Article Synopsis
  • Vermicelli production wastewater contains high levels of organic and nutrient pollutants, creating environmental challenges that conventional treatments struggle to manage efficiently.
  • A study tested the Fenton process coupled with aerobic activated sludge to improve the treatment of this wastewater, finding optimal conditions for maximum pollutant removal.
  • The integrated system showed promising results, achieving significant reductions in key parameters (like COD and BOD), but highlighted the need for further research to improve treatment efficiency, particularly due to the impact of high total dissolved solids (TDS).

Microbial iron reduction (MIR) is an important and ubiquitous natural process in the biogeochemical cycling of iron and carbon in anaerobic sedimentary and subsurface environments. The objectives of this study were (1) to determine if the MIR process can enhance the inactivation of Escherichia coli cells under anaerobic conditions and (2) to identify potential inactivation mechanisms. Laboratory microcosm experiments showed that the presence of MIR activity significantly enhanced E.
