPA involves acidogenesis and methanogenesis processes. Through continuous operation of reactors for over 100 days, it was found that TBBPA degradation occurs during acidogenesis via cometabolism supported by non-specific enzymes and dehalorespiration metabolism established by electron donors.

Mechanistic insights into the effect of poly ferric sulfate on anaerobic digestion of waste activated sludge

Xuran Liu et al.

Summary: Poly ferric sulfate (PFS) has a significant impact on methane production in activated sludge, leading to decreased methane potential and production rate, as well as extended lag time. PFS causes physical enmeshment, disrupts enzyme activity, and inhibits the bioprocess of hydrolysis, acidogenesis, and methanogenesis.
