Article Abstract
Efficient removal and recovery of phosphorus from aquaculture tailwater is challenging due to increasing strict water environment restrictions. This study presents a sustainable approach by using microalgae-waste-derived hydrogels/membranes for phosphorus adsorption and microalgae cultivation. Waste from Euglena gracilis (or Haematococcus pluvialis), modified with magnesium, was converted into biochars (abbreviated as MEBC or MHBC). This biochars were then combined with sodium alginate to fabricate hydrogels and with polyvinyl chloride to create membranes. Due to the almost 100 % phosphorus removal of MEBC (or MHBC) biochar, the as-obtained hydrogels/membranes demonstrated excellent phosphate adsorption, reducing total phosphorus in real aquaculture tailwater from 11 mg/L to 0. Additionally, the phosphorus-saturated hydrogel served as a phosphorus source for microalgae cultivation, while the membranes facilitated microalgae harvesting with a water flux over 40 L/m/h. This study provides an eco-friendly solution for using microalgae-waste-derived materials to effectively address phosphorus removal and recovery challenges in aquaculture tailwater.

Pollutants and pathogens in aquaculture systems may cause economic losses and threaten public health. Yet, the risks associated with microbiological contaminants and their relationship with environmental factors remain largely unknown. In this study, two typical eel farms in southeast China were chosen for investigation of water quality and microbial community in the treatment processes.

In this study, periodic dynamic tracking and sampling of water, organisms, feed, and feed additives were performed to investigate the contamination characteristics, bioaccumulation, and sources of antibiotics, and the ecological, health, and resistance risks were evaluated. Eleven antibiotics were detected, predominantly including florfenicol, enrofloxacin, and trimethoprim. Aqueous concentrations ranged from 0.

Constructed wetlands (CWs) effectively treat aquaculture tailwater but face challenges from greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions affecting their carbon sink potential. Few systematic studies have been conducted to identify the drivers of temporal variation of GHG emissions in CWs. Through year-round monitoring of an integrated vertical flow constructed wetland (IVCW), we identified seasonal dynamics in carbon oxide (CO), methane (CH), and nitrous oxide (NO) emissions, with summer fluxes exceeding winter levels by 12-fold for CH and 3-fold for NO.
