Exploring the fate of dissolved organic matter at the molecular level in the reactive electrochemical ceramic membrane system using fluorescence spectroscopy and FT-ICR MS

Tahir Maqbool et al.

Summary: This research evaluated the performance of a reactive electrochemical ceramic membrane (REM) in treating secondary effluent and investigated the fate of dissolved organic matter (DOM) at the molecular level. The study found that REM effectively removed DOM through adsorption, electrosorption, and oxidation processes, leading to the degradation of fluorescence components and the formation of stable finished water. The combination of fluorescence spectroscopy and FT-ICR MS provided insights into the behavior of DOM during electro-oxidation in the REM system. These findings are significant for understanding the potential of REM in different water sources and predicting the composition of DOM in finished water.

Xiaoyan Y. Ma et al.

Summary: In this study, the variation in the characteristics and toxicity of EfOM of different molecular sizes during natural sunlight irradiation was investigated. It was found that EfOM with lower molecular weight, higher unsaturation degree, and higher humification and fluorescence had higher luminescent bacteria toxicity under sunlight irradiation. Additionally, sunlight irradiation could reduce the genotoxicity of EfOM. These findings are important for improving the ecological safety of aquatic environments using natural sunlight.

Effect of UV/chlorine treatment on photophysical and photochemical properties of dissolved organic matter

Yangjian Zhou et al.

Summary: This study investigated the effects of UV/chlorine treatment on the photophysical and photochemical properties of DOM using Suwannee River fulvic acid (SRFA) and Suwannee River natural organic matter (SRNOM) as representatives. The results showed that increasing chlorine dosage led to decreased absorbance of the two DOM samples and changes in their aromaticity, molecular weight, and electron-donating capacity. The quantum yields of excited triplet state of DOM, singlet oxygen, and hydroxyl radicals first decreased and then increased with increasing chlorine dosages in the UV/chlorine systems due to different reaction pathways. This study provides insights into the dynamic roles of DOM in the photodegradation of micropollutants.

Microbial Roles in Dissolved Organic Matter Transformation in Full-Scale Wastewater Treatment Processes Revealed by Reactomics and Comparative Genomics

Liye Wang et al.

Summary: Microbe-mediated DOM transformation during wastewater treatment significantly increases DOM's aromaticity and unsaturation, diversifying DOM richness and generating nitrogenous and sulfur-containing compounds through oxidoreduction, functional group transfer, and bond formation. Network analysis shows microbial division of labor in DOM transformation with hub microbes correlated to liable DOM consumption and recalcitrant compound transformation, while peripheral degraders may feed on hub microbe metabolites. Developing technologies to selectively enrich peripheral degraders may advance DOM removal by decoupling liable and recalcitrant DOM transformation processes.
