In the present study, the soil column with radius of 30 cm and height of 200 cm was used to simulate a subsurface wastewater infiltration system. Under the hydraulic loading of 4 cm x d(-1), composition and transformation of dissolved organic matter (DOM) from different depths were analyzed in a subsurface wastewater infiltration system for treatment of septic tank effluent using three-dimensional excitation emission matrix fluorescence spectroscopy (3D-EEM) with regional integration analysis (FRI). The results indicate that: (1) from different depth, the composition of DOM was also different; influent with the depth of 0.5 m was mainly composed of protein-like substances, and that at other depths was mainly composed of humic- and fulvic-like substances. (2) DOM stability gradually increased and part of the nonbiodegradable organic matter can be removed during organic pollutants degradation process. (3) Not only the organic pollutants concentration was reduced effectively, but also the stability of the DOM improved in subsurface wastewater infiltration system.

Textile wastewater poses significant risks if discharged untreated, especially due to the presence of synthetic dyes, salts, and heavy metals. As a result, constructed wetlands have emerged as a promising solution for sustainable textile wastewater management. In this context, this study evaluates a micro-scale vertical subsurface flow constructed wetland (VSSFCW) for treating textile wastewater.

Article Synopsis
- The article addresses the urgent need for decentralized wastewater treatment in rural areas, focusing on the issue of physical clogging in small-scale artificial wetland systems.
- Through experimental analysis and advanced numerical simulations, the study explores how clogging affects the system's hydraulic efficiency and proposes a design strategy using vertical baffles to mitigate this issue.
- The successful implementation of this strategy in Fanrong Village led to a significant improvement in wastewater treatment efficiency and enhanced the overall rural landscape, contributing valuable insights for future sewage treatment solutions.
Horizontal subsurface flow constructed wetlands (HFCWs) are capable of eliminating organic matter and nitrogen while emitting less methane (CH) and nitrous oxide (NO) than free water surface flow wetlands. However, the simultaneous removal of pollutants and reduction of greenhouse gases (GHG) emissions from high-strength wastewater containing high levels of organic matter and ammonium nitrogen (NH-N) has not get been investigated. The influent COD concentration affected the efficiency of nitrogen removal, GHG emissions and the presence of iron from iron ore, but the COD and TP removal efficiencies remained unaffected.

Reducing blue and total water footprint outputs in irrigated agriculture with greywater footprint input from irrigation with recycled wastewater is an issue that needs to be investigated in protecting freshwater resources by increasing water availability. Therefore, the effect of three different irrigation levels of recycled wastewater and freshwater in the subsurface drip irrigation (SSDI), surface drip irrigation (SDI), and furrow irrigation (FI) methods on the blue, green, grey, and total water footprints per unit yield of silage maize, which is widely produced worldwide and has high water consumption, was investigated with a 2-year field study. The blue and total water footprints per unit fresh and dry biomass yields in the SSDI were 1.

Adding biochar can expedite the establishment of the anaerobic ammonia oxidation (anammox) process and improve the nitrogen removal efficiency of the anammox reactor. However, the optimization research of biochar derived from dewatered sludge on anammox is relatively limited. In this study, four sequencing batch reactors (SBRs) were compared for the enrichment of anammox bacteria using synthetic wastewater with sludge biochar carbonized at temperatures of 300°C, 550°C, and 800°C, and without biochar (CK).
