Efficient nitrogen removal in microbial fuel cell - constructed wetland with corncobs addition for secondary effluent treatment

Mengni Tao et al.

Summary: The addition of corncobs in treating secondary effluent from municipal wastewater treatment plants significantly enhances the denitrification performance and bioelectricity generation in a microbial fuel cell-constructed wetland system. The optimal dosage of corncobs is found to be 70 g/m(2), resulting in the highest nitrate removal and power density. High-throughput sequencing analysis reveals the presence of microorganisms related to organics degradation, and certain functional genera contribute to higher nitrogen removal and bioelectricity generation in the MFC-CW system.

In situ remediation of Cr(VI) contaminated groundwater by ZVI-PRB and the corresponding indigenous microbial community responses: a field-scale study

Qing Wang et al.

Summary: The study found that a permeable reactive barrier (PRB) successfully reduced hexavalent chromium (Cr (VI)) concentrations through chemical reduction, impacting the indigenous microbial community structure. Competitive growth among Cr(VI)-reducing bacteria was observed in the PRB area, while Cr(VI)-reducing bacteria were enriched downgradient, indicating further bio-reduction of Cr(VI) to Cr(III). This bio-reduction could serve as a secondary mechanism for prolonged removal of Cr(VI) from groundwater, influenced by environmental factors such as pH, dissolved oxygen, Cr(VI) levels, oxidation-reduction potential, and temperature.

Recycled utilization of ryegrass litter in constructed wetland coupled microbial fuel cell for carbon-limited wastewater treatment

Zhengkai Tao et al.

Summary: The integration of microbial fuel cell (MFC) and recycled utilization of ryegrass litter planted in constructed wetland (CW) can effectively solve wetland plant litter disposal and improve the nitrogen removal of carbon-limited wastewater. The addition of ryegrass litter significantly increased the nitrogen removal rate and promoted microbial growth and denitrification. In MFC-CW, the introduction of MFC not only increased denitrification, but also accelerated biomass hydrolysis and promoted the enrichment and growth of functional microorganisms.
