Polysorbate-80 pretreatment contributing to volatile fatty acids production associated microbial interactions via acidogenic fermentation of waste activated sludge

Xiaohuan Ai et al.

Summary: Polysorbate-80 pretreatment enhanced volatile fatty acids (VFAs) production of waste activated sludge (WAS) in acidogenic fermentation by improving solubilization and microbial diversity. The cooperation of Clostridium, Macellibacteroides, and Acidocella was strengthened for metabolic functions enhancement, leading to effective transformation of organic matter from sludge solid matters to VFAs.

Insight into aerobic phosphorus removal from wastewater in algal-bacterial aerobic granular sludge system

Zejiao Li et al.

Summary: This study found that aerobic phosphorus removal in the algal-bacterial aerobic granular sludge (AGS)-based wastewater treatment system is mainly controlled by macropore and micropore diffusion. The increase in light intensity promotes microalgae metabolism and leads to an increase in wastewater pH. The pH increase has a strong negative correlation with phosphorus uptake by polyphosphate-accumulating organisms and promotes chemical precipitation at a specific calcium to phosphorus ratio.

Calcium ions-effect on performance, growth and extracellular nature of microalgal-bacterial symbiosis system treating wastewater

Cong-Cong Tang et al.

Summary: This study investigated the effect of calcium ions on microalgae harvesting and wastewater treatment in a microalgal-bacterial symbiosis (MAPS) system. The results showed that low levels of calcium ions promoted the removal of COD and nutrients, while high levels of calcium ions caused a reduction in removal rates. Mechanism analysis revealed that the presence of calcium ions improved extracellular secretions, enhanced flocculation performance, and decreased the dispersibility of microalgae cells through electrical neutralization.

Start-up strategies to develop aerobic granular sludge and photogranules in sequential batch reactors

Marcos Sales et al.

Summary: In this study, start-up strategies for developing conventional aerobic granular sludge (AGS) and algal aerobic granular sludge (AAGS) (photogranules) were investigated. The results showed that AAGS had better stability and larger diameter, while AGS had a higher abundance of extracellular polymeric substances producing organisms. Variation in feeding time affected the biomass composition, with a 60-min feeding period resulting in higher nitrogen removal efficiency and more compact granules.

Microalgal-bacterial granular sludge process: A game changer of future municipal wastewater treatment?

Meng Zhang et al.

Summary: Future municipal wastewater treatment processes should shift towards multiple-functionality of synergetic water-resource-energy recovery and carbon neutral for maximizing environmental and economic sustainability. Current treatment technologies are unlikely to meet these requirements, while the amicroalgal-bacterial granular sludge process may provide a promising option for achieving multiple goals of municipal wastewater reclamation.

Interactions of chlorpyrifos degradation and Cd removal in iron-carbon-based constructed wetlands for treating synthetic farmland wastewater

Yu Zhang et al.

Summary: The study found that incorporating zeolite-based iron-carbon material into constructed wetlands can effectively remove chlorpyrifos and cadmium from farmland drainage, with removal efficiencies much higher than using zeolite-based constructed wetlands alone. The removal mechanism is primarily attributed to electron transfer, and chlorpyrifos can also promote denitrification. Additionally, the addition of iron-carbon material positively impacts the abundance of certain bacteria in the wetland.

Temperature-effect on the performance of non-aerated microalgal-bacterial granular sludge process in municipal wastewater treatment

Bin Ji et al.

Summary: The study found that high temperatures favored organic removal, with most of the ammonia-N being removed through microbial assimilation by microalgae and bacteria, and high efficiency of phosphorus removal. The contributions of microalgal and bacterial assimilations towards COD, ammonia and P removal appeared to be temperature-dependent.

Nitrogen and phosphorus removal by GAOs and PAOs using nitrate and limited oxygen as electron acceptors simultaneously and the impact of external carbon source in the anoxic phase

Huanjun Chen et al.

Summary: The study found that high removal efficiencies of NO3--N and P were achieved under limited oxygen conditions, with improved NH4+-N removal and anaerobic COD uptake under conditions of high oxygen concentrations. Different genera were responsible for P and NO3--N removal, with bacteria like Dechloromonas and norank_f_Bacteroidetes BD2-2 mainly involved in P removal, and Defluviicoccus and Candidatus Competibacter mainly responsible for NO3--N removal. Additionally, heterotrophic denitrification by bacteria like Azospira and Thauera could help remove COD and NO3--N when external COD was present, but this could lead to a decrease in P removal efficiency.
