Article Abstract
Anaerobic treatment of chloramphenicol wastewater holds significant promise due to its potential for bioenergy generation. However, the high concentration of organic matter and residual toxic substances in the wastewater severely inhibit the activity of microorganisms. In this study, a three-dimensional graphene aerogel (GA), as a conductive material with high specific surface area (114.942 m g) and pore volume (0.352 cm g), was synthesized and its role in the efficiency and related mechanism for EGSB reactor to treat chloramphenicol wastewater was verified. The results indicated that synergy effects of GA for Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) removal (increased by 8.17 %), chloramphenicol (CAP) removal (increased by 4.43 %) and methane production (increased by 70.29 %). Furthermore, GA increased the average particle size of anaerobic granular sludge (AGS) and promoted AGS to secrete more redox active substances. Microbial community analysis revealed that GA increased the relative abundance of functional bacteria and archaea, specifically Syntrophomonas, Geobacter, Methanothrix, and Methanolinea. These microbial species can participate in direct interspecific electron transfer (DIET). This research serves as a theoretical foundation for the application of GA in mitigating the toxic impact of refractory organic substances, such as antibiotics, on microorganisms during anaerobic treatment processes.

Emerging contaminants (ECs) in water are a prominent environmental concern worldwide. Despite advanced oxidation or reduction being appealing transformation approaches, existing technologies face challenges in adaptability to the removal of both electron-rich ECs and ECs with electron-withdrawing moieties. Here, a Janus electrocatalytic membrane was fabricated to induce hydroxyl radicals (OH) and atomic hydrogen (H*) simultaneously and tune redox processes via sequential tactics to achieve adaptable and ultrafast removal of diverse ECs.

Unlabelled: Gram-negative pathogenic bacteria play a significant role in spreading infections, with some strains exhibiting resistance to multiple antibiotics. Aquatic and wastewater systems, which receive effluents from various sources, contain pathogenic bacteria, chemicals, and antibiotic contaminants. This study investigated the bacterial load and antibiotic resistance profiles of gram-negative bacteria in water samples from wastewater systems and River Sosiani in Eldoret town, Kenya.

The engineering application of electro-Fenton process is subject to limited availability of •OH caused by mass transfer limitation and the short lifetime of •OH in water. In this study, an efficient electro-Fenton treatment process is developed by constructing a flow-through micro-nanoscale spatial confinement electrode with NiFe bimetal atom catalyst for oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). The NiN-FeN active sites are anchored onto carbon nanotubes grown in the tunnel of carbonized pine wood (NiFe-NCNTs-CP).

Background: Cholera remains a public health challenge in Kenya. To better understand its dynamics, we analyzed genomes from clinical and environmental samples collected during the 2022-2023 outbreak. These strains were compared with historical genomes from Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, and Haiti to inform strategies for cholera prevention, control, and elimination in Kenya.
