Here, the stable performance of nitrogen removal from digester liquor after partial nitrification was experimentally demonstrated in an up-flow anammox reactor with polyethylene sponge (PE sponge) as a biomass carrier. A high nitrogen loading rate of 8.4 kg-N/m(3)/day with a TN removal rate of 7.6 kg-N/m(3)/day was obtained in this study, indicating PE sponge carrier is effective to attain high nitrogen removal performance. This high NLR should be mainly attributed to the successfully operational strategy, the biomass carrier with strong adsorption as well as the functional microbial community. The reaction ratio of NH(4)(+):NO(2)(-):NO(3)(-) using the anaerobic digester liquor as feeding media was 1:1.09:0.14. In addition, the channeling phenomenon was investigated in this study, and the problem could be solved through keeping the sludge bed lower than 2/3 of the effective height of the reactor. Furthermore, the settling property of the anammox granules was enhanced significantly and the bacteria community was verified by DNA analysis. The new species of anammox bacteria (kumadai-1) and KSU-1 were confirmed to be the predominant species after stable anammox performance was obtained.

Ce1-xMnxVO4 with Improved Activity for Low-Temperature Catalytic Reduction of NO with NH3.

Chem Asian J

January 2025

Fudan University, Department of Environmental Science and Engineering, Shanghai Handan Road 220, 200433, Shanghai, CHINA.

Novel Ce1-xMnxVO4 catalysts prepared via modified hydrothermal synthesis were used in selective catalytic reduction of NO using NH3 (NH3-SCR). The Ce1-xMnxVO4 catalysts displayed optimum NO removal efficiency at 250 oC. Physicochemical properties including crystal type, morphology, particle size, elemental composition, BET surface area, chemical bond, and valence state were studied by XRD, TEM, EDS, N2 adsorption-desorption, Raman spectroscopy, and XPS.

Electronic address:

Endogenous nitrogen (N) release from lake sediments is one of main causes affecting water quality, which can be affected by the presence of iron (Fe) minerals and organic matter, especially low-molecular-weight organic acids (LMWOAs). Although these substances always coexist in sediments, their interaction effect on N fate is not yet clear. In this study, the role and mechanisms of the coexistence of iron mineral (ferrihydrite, Fh) and LMWOAs, i.

Electrical activation of periodate by nano-zero-valent cobalt/nitrogen-doped carbon for sulfisoxazole degradation: Insights into rapid electron transfer mechanisms.

Periodate (PI) activation via three-dimensional electrochemical (E) is a promising approach for degrading sulfisoxazole (SIZ), while the scarcity of active sites significantly limits the efficient electron-transfer rate. Herein, we synthesized multiple strongly active zero-valent cobalt (Co) nanoparticles encapsulated in nitrogen-doped carbon (NC) shells through Co-potassium chloride (KCl) doping pyrolysis of Zeolitic Imidazolate Framework-8 (ZIF-8) to induce the rapid electron transfer pathways (ETP). Specifically, molten KCl doping provides confined structures for Co with a diameter of 12.
