Article Abstract

For efficient removal of COD from the potato processing wastewater, the green alga Haematococcus pluvialis and the bacterium Gordonia terrae were co-cultivated in sterilized wastewater. Results showed that co-cultivation of H. pluvialis and G. terrae enhanced COD removal by promoting cell growth, with the highest removal efficiency (88.9%) on day 12 and removal rate (305.3 mg·L-1·d-1) being achieved at the optimal inoculation ratio of 40:1, increasing 298.6%, 353%, and 159.9%, and 227.6% compared to those of the pure culture of H. pluvialis (22.3%, 67.4 mg·L-1·d-1) and G. terrae (34.2%, 93.2 mg·L-1·d-1), respectively. Supplementation of NaNO3 at the lowest concentration of 0.2 g·L-1 further promoted COD removal efficiency to 100% on day 10. Hence, co-cultivation of H. pluvialis and G. terrae provides an efficient way for complete removal of COD from wastewaters with the suitable COD/nitrogen ratio (C/N) of 8.08.

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.

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 %.

In this study, Fe-Ni-layered double hydroxide modified crayfish shell biochar substrate (Fe-Ni-LDH@CSBC) was successfully prepared and introduced into constructed wetland (CW) to research the Cr(VI) removal mechanism through substrate adsorption and microbial action. Adsorption experiments demonstrated the equilibrium adsorption capacities of Fe-Ni-LDH@CSBC for Cr(VI) could reach 1058.48 (C=10 mg/L) and 1394.

This study explores the role of α-Fe₂O₃ in improving extracellular electron transfer (EET) and symbiotic interactions between electroactive Shewanella oneidensis MR-1, its gene-deficient mutants (ΔmtrC, ΔomcA, and ΔcymA), and microalgae (Chlorella vulgaris). The iron oxide facilitates the efficient transfer of electrons generated by MR-1 to microalgal photosystem via the pathway of CymA-MtrC-OmcA to α-Fe₂O₃. This process enhances the removals of TOC, TN, and NH₄⁺-N in the MR-1 bacterial-algal consortium by 9.

This research investigates the behavior of key components within aerobic and anoxic bioreactors in Biological Nitrogen Removal (BNR) bioprocesses. A mathematical model based on the Modified Ludzack-Ettinger (MLE) configuration is proposed. The model comprises an ensemble of ten differential equations derived from mass balances in the MLE system, complemented with a set of biokinetic models.
