Microbial response to the chronic toxicity effect of graphene and graphene oxide nanomaterials within aerobic granular sludge systems.

Nanomaterials present in wastewater can pose a significant threat to aerobic granular sludge (AGS) systems. Herein, we found that compared to graphene nanomaterials (G-NMs), the long-term presence (95 days) of graphene oxide nanomaterials (GO-NMs) resulted in an increased proliferation of filamentous bacteria, poorer sedimentation performance (SVI of 74.1 mL/g) and smaller average particle size (1224.

Microalgae-assisted heterotrophic nitrification-aerobic denitrification process for cost-effective nitrogen and phosphorus removal from high-salinity wastewater: Performance, mechanism, and bacterial community.

A microalgae-assisted heterotrophic nitrification-aerobic denitrification (HNAD) system for efficient nutrient removal from high-salinity wastewater was constructed for the first time as a cost-effective process in the present study. Excellent nutrient removal (∼100.0 %) was achieved through the symbiotic system.

Aerobic electrotrophic denitrification coupled with biologically induced phosphate precipitation for nitrogen and phosphorus removal from high-salinity wastewater: Performance, mechanism, and microbial community.

Electrotrophic denitrification (ED) is a promising nitrogen removal technique; however, the potential of ED coupled with biologically induced phosphate precipitation (BIPP) has not been fully explored. In this study, the performances, mechanisms, and microbial communities of the coupled system were investigated. The results showed that excellent nitrogen and phosphorus removal (both exceeding 92 %) was achieved in the salinity range of 20-60 g/L.

Long-term stable and energy-neutral mixed biofilm electrode for complete nitrogen removal from high-salinity wastewater: Mechanism and microbial community.

The steady mixed biofilm electrode (MBE) was investigated for the removal of nitrogen from mustard tuber wastewater. Results showed that complete nitrogen removal occurred over a wide initial chemical oxygen demand (COD)/total nitrogen (TN) ratio ranging from 2.8 to 9.

High-efficiency salt, sulfate and nitrogen removal and microbial community in biocathode microbial desalination cell for mustard tuber wastewater treatment.

Considering there is no study involving simultaneous salt, sulfate and nitrogen removal from high-salinity mustard tuber wastewater (MTWW), biocathode microbial desalination cell (BMDC) was first constructed and used to treat MTWW. The results showed that 97.4% of salt, 99.

Electricity generation and microbial community in long-running microbial fuel cell for high-salinity mustard tuber wastewater treatment.

High-salinity mustard tuber wastewater (MTWW) was utilized to obtain effluent treatment and recover bio-energy simultaneously in a microbial fuel cell (MFC). Since the long-term performance of MFCs in MTWW remains unclear, this study examined electricity generation and the microbial community that developed over a 195-day test. The MFC produced electricity over the entire testing period, with stable power output obtained on days 32-120.

Simultaneous nutrient and carbon removal and electricity generation in self-buffered biocathode microbial fuel cell for high-salinity mustard tuber wastewater treatment.

Mustard tuber wastewater (MTWW) was used as both anolyte and catholyte in biocathode microbial fuel cell (BMFC). The results showed simultaneous nutrient and carbon removal and electricity generation were realized in BMFC. Excellent Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) removal occurred in both anode (>90%) and cathode (>91%).

Performance of mixed-species biocathode microbial fuel cells using saline mustard tuber wastewater as self-buffered catholyte.

Mixed-species biocathode microbial fuel cells (MFCs) were constructed. Mustard tuber wastewater (MTWW) was used as catholyte. Simultaneous organic matters and nitrogen removal at the cathode was observed, and majority of contaminants reduced were accomplished within acclimating period (AP).

Mustard tuber wastewater treatment and simultaneous electricity generation using microbial fuel cells.

Mustard tuber wastewater (MTWW) was utilized as fuel in the typical dual-chamber microbial fuel cells (MFCs) to recover bio-energy and to obtain effluent treatment simultaneously. The whole experiment was divided into four phases characterized by increasing contents of primary clarifier effluent (PCE). Results showed substrate1, with which MFC generated a maximum power density of 246 mW/m(2), was the most appropriate fuel in terms of power recovery and the internal resistance and columbic efficiency were 121 Ω and 67.
