A bacterial strain, which could utilize quinoline as the sole carbon, nitrogen and energy source, was isolated from the activated sludge in a coking wastewater treatment plant. According to the 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis, the strain was identified as Acidovorax sp. Taken into consideration of both the growth and the quinoline degradation of the strain, the optimized degradation conditions were acquired as following: 10% inoculum, pH value of 8.0-10.0, 35 degrees C and 150 r x min(-1). The process of its growth was simulated by Haldane kinetic model under different initial quinoline concentrations, the fitted curve had a good correlation with test measured values. Furthermore, coking wastewater was bioaugmented by the mixed strains of DQS-01 and D2 with enhanced process in a moving bed biofilm reactor, and the COD degradation rate was 87.4% within 72 h.

Phenolic compounds are an extensive group of natural and anthropogenic organic substances of the aromatic series containing one or more hydroxyl groups. The main sources of phenols entering the environment are waste from metallurgy and coke plants, enterprises of the leather, furniture, and pulp and paper industries, as well as wastewater from the production of phenol-formaldehyde resins, adhesives, plastics, and pesticides. Among this group of compounds, phenol is the most common environmental pollutant.

Electrochemical oxidation via in situ-generated reactive oxygen species (ROS) is effective for the mineralization of refractory organic pollutants. However, the oxidation performance is usually limited by the low yield and utilization efficiency of ROS. Herein, a B/N-doped diamond (BND) flow-through electrode with enhanced SO/OH generation and utilization was designed for electrochemical oxidation of organic pollutants in sulfate solution.

High-temperature wastewaters can themselves activate peroxydisulfate (PDS) to remove aromatic contaminants via polymerization. This, however, may result in an insufficient carbon source for denitrification during biochemical treatment, and the formed polymers, without a proper reuse method, will be costly to handle as hazardous waste. This study demonstrates that the addition of NaOH can suppress the polymerization of aromatic contaminants, which is observed not only in simulated wastewater but also in actual coking wastewater (ACW).

The peroxone reaction, a promising alternative technology for water treatment, is traditionally hampered by its restricted pH operational range and suboptimal oxidant utilization. In this study, we introduced a novel amphoteric metal oxide (ZnO)-regulated peroxone system that transcended the pH limitations of conventional peroxone processes. Our innovative approach exploited the unique properties of ZnO to regulate the reaction pathway of the traditional O/HO (or peroxymonosulfate, PMS) processes, resulting in a 52.

Organic pollutants removal via a polymerization transfer (PT) pathway based on the use of single-atom catalysts (SACs) promises efficient water purification with minimal energy/chemical inputs. However, the precise engineering of such catalytic systems toward PT decontamination is still challenging, and the conventional SACs are plagued by low structural stability of carbon material support. Here, we adopted magnesium oxide (MgO) as a structurally stable alternative for loading single copper (Cu) atoms to drive peroxymonosulfate-based Fenton-like reactions.
