Sulfonamide antibiotics (SMs) and heavy metals, simultaneously existing in swine wastewater, threat ecological security and public health. Anaerobic dynamic membrane bioreactor (AnDMBR) technology has shown great potential for excellent and cost-effective treatment of various types of industrial wastewaters. Herein, it was for the first time applied for treating the swine wastewater containing both SMs and heavy metals, with particular efforts devoted to understanding the fate of SMs and heavy metals with their effect on dynamic membrane (DM) fouling.

Anaerobic dynamic membrane bioreactors (AnDMBRs) technology would be cost-effective for SMX wastewater treatment, considering its low cost and satisfactory treatment efficiency. The performance of AnDMBR, though demonstrated to be excellent in treating many types of wastewaters, was for the first time investigated for treating SMX wastewater.

Sorption to mineral surfaces is one of the primary processes controlling the mobility and fate of W in soils, sediments, and aquifers. However, few papers published hitherto have not yet figured out the influences of dissolved organic matter (DOM) on this process.

Currently, our knowledge of the adsorption and partitioning behaviors of coexisting Cd-As onto organomineral composites is limited. Herein, we carefully studied Cd-As cosorption onto ferrihydrite organomineral composites made with either living or non-living organics, i.
