Dewatering performance of aerobic granular sludge under centrifugal with different sludge conditioning agent.

The aerobic granular sludge(AGS) technology draw scientific researchers attention, and more and more scientific research focuses on it, due to its superior advantages, such as good settling performance, high biological phase, high toxicity resistance and multiple biological effects. With the rapid development of AGS technology, a considerable amount of residual AGS will be produced, and dehydration is the biggest bottleneck of sludge reduction. This study investigated the dewatering process and method of residual AGS cultured by continuous flow experiment.

Combining Lattice Boltzmann method and genetic algorithm to optimize the layout of artificial floating islands in river network in China.

How to solve the pollution problem of water environment in river network is a hot issue in the world. Artificial floating island is an efficient way to deal with water pollution. Taking Jiashan, Zhejiang, China, as an example, Lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) is used to simulate the law of hydrodynamics and pollutant transport in river network.

Deposition of polystyrene microplastics on bare or biofilm-coated silica analysed via QCM-D.

The mobility of microplastics (MPs) in aqueous media is closely related to their environmental risk. The naturally occurring silica substrate surface in the aquatic environment is easily colonized by microorganisms and forms a biofilm, which may affect the migration and distribution of MPs. Herein, a typical MP, polystyrene (PS), and Pseudomonas fluorescens (P.

Removal of nitrate from agricultural runoff in biochar electrode based biofilm reactor: Performance and enhancement mechanisms.

A biochar electrode based biofilm reactor was developed for advanced removal of nitrate from agricultural runoff. The corn-straw (Zea mays L.) biochar formed at 500 °C has an adsorption capacity of NO-N up to 2.

Label-free ratiometric DNA detection using two kinds of interaction-responsive emission dyes.

A novel ratiometric method with label-free and dual-wavelength signal outputs was developed for DNA detection by employing two kinds of structure-specific dyes that characterising interaction-responsive emission property. The ratiometric platform for the fluorescent detection of DNA was based on target-induced structural transformation from stem-loop structure incorporating split G-quadruplex (SISG) to doubule-strand DNA (dsDNA). The SISG conformation will be disrupted upon binding to the target DNA of perfect complementary sequence, resulting in fluorescence decrease at 610nm as NMM releases from SISG and fluorescence increase at 450nm as DAPI inserts into the dsDNA.
