A synthetic wastewater containing various pyridine concentrations (25-250 mg/L) was treated in a sequential anaerobic(B1)-anoxic(B2)-aerobic(B3) fed batch moving bed reactor (FMBR) system. Pyridine was associated with phenol (1500 mg/L), SCN- (800 mg/L), chemical oxygen demand (COD) (5400-5430 mg/L) and NH4+-N (500 mg/L) at hydraulic retention time (HRT) of 6 (B1: 3 days; B2 and B3: 1.5 days each) days. In B1, pyridine removal was 10-12% from influent concentration of 25-100 mg/L and beyond that, it was zero. Removal of phenol (53-39%) and COD (33-22%) occurred in B1, but pyridine above 50 mg/L inhibited both. In B2, 68-90% of pyridine removal occurred along with phenol (>98%), COD (>67%), SCN- (>85%) removal and denitrification. In B2, with an increase in pyridine loading removal rate of phenol, COD and nitrate increased, whereas SCN- removal decreased beyond pyridine loading of 0.031g/L day. In B3, nitrification decreased with high generation of free ammonia. Pyridine degradation in B1, B2 and B3 follows the Stover-Kincannon model with a maximum substrate removal rate of 111.1, 333.3 and 23.81 g/L day, respectively. Thiocyanate removal in B2 and ammonia removal in B3 follows the Bhatia inhibition model with a maximum substrate removal rate of 0.641 and 0.528/day, respectively. The overall efficiency of the FMBR system remained unaffected up to 250 mg pyridine/L at 6 days HRT.

The study explored the potential of an up-flow sulfate reducing fluidized-bed membrane bioreactor (SR-FMBR) for biogenic sulfide generation at room temperature together with evaluation of filtration and fouling characteristics developed under various operational conditions. The SR-FMBR was tested at different COD/sulfate (mg/mg) ratios for a total of 127 days, initially at 35 °C and then at 23 °C. SR-FMBR was able to achieve COD oxidation and sulfate reduction efficiencies up to 98%, and allowed for biogenic sulfide generation up to 600 mg/L (97% of theoretical value) at room temperature.

The stability of two sequential moving bed bioreactor systems operated in anaerobic-anoxic-aerobic continuous moving bed bioreactor (CMBR: R1-R2-R3) and semi-continuous fed batch moving bed bioreactor (FMBR: B1-B2-B3) modes was assessed for phenol shock load (PSL) applications in the presence of thiocyanate and ammonia. Both the systems were exposed to 3000 mg phenol/L (PSL-I) and 3500 mg phenol/L (PSL-II) for 3 days each from initial 2500 mg phenol/L without any intermediate concentration at 6 days HRT (hydraulic retention time). The effect of PSL-I on R1 was reversible within 10-12 days.

Summary Answer: Children born after FET have a similar risk of developing major CAs as children born after fresh ET.
What Is Known Already: The perinatal outcome in children born after FET is as good as that after fresh ET. Children born as a result of assisted reproductive technology (ART) have an increased risk for CAs when compared with spontaneously conceived children, but the knowledge on the risk for CAs in specific organ systems of children born after FET is limited.

Background: To examine the long-term child outcome after IVF until the age of 3 years in Northern Finland, we conducted a population-based cohort study.
Methods: First, a cohort of 299 IVF children born in 1990-1995 was compared with a cohort of 558 controls representing the general population in terms of a multiple birth rate of 1.2%, randomly chosen from the Finnish Medical Birth Register (FMBR) and matched for sex, year of birth, area of residence, parity, maternal age and social class (full sample analyses).
