Article Abstract
A laboratory-scale intermittent aeration bioreactor was investigated to treat biologically pretreated coal gasification wastewater that was mainly composed of NH3-N and phenol. The results showed that increasing phenol loading had an adverse effect on NH3-N removal; the concentration in effluent at phenol loading of 40mgphenol/(L·day) was 7.3mg/L, 36.3% of that at 200mg phenol/(L·day). The enzyme ammonia monooxygenase showed more sensitivity than hydroxylamine oxidoreductase to the inhibitory effect of phenol, with 32.2% and 10.5% activity inhibition, respectively at 200mg phenol/(L·day). Owing to intermittent aeration conditions, nitritation-type nitrification and simultaneous nitrification and denitrification (SND) were observed, giving a maximum SND efficiency of 30.5%. Additionally, ammonia oxidizing bacteria (AOB) and denitrifying bacteria were the main group identified by fluorescent in situ hybridization. However, their relative abundance represented opposite variations as phenol loading increased, ranging from 30.1% to 17.5% and 7.6% to 18.2% for AOB and denitrifying bacteria, respectively.

Background: Delivery room trials face ethical and logistical enrolment challenges, including requirements for prospective, antenatal, parental consent. The Sustained Aeration of Infant Lungs (SAIL) study was a randomised controlled trial of two resuscitation strategies at birth, enrolling infants using both prospective antenatal consent and deferred postnatal (consent-to-continue) pathways. We aimed to compare recruitment and outcomes between SAIL trial centres with deferred consent available versus centres only using prospective antenatal consent.

As the global transition toward circular wastewater treatment intensifies, extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) have emerged as valuable targets for resource recovery. Although most related efforts have focused on aerobic granular sludge, conventional activated sludge systems, which account for most global wastewater treatment, remain underexploited. Building on the established link between oxidative stress and EPS biosynthesis in pure strains, it is proposed that strategically manipulating oxygen exposure patterns to intensify oxidative stress in activated sludge microbial communities could enhance EPS production.

The removal of organic matter and total nitrogen (TN) in domestic wastewater was evaluated in a full-scale activated sludge (AS) system, operating with Extremely High Sludge Ages (EHSA) and cyclic aeration under continuous flow. A single bioreactor was used, applying intermittent aeration with a 45':15' on/off cycle. The results were obtained through six composite sampling periods of 24 h each.

Intermittent and continuous aeration strategies in combination with solids retention time (SRT) were investigated in terms of their impact on the performance and ecology of mainstream nitrification. Two lab-scale reactors (R1 and R2) were seeded with the same inoculum and subjected to intermittent aeration and continuous low aeration, respectively at statistically similar air-supply rates. For both reactors, SRT was progressively decreased from 8 d during Phase I to 4 and 2.
