Application oriented bioaugmentation processes: Mechanism, performance improvement and scale-up

Huilin Ma et al.

Summary: Bioaugmentation is a promising optimization method that introduces specific strains into biological treatment systems to improve treatment efficiency. This study comprehensively reviews the mechanisms of bioaugmentation, including microbial community structure, optimization methods, and feasible approaches for scale-up applications. It also examines the different contributions of indigenous and exogenous strains, the relationship between microbial community variation and system performance, and effective methods to address potential bioaugmentation failures. The study proposes gradual expansion from lab-scale to full-scale applications, combining direct dosing and biofilm techniques, and implementing side-stream reactors. Lastly, it outlines future challenges and prospects in the field.

Prolonged lifetime of biological activated carbon filters through enhanced biodegradation of melamine

Laura Piai et al.

Summary: This study evaluated the efficiency of removing micropollutants through biodegradation in BAC filters under favorable conditions, in addition to adsorption. Inoculation of melamine degrading biomass significantly increased the removal efficiency, and the provision of an additional carbon source almost completely removed melamine. Moreover, around 60% of the previously adsorbed melamine desorbed from the BAC surface when biodegradation rates in the liquid phase increased, resulting in partial recovery of the adsorption capacity.

Sustainable micropollutant bioremediation via stormwater biofiltration system

I. LeviRam et al.

Summary: This study aimed to improve the design of stormwater biofiltration systems for the removal of micropollutants and understand the role of micropollutant-degrading bacteria. The addition of granulated activated carbon to the filter media significantly enhanced the removal of atrazine, a model micropollutant, and accelerated its degradation. The prototype biofiltration system showed the potential for sustainable microbial remediation alongside the removal of stormwater macropollutants without compromising the overall removal performance.

Mass-Transfer-Limited Biodegradation at Low Concentrations.Evidence from Reactive Transport Modeling of Isotope Profiles in a Bench-Scale Aquifer

Fengchao Sun et al.

Summary: Research shows that isotope fractionation decreases significantly when organic pollutant concentrations fall below a certain level, indicating that membrane transfer is slow relative to enzyme turnover. By using a reactive transport model, it is possible to identify mass transfer limitations in biodegradation, especially at low concentrations.

Tracking 14C-Labeled Organic Micropollutants to Differentiate between Adsorption and Degradation in GAC and Biofilm Processes

Alexander Betsholtz et al.

Summary: The study investigated the rates and extents of biological degradation and adsorption in GAC-filter media with associated biofilm, using C-14-labeled organic micropollutants. Results showed higher degradation rates for diclofenac in GAC-filter media compared to other biofilms. The study demonstrated the potential use of C-14-labeled micropollutants in studying interactions and determining the relative contributions of adsorption and degradation in GAC-based treatment systems.

A water quality index for the removal requirement and purification treatment effort of micropollutants

T. E. Pronk et al.

Summary: A novel framework of indices was used to evaluate the water quality and purification treatment level of the Rhine River, revealing differences between sampling sites in index values. Despite the introduction of the WFD in 2000, the required purification treatment level for the Rhine River has not improved over the years.
