Heavy metal is regarded as one of the most representative contaminants in soil, and the chemical speciation is greatly related to the toxicity and transformation behavior, which attracts the attention of researchers for years. The environmental factors could change the speciation of heavy metals, plus to the complexity of soil system, and the transformation variation of speciation might occasional existed under similar conditions. At present, the different viewpoints of related issues are urgent to be investigated. The characteristics of DOM from straw humification were revealed with UV spectra, 3D-EEMs spectra and FTIR spectra, and the Tessier Sequential Extraction Procedure was used to study the speciation transformation behavior of lead affected by DOM. The linear relationship of the contents between DOC and lead bound to organic matter was indicated to further discuss the influence mechanism of lead speciation using FTIR. The results showed: the absorbance peak of DOM located in 229 nm in UV spectra, and the fluorescence peaks appeared around the regions of λ(ex)/em = 250/350 nm, λ(em) = 250/450 nm and λ(ex) = 330/450 nm, referred as UV fulvic-like fluorescence, and visible humic-like fluorescence, respectively. The dominant functional groups of DOM included--OH, C==O and N--H. The three fractions contents of lead (exchangeable, bound to iron and manganese oxides, residual) decreased, while that of lead bound to carbonates varied little. The contents of DOC and lead bound to organic matter appeared positive correlation (r == 0.691 8), indicating the effective complexation between DOM and lead ions. The functional groups of -OH, C==O and --COOH played an important role for the speciation transformation of lead, suggested from the FTIR spectra.

Bioclogging from organic accumulation significantly limits efficiency and longevity of constructed wetlands (CWs). In this study, hematite was introduced to enhance the oxidation of organics by dissimilatory iron reduction (DIR). Compared to gravel CWs (G-CWs), hematite CWs (H-CWs) enhanced the removal of COD, ammonium, and phosphate by 12 %, 46 %, and 72 %, while reducing CH and NO emissions by 69 % and 36 %.

Black soldier fly (BSF) organic fertilizer is known to enhance soil fertility and promote plant growth. However, its effects on soil carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) cycling remains unclear. In this study, we established a BSF chicken manure bioconversion system to produce BSF organic fertilizer and investigate its impacts on soil C and N cycling, as well as microbial ecological networks through metagenomic analysis.

This review examines the chemical and ecological interactions between filter-feeding mussels and the green macroalga Ulva prolifera in integrated multi-trophic aquaculture (IMTA) systems. Mussels are crucial for nutrient recycling, as they filter water and release bioavailable compounds such as ammonium (NH), urea (CO(NH)), and dissolved organic matter (DOM). These compounds promote Ulva growth and enhance microbial activity.

Large-scale anaerobic treatment involves a high risk of antibiotic pollution in anaerobically digested (AD) biosolids, which hinders the efficient utilization of farmland AD biosolids. Herein, a process for the in situ removal of antibiotics from AD biosolids using ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid disodium salt dihydrate as the release agent synergized with sodium persulfate oxidation is reported. The developed process was used to remove antibiotics from actual AD biosolids.

Tidal estuaries serve as critical zones for biogeochemical connectivity between terrestrial and oceanic ecosystems. With climate change magnifying the impact of flood events on riverine system, dissolved organic matter (DOM) cycling, the largest reactive elemental pool in ecosystems, in tidal estuaries tend to be more complex and remain poorly understood. To address this gap, the response of DOM dynamics to flood events in a typical tidal estuary was explored.
