Article Abstract
This study explored the use of biochar to accelerate the establishment of anaerobic ammonium oxidation (anammox) reactors operating at 15 ± 1℃. Incorporating 10 g/L bamboo charcoal in S1 accelerated the start-up of anammox in 87 days, which was significantly shorter than 103 days in S0 (without biochar). After 140 days, S1 exhibited a 10.9 % increase in nitrogen removal efficiency due to a 28.9 % elevation in extracellular polymeric substances, bolstering anammox bacterial resilience. Predominant anammox bacteria (Cadidatus Brocadia and Cadidatus Jettenia) showed relative abundances of 3.19 % and 0.38 % in S1, respectively, which were significantly higher than 0.40 % and 0.05 % in S0. Biochar provides favorable habitats for the enrichment of anammox bacteria and accelerates the establishment of anammox at low temperatures. This finding holds promise for enhancing the efficiency of anammox in cold climates and advancing sustainable wastewater nitrogen removal.

This study investigated the efficacy of two microalgae treatment systems (Chlorella vulgaris monoculture and a Chlorella vulgaris-S395-2-Clonostachys rosea symbiotic system) in treating aquaculture wastewater, under varying concentrations of synthetic strigolactone analog (GR24). By exposing the systems to four GR24 doses (0, 10, 10, and 10 M), we examined the impact on biomass growth, photosynthesis, and wastewater treatment. Elevated GR24 concentrations bolstered metabolism and photosynthesis in the systems, fostering rapid symbiont growth and enhanced treatment efficiency.

Herein, organic/inorganic multiple adsorption sites were constructed on halloysite to intensify the selective adsorption performance of the adsorbent for Al(III) in rare earth solutions. The adsorption heat behavior and thermodynamics of the composite for different ion systems were investigated using microcalorimetry. The results showed that chitosan formed a mesoporous membrane on the acid-treated calcined halloysite (HalH) substrate through a strong electron interaction between the nitrogen atom of the amino group and the oxygen atom of SiO structure on HalH.

Treatment wetlands (TW) are a popular choice for decentralized wastewater treatment, with substantial documentation on their capacity to manage conventionally monitored pollutants. However, most insights into their effectiveness against emerging contaminants come from lab and mesocosm studies with a limited number of compounds, highlighting knowledge gaps in their performance at full scale. This study provides a first long-term, full-scale assessment of TW ability to remove a large number of organic micropollutants (OMPs) and manage antibiotic resistance under real-world conditions.

Unlabelled: Microalgae treatment is regarded as a green and environmentally acceptable method of treating pig farm biogas slurry (BS). Numerous studies have been conducted on the use of microalgae to treat sterilized BS. Nevertheless, in large-scale application settings, this method will undoubtedly result in high costs and low efficiency.

Microbial desalination cells (MDCs) have traditionally employed simplified NaCl solutions as feedwater for synchronous desalination and bioenergy recovery. Nevertheless, the specific mechanisms by which MDCs remove complex multi-ions from saline wastewater remain obscure. This study thoroughly investigated ion migration, bioelectrochemical dynamics, and microbial ecological responses across three distinct configurations: monovalent ions - PMDC, divalent cations - CMDC and anions - AMDC.
