The present work designs a low-cost biological treatment strategy consisting of constructed wetlands (CWs) followed by entrapped algae (EA) for removing nutrients (PO, NO, and NH) and organic matters from high-strength wastewater. The CWs are efficient means for organic pollutant removal but face challenges in nutrient removal. Algae have a high growth rate and nutrient uptake capabilities from wastewater. The severe challenge that limits the use of algae for nutrient removal from wastewater is its post-treatment separation from wastewater. This work presents a strategy to address the described problems of CWs and algae-based system. It also assesses the performance of the system using synthetic wastewater. A combined system of CW followed by EA (CW-EA) was able to treat 86.0% of phosphate, 95.0% of nitrate, 74.0% of ammonium, and 87.0% of chemical oxygen demand (COD) from high-strength wastewater.

Anammox coupled partial S-driven autotrophic denitrification (PSAD) technology represents an innovative approach for removing nitrogen from wastewater. The research highlighted the crucial role of biofilm on sulfur particles in the nitrogen removal process. Further analysis revealed that sulfur-oxidizing bacteria (SOB) are primarily distributed in the inner layer of the biofilm, while anammox bacteria (AnAOB) are relatively evenly distributed in inner and outer layers, with Thiobacillus and Candidatus Brocadia being the dominant species, respectively.

Anthraquinone-2,6-disulfonate (AQDS) and activated carbon (AC) were employed as exogenous electron shuttles (ESs) for enhancing the performance of an integrated simultaneous methanogenesis, Feammox, and denitrification (SMFD) system treating fish sludge. The addition of AQDS and AC led to an increased total nitrogen removal efficiency by 30.2 % and 66.

Article Synopsis
- - A novel biocarrier made from biochar and tourmaline polyurethane (BTP) enhanced the growth and nitrogen removal efficiency of Anammox bacteria, achieving an impressive 80% total inorganic nitrogen removal compared to 67% with an unmodified biocarrier.
- - The BTP system increased the abundance of genes related to amino acid synthesis and boosted protein secretion in extracellular polymer substances, which are crucial for biofilm formation and function.
- - Using BTP also improved key metabolic functions in AnAOB, such as heme concentration and specific anammox activity, while Candidatus Brocadia was identified as the dominant genus in the biofilm, which contributed to the enhanced nitrogen removal capabilities.

In this study, a combined system consisting of an anaerobic membrane bioreactor (AnMBR) and flow-through biofilm reactor/CANON (FTBR/CANON) was developed to simultaneously remove carbon and nitrogen from synthetic livestock wastewater. The average removal efficiencies of total nitrogen (TN) were 64.2 and 76.
