Article Abstract

In-situ excess sludge reduction includes three main techniques: uncoupling metabolism, lysis-cryptic growth, and microbial predation. In this study, machine learning was utilized to analyze in-situ sludge reduction, addressing the gap between large dataset and industrial needs. The best prediction model was Random Forest (R = 0.8). SHapley Additive exPlanation analysis showed that treatment dosage, type of reagent, sludge retention time, and treatment energy were important features for in-situ sludge reduction. Considering both sludge reduction efficiency and effluent quality, partial dependence plot (PDP) analysis showed that lysis-cryptic growth was the best in-situ sludge reduction techinique; ultrasound and ultrasound-uncoupling were the best sludge lysis methods. 2D-PDP showed that suitable conditions for lysis-cryptic growth were: sludge recirculation ratio 15-100 %, energy 0.36-1.8 W/mL, time 0-15 min, dosage 4-5 mg/L. This study provides a scientific foundation for the optimized control of in-situ sludge reduction processes, providing a reference for practical applications.

Hydrothermal-based Wastewater Solids Management for Targeted Resource Recovery and Decarbonization in the Contiguous U.S.

Environ Sci Technol

September 2025

The Grainger College of Engineering, Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, Urbana, Illinois 61801, United States.

Wastewater solids management is a key contributor to the operational cost and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of water resource recovery facilities (WRRFs). This study proposes a 'waste-to-energy' strategy using a hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL)-based system to displace conventional energy- and emission-intensive practices. The proposed system directs HTL-produced biocrude to oil refineries and recovers regionally tailored nitrogen and phosphorus fertilizers.

Antibiotic resistance is the never-ending war among medical researchers and microbial life forms. The extensive evolving potential of the microorganisms, in combination with improper usage, storage and disposal of the marketed antibiotics generated from natural or artificial sources, always calls for the need for novel antimicrobial agents with different modes of action. In this project, azo-oxime complexes of iron and manganese (seven in total) have been applied to wild multidrug-resistant pathogenic bacterial strains (isolated from sewage water of hospital).

Promising application of microalgal-bacterial granular sludge for 17α-ethinylestradiol removal: Effective transformation and detoxification.

Bioresour Technol

September 2025

Key Laboratory of the Three Gorges Reservoir Region's Eco-Environment, Ministry of Education, College of Environment and Ecology, Chongqing University, Chongqing 400044, China.

Microalgal-bacterial granular sludge (MBGS) efficiently removes conventional contaminants, but its potential for estrogen transformation and detoxification remains unclear, which is a concerning topic for biological wastewater treatment of endocrine-disrupting contaminants. This study comprehensively investigated the fate, transformation, and detoxification of 17α-ethinylestradiol (EE2) in MBGS. Results demonstrated that MBGS showed superior performance to standalone Chlorella vulgaris and aerobic granular sludge, achieving 80.
