This article studied the change of possible biochemistry and toxicity of emulsification wastewater before and after wet air oxidation and also studied the treating effect of wet air oxidation on emulsification wastewater after SBR process. The experimental results indicate that the toxicity of emulsification wastewater is equivalent to that of 0.12 mg/L HgCl2, while initial COD 48,000 mg x L(-1) and BOD5/COD (B/C) 0.072 3 in the inlet wastewater, and that the wastewater is highly concentrated organic wastewater. After WAO treatment, the value of BOD5/COD increases clearly. While the temperature is higher, the rise scope of B/C is bigger, and the biological toxicity reduces more. At 220 degrees C and 240 degrees C, the biological toxicity of wastewater decreases by 18.3% and 50.8% after WAO treatment, respectively. It can be seen that SBR treatment process has a perfect effect on WAO output water at 220 degrees C and has the strong anti-impact load ability. With respect to the initial COD 1500-3000 mg/L in the inlet wastewater, it exhibits the efficiency of 94.6%-96.1% COD removal. While initial COD 2000 mg/L in the inlet wastewater, the average COD in the outlet wastewater is 96.0 mg/L. The WAO-SBR process developed with respect to the emulsification wastewater treatment has a potential application prospect.

Extracellular Polymeric Substances (EPS) are ubiquitous in biological wastewater treatment (WWT) technologies like activated sludge systems, biofilm reactors, and granular sludge systems. EPS recovery from sludge potentially offers a high-value material for the industry. It can be utilized as a coating in slow-release fertilizers, as a bio-stimulant, as a binding agent in building materials, for the production of flame retarding materials, and more.

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in the environment is a growing concern leading to a focus on PFAS occurrence in biosolids, a byproduct of wastewater treatment processes, often applied to improve soil health. This led to the need for analytical method development for assessing PFAS in biosolids. This study compares three methods for PFAS quantitation, evaluating solvent extraction, clean-up techniques, and final injection solvents.

Environmental contamination from oil spills and industrial oily wastewater poses significant ecological risks due to the persistence of harmful organic compounds. To address these challenges, magnetic composite nanospheres (CMNP@CHPEI) are systematically developed, with carboxylated FeO nanoparticles (CMNP) as the core and amphiphilic hyperbranched polyethyleneimine (CHPEI) as the decorated shell. These novel nanospheres combine the controllable size and magnetic responsiveness of "hard" magnetic nanomaterials with the structural complexity and functional diversity of "soft" hyperbranched polymers.

The degummed wastewater from silk processing contains a huge amount of amino acids and polypeptides from sericin. The silk degumming water is far from being exploited fully. Sericin in the degumming water is generally wasted and causes environmental pollution.
