Greater environmental risk of shale gas produced water from lacustrine than marine sources in Fuling shale gas field, China: Insights from inorganic compounds, dissolved organic matter, and halogenated organic compounds.

Lacustrine shale gas represents a promising frontier in the future development of shale gas resources. However, research on the characterization of lacustrine shale gas produced water (SGPW) remains scarce. In this study, we characterized the geochemical properties of both marine and lacustrine SGPW (MSGPW and LSGPW) and assessed their dissolved organic matter (DOM) components using fluorescence EEM spectroscopy.

The transformation of dissolved organic matter and formation of halogenated by-products during electrochemical advanced oxidation pretreatment for shale gas produced water.

Electrochemical advanced oxidation processes (EAOPs) have shown great potential for the treatment of shale gas produced water (SGPW). In this study, we investigated the transformation of dissolved organic matter (DOM) during EAOPs of SGPW and the formation of toxic halogenated by-products at various current densities, using fluorescence spectroscopy and Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry. We found that the priority of DOM removal was terrestrial humic-like > microbial humic-like > protein-like substances.

Electrochemical Advanced Oxidation of Perfluorooctanoic Acid: Mechanisms and Process Optimization with Kinetic Modeling.

Electrochemical advanced oxidation processes (EAOPs) are promising technologies for perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) degradation, but the mechanisms and preferred pathways for PFOA mineralization remain unknown. Herein, we proposed a plausible primary pathway for electrochemical PFOA mineralization using density functional theory (DFT) simulations and experiments. We neglected the unique effects of the anode surface and treated anodes as electron sinks only to acquire a general pathway.

Identification of key water parameters and microbiological compositions triggering intensive NO emissions during landfill leachate treatment process.

Landfill leachate treatment processes tend to emit more NO compared to domestic wastewater treatment. This discrepancy may be ascribed to leachate water characteristics such as high refractory COD, ammonium (NH) content, and salinity. In this work, the leachate influent was varied to examine the NO emission scenarios.

Characterization of dissolved organic matter during the O-based advanced oxidation of mature landfill leachate with and without biological pre-treatment and operating cost analysis.

In this study, the organic matter in an O-based advanced oxidation process (AOP) for treating raw leachate (RL) and bio-treated leachate (BTL) was characterized. The optimal conditions for COD removal in RL and BTL treatment were as follows: initial pH of 6.0 and HO dosage of 9 mL 30% HO L leachate, and initial pH of 12 without HO addition, respectively.

Discrepancies in NO emissions between household waste and its food waste and non-food waste components during the predisposal stage.

Nitrous oxide (NO) is a greenhouse gas (GHG) and an ozone-depleting substance. Municipal solid waste (MSW) management and treatment activities are some of the sources of GHG emissions. However, the biogenic GHG emissions during the predisposal stage of MSW management, during which waste is transferred to garbage cans and then transported to disposal sites, have received little attention.

[Fermentations of xylose and arabinose by Kluyveromyces marxianus].

Kluyveromyces marxianus, as unconventional yeast, attracts more and more attention in the biofuel fermentation. Although this sort of yeasts can ferment pentose sugars, the fermentation capacity differs largely. Xylose and arabinose fermentation by three K.

Enhanced fermentative performance under stresses of multiple lignocellulose-derived inhibitors by overexpression of a typical 2-Cys peroxiredoxin from .

Background: Bioethanol from lignocellulosic materials is of great significance to the production of renewable fuels due to its wide sources. However, multiple inhibitors generated from pretreatments represent great challenges for its industrial-scale fermentation. Despite the complex toxicity mechanisms, lignocellulose-derived inhibitors have been reported to be related to the levels of intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS), which makes oxidoreductase a potential target for the enhancement of the tolerance of yeasts to these inhibitors.
