The fields in the process model of activated sludge, the characteristics and species of microbial communities, dynamics and mechanism in the process, the influence of different xenobiotics on activated sludge, anaerobic digestion on waste activated sludge, and design and operation for activated sludge are reviewed in 2018. Contrast with the past reviews, several new highlights such as waste activated sludge treatment, antibiotic and heavy-metal xenobiotic, and pretreatment for anaerobic digestion are mentioned in 2018, which indicated that the research tendency of activated sludge from wastewater treatment to waste sludge treatment in the retrieved literature is developing. PRACTITIONER POINTS: None.

Automatic visual detection of activated sludge microorganisms based on microscopic phase contrast image optimisation and deep learning.

The types and quantities of microorganisms in activated sludge are directly related to the stability and efficiency of sewage treatment systems. This paper proposes a sludge microorganism detection method based on microscopic phase contrast image optimisation and deep learning. Firstly, a dataset containing eight types of microorganisms is constructed, and an augmentation strategy based on single and multisamples processing is designed to address the issues of sample deficiency and uneven distribution.

To solve the problem of low chemical oxygen demand (COD)/N and poor efficiency of single-stage sequencing batch reactor (SBR) or anoxic/oxic process (A/O) in treatment of digested effluent of swine wastewater, combined SBR-A/O and A/O-SBR processes were employed in the addition ratios of 0, 10%, 30%, and 40% (V/V)) of raw swine wastewater (RS). Analysis of pollutants removal performance of SBR-A/O and A/O-SBR systems showed no significant difference between the two systems without RS addition. However, after adding RS, the pollutants removal efficiency of the two systems increased with the increase in the ratio of RS, with SBR-A/O system presenting better pollutants removal performance than A/O-SBR system.

Continuous cropping has emerged as a significant challenge affecting yield and quality in greenhouse strawberries, particularly as the cultivation of strawberries as a protected crop continues to increase. To address this issue, substrates with 0 or 2 years of continuous cropping were fertilized with two types of organic materials: vermicompost derived from either sludge or cattle manure. A control group consisted of substrate without the addition of vermicompost.

This study evaluates the efficacy of garbage enzyme (GE) in bioremediation to reduce pollutants in sewage drains that discharge into the natural streams and rivers. Garbage enzyme is prepared with help of brown sugar, fruit, vegetable wastes, and water in the proportion 1:3:10 (by weight), which is then applied to the samples collected from various drainage sites in Jaunpur district, Uttar Pradesh, India. Different concentrations of GE (ranging from 0% to 20%) are mixed with sewage to assess pollution reduction.

Background: Despite being recognised as a global problem, our understanding of human-mediated antimicrobial resistance (AMR) spread to remote regions of the world is limited. Antarctica, often referred to as "the last great wilderness", is experiencing increasing levels of human visitation through tourism and expansion of national scientific operations. Therefore, it is critical to assess the impact that these itinerant visitors have on the natural environment.
