Aerobic granular sludge (AGS) was successfully cultivated at 27±1 °C and pH 7.0±1 during the treatment of rubber wastewater using a sequential batch reactor system mode with complete cycle time of 3 h. Results showed aerobic granular sludge had an excellent settling ability and exhibited exceptional performance in the organics and nutrients removal from rubber wastewater. Regular, dense and fast settling granule (average diameter, 1.5 mm; settling velocity, 33 m h(-1); and sludge volume index, 22.3 mL g(-1)) were developed in a single reactor. In addition, 96.5% COD removal efficiency was observed in the system at the end of the granulation period, while its ammonia and total nitrogen removal efficiencies were up to 94.7% and 89.4%, respectively. The study demonstrated the capabilities of AGS development in a single, high and slender column type-bioreactor for the treatment of rubber wastewater.

Addressing the environmental challenges posed by oil spills and industrial wastewater is critical for sustainable development. Graphene aerogels demonstrate significant potential as highly efficient adsorbents due to their high specific surface area, excellent structural tunability and outstanding chemical stability. Among available fabrication methods, the hydrothermal self-assembly technique stands out for its low cost, high tunability and good scalability.

This study focused on a new approach for valorization of both ground tire rubber (GTR) and nitrate-containing wastewater via simultaneous devulcanization and denitrification. Initially, sulfur-based autotrophic denitrifiers were successfully enriched from three different seed sludge sources, biological nutrient removal (BNR) sludge, anaerobic digester sludge and BNR sludge of a leather organized industrial zone WWTP. Average nitrate removal efficiencies were 96-98%.

Anionic polysaccharide-based gels enable the design of biobased materials with biochemical properties, non-toxic and natural origin. A new set of cationic gels was prepared from carboxymethylcellulose (CMC)-doped tertiary amino functional cationic monomers 2-(dimethylamino)ethyl methacrylate and N-(3-(dimethylamino)propyl) methacrylamide via the formation of semi-interpenetrated network (semi-IPN) at different polymerization temperatures, T. A detailed understanding of the temperature-dependent synthesis and physicochemical response is required for the design of interpenetrating networks with CMC as an adsorbent that provides effective sources for the removal of azo-food dyes such as tartrazine and carmoisine from aqueous solutions.
