The potent effects of polyoxometalates (POMs) on controlling sulfide and methane production from sewers

Haixiao Guo et al.

Summary: This study demonstrated that the use of Polyoxometalates (POMs) as a specific inhibitor of sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) can effectively control sulfide and methane production in sewers. The one-time dosing of POMs significantly reduced sulfide production and prolonged the recovery time. When combined with a low level of free nitrous acid, POMs also showed improved methane control and reduced organic carbon loss. Furthermore, the use of POMs had a beneficial effect on downstream nitrogen removal. Mechanistic studies revealed that POMs disrupted biofilms and inhibited key enzymatic activities, leading to suppressed microbial metabolic activities.

Novel Insights into the Mechanisms of Periodate-Based Pretreatment in Enhancing Short-Chain Fatty Acids from Waste Activated Sludge

Haixiao Guo et al.

Summary: This study developed a novel method using periodate (PI) pretreatment to enhance the yield and quality of short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) from waste activated sludge (WAS). The PI pretreatment improved the disintegration and decomposition of WAS, providing more substrates for SCFA production. Additionally, the microbial community shifted towards hydrolytic and acidification-associated microorganisms, leading to increased SCFA production.

Enhanced anaerobic digestion of waste activated sludge with periodate-based pretreatment

Haixiao Guo et al.

Summary: This study demonstrates the significant improvement in methane generation from waste activated sludge (WAS) through periodate (PI) pretreatment and provides underlying mechanisms. PI can be activated without additional activator and generates radicals that promote the disintegration of WAS and release of biodegradable substances. Additionally, PI can degrade recalcitrant organics and enhance methanogenesis. PI pretreatment enriches the microbial community involved in methanogenesis and improves key enzyme activities and metabolic pathways.

Combination of nitrate and sodium nitroprusside dosing for sulfide control with low carbon source loss in sewer biofilm reactors

Guijiao Zhang et al.

Summary: The combination of nitrate and sodium nitroprusside (SNP) was found to be highly synergistic for sulfide control in sewer systems, reducing chemical costs by approximately 35% and minimizing loss of organic carbon source. Nitrate combined with SNP could effectively promote the activity of autotrophic, nitrate reducing-sulfide oxidizing bacteria while reducing the abundance of heterotrophic, nitrate-reducing bacteria. This strategy also promoted the dissimilatory nitrate reduction process, utilizing sulfide as an effective electron donor.

Simultaneous control of sulfide and methane in sewers achieved by a physical approach targeting dominant active zone in sediments

Daheng Ren et al.

Summary: This study proposes a novel physical control approach called intermittent surface sediment flushing to address multiple issues caused by sewer sediments. The results show that flushing the surface sediments immediately reduces sulfide and methane production, and it takes about a week for the activities to recover to 50% of the maximum. Compared to chemical dosing methods, this approach greatly reduces operating costs and environmental impact.

Stress responses of sulfate-reducing bacteria sludge upon exposure to polyethylene microplastics

Mei Tang et al.

Summary: The stress responses of sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) sludge to polyethylene (PE) microplastic exposure were studied. Low levels of PE microplastics had limited effect on SRB consortia, whereas higher levels imposed physiological stresses. However, the overall reactor performance was less affected. Additionally, SRB consortia promoted the production of extracellular polymeric substances in response to higher concentrations of PE microplastics, providing protective effects.
