Long-term effects of COD/N ratios on the nitrogen removal performance and bacterial community of an anammox reactor were evaluated by adding a synthetic medium (with glucose) and real anaerobic effluent to a SBR. At a COD/N ratio of 2.8 (COD, 390mg·L(-1)) ammonium removal efficiency was 66%, while nitrite removal remained high (99%). However, at a COD/N ratio of 5.0 (COD, 300mg·L(-1)), ammonium and nitrite removal efficiencies were high (84% and 99%, respectively). High COD, nitrite, and ammonium removal efficiencies (80%, 90% and 95%, respectively) were obtained on adding anaerobically pre-treated municipal wastewater (with nitrite) to the reactor. DGGE revealed that the addition of anaerobic effluent changed the bacterial community structure and selected for DNA sequences related to Brocadia sinica and Chloroflexi. Adding glucose and anaerobic effluent increased denitrifiers concentration threefold. Thus, the possibility of using the anammox process to remove nitrogen from anaerobically pre-treated municipal wastewater was demonstrated.

The archaeal class is widely and abundantly distributed in anoxic habitats. Metagenomic studies have suggested that they are mixotrophic, capable of CO fixation and heterotrophic growth, and involved in acetogenesis and lignin degradation. We analyzed 35 metagenome-assembled genomes (MAGs), including the first complete circularized MAG (cMAG) of the Bathy-6 subgroup, from the metagenomes of three full-scale pulp and paper mill anaerobic digesters and three laboratory methanogenic enrichment cultures maintained on pre-treated poplar.

Hydrogen (H) is considered to be an energy carrier with high yields in future. Using green nanoparticles as the catalyst to produce H from organic wastes is an environmentally friendly and cost-effective approach. This study specifically addresses H production biologically from domestic wastewater using dark fermentation process with green nanoparticles in anaerobic condition.

Article Synopsis
- * A techno-economic assessment (TEA) evaluated different treatment processes, comparing traditional mesophilic AD and innovative methods like temperature-phased AD and thermo-alkali pre-treatment.
- * The findings showed that while temperature-phased AD slightly increased biogas production, it wasn't cost-effective, whereas thermo-alkali pre-treatment significantly enhanced biogas yield, highlighting varying economic feasibility for WWTPs depending on pre-treatment methods.

The extensive production of olive mill solid waste (OMSW) from olive oil industry in the Mediterranean basin claims effective treatments and valorization strategies. This study aims to elucidate the potential of anaerobic digestion (AD) and anaerobic fermentation (AF) to convert pre-treated OMSW into biogas (CH) and volatile fatty acids (VFA), respectively. The two thermal treatment conditions (65 °C and 180 °C) that are being implemented in the industry that manages the OMSW were tested.
