It is very important to control methane emissions to mitigate global warming. An intermittent micro-aeration control system was used to control methane emissions from an integrated vertical-flow constructed wetland (IVCW) to treat agricultural domestic wastewater pollution in this study. The optimized intermittent micro-aeration conditions were a 20-min aeration time and 340-min non-aeration time, 3.9 m h aeration intensity, evenly distributed micro-aeration diffusers at the tank bottom, and an aeration period of every 6 h. Methane flux emission by intermittent micro-aeration was decreased by 60.7% under the optimized conditions. The average oxygen transfer efficiency was 26.73%. The control of CH emission from IVCWs was most strongly influenced by the intermittent micro-aeration diffuser distribution, followed by aeration intensity, aeration time, and water depth. Scaling up of IVCWs is feasible in rural areas by using intermittent micro-aeration control as a mitigation measure for methane gas emissions for climate change.

Groundwater and soil contamination by aromatic amines (AAs), used in the production of polymers, plastics, and pesticides, often results from improper waste disposal and accidental leaks. These compounds are resistant to anaerobic degradation; however, micro-aeration can enhance this process by promoting microbial interactions. In batch assays, anaerobic degradation of aniline (0.

An intermittently-aerated moving bed biofilm reactor (MBBR) was proposed for nitrogen and carbon removal from low C/N synthetic rural wastewater. In purposes of low energy consumption and costs, the intermittent aeration modes were changed and the dissolved oxygen was reduced gradually during the operation. The results showed that effluent concentrations of ammonia nitrogen and chemical oxygen demand were lower than 15 and 50 mg/L, respectively, even under microaerobic condition (0.

Micro-aerobic enhancement technology has been developed as an effective tool to enhance simultaneous removal of sulfide, nitrate and organic carbon during the integrated autotrophic-heterotrophic denitrification (IAHD) process under high loading; however, its mechanism of enhancement for functional bacteria remains ambiguous. In this study, we discovered that heterotrophic sulfide-oxidizing nitrate-reducing bacteria (h-soNRB) are responsible for enhancing IAHD performance under micro-aerobic conditions with high sulfide loading. In a continuous IAHD bioreactor, aeration rate of 2.

This study developed an intermittent oxidation-reduction potential (ORP)-controlled micro-aeration system for high solids anaerobic digestion (AD) of lignocellulosic biomass without volatile fatty acids (VFA) accumulation at high organic loading rate (OLR). Traditional AD of Napier grass, a model lignocellulosic biomass, at an OLR of 5 g volatile solids (VS)/L/day resulted in an accumulation of total VFA concentration up to 9.2 g/L as acetic acid (HAc) equivalent, causing rapid drops in pH and methane yield, and driving the digester to the verge of failure.

Landfill aeration efficiently accelerates municipal solid waste (MSW) stabilization. This method also impacts methane (CH) and nitrous oxide (NO) emissions during aeration. In this study, the effects of three pre-aeration strategies on leachate quality variations and CH and NO emissions from three lab-scale pre-aerated semi-aerobic bioreactor landfills, which were filled with MSW, were investigated: low frequency and high frequency intermittent aeration (LIA and HIA) and continuous micro-aeration (CMA).
