Organics,sulfide and nitrogen compounds in industrial wastewater are significant challenges for wastewater treatment. These pollutants could be removed simultaneously from wastewater treatment system using biological technologies. In this study, a heterotrophic denitrifying sulfur bacterial strain HDD1 was isolated from wastewater treatment bioreactor. Strain HDD1 was identified as sp. based on the 16S rRNA gene phylogenetic analysis and physiological characteristics. Acetate and sulfide could be utilized as electron donors and nitrate as electron acceptor for respiration in sp. HDD1. The acetate (300 mg·L), sulfide (200 mg·L) and nitrate (487 mg·L) were completely metabolized and removed within 15 hours. The main product of sulfide oxidation was elemental sulfur as identified by scanning electron microscope and energy dispersive spectrometer. These results suggest that the newly isolated sp. HDD1 could be used for simultaneous industrial wastewater treatment and elemental sulfur resource recovery.

Residual antimicrobial agents in wastewater and solid waste from antimicrobial manufacturing facilities can potentially contaminate environments. The World Health Organization has established technical guidelines for managing antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in pharmaceutical wastewater and solid waste. However, the scarcity of publicly available data on antimicrobial manufacturing processes impedes the development of effective mitigation strategies.

Introduction: The establishment of a high-throughput quantification approach for waterborne pathogenic protozoa and helminths is crucial for rapid screening and health risk assessment.
Methods: We developed a high-throughput quantitative polymerase chain reaction (HT-qPCR) assay targeting 19 waterborne protozoa and 3 waterborne helminths and validated its sensitivity, specificity, and repeatability. The assay was then applied to test various environmental media samples.

Although the treatment of sludge with free nitrous acid can effectively recover short chain fatty acids, the feasibility of sequential nitrite reduction and methane recovery without acidic pH adjustment is still scarcely studied. Therefore, this study aimed to provide insights into the effect of nitrite at different levels on nitrite reduction and methane production. The results showed that the nitrite concentrations of 100, 200, 400 and 800 mg/L were completely reduced in 1, 2, 2 and 4 days, respectively.

Pickering emulsions (PEs) have demonstrated significant potential in various fields, including catalysis, biomedical applications, and food science, with notable advancements in wastewater treatment through photocatalysis. This study explores the development and application of TiO-poly(-isopropylacrylamide) (pNIPAm) composite gels as a novel framework for photocatalytic wastewater remediation. The research focuses on overcoming challenges associated with conventional nanoparticle-based photocatalytic systems, such as agglomeration and inefficient recovery of particles.
