The ever-increasing production of waste activated sludge (WAS) has become a widespread problem to sewage treatment plants around the world. Among the multitudinous sludge treatment methods, chemical oxidation is considered as an excellent technology with both high efficiency and low investment cost. As an eco-friendly oxidant, potassium ferrate (PF) has attracted great attention in sludge treatment over the past decade. The applications of PF have demonstrated advantages in: (1) sludge dewatering; (2) minimization; (3) anaerobic fermentation; (4) removal of pollutants. This review summarizes recent work on the effects of PF on these four aspects of facilitating sludge disposal. Meanwhile, the underlying mechanisms for the diverse applications of PF on sludge treatment are analyzed. Furthermore, the shortages and knowledge gaps on current PF oxidizing methods are discussed, and directions for further research to simultaneously enhance treatment efficiency and reduce processing cost are suggested as well.

In the single-stage partial nitritation-anammox process for high-ammonium wastewater treatment, the presence of sufficient biomass with high activity is essential. This study developed an innovative airlift inner-circulation partition bioreactor (AIPBR) with a dual-cylinder structure. During the 362 days' operation, the AIPBR exhibited robust and stable nitrogen removal performance under diverse influent ammonium spanning from 300 to 1800 mg N/L.

Most microplastics (MPs) end up in the biosolids produced in wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) and can pose contamination risks when the biosolids are applied to agriculture. This study evaluated the impact of mesophilic anaerobic digestion on the fate of MPs in WWTP sludge. For this, two laboratory-scale anaerobic digesters were operated in parallel, consisting of a continuous stirred tank reactor (CSTR) and a membrane bioreactor (AnMBR) equipped with an ultrafiltration membrane to decouple the hydraulic and sludge retention times.

Anaerobic ammonium oxidation (Anammox) has garnered significant attention due to its ability to eliminate the need for aeration and supplementary carbon sources in biological nitrogen removal process, relying on the capacity of anaerobic ammonium oxidizing bacteria (AnAOB) to directly convert ammonium and nitrite nitrogen into nitrogen gas. This review consolidates the latest advancements in AnAOB research, outlining the mechanisms and enzymatic processes of Anammox, and summarizing the molecular biological techniques used for studying AnAOB, such as 16s rRNA sequencing, qPCR, and metagenomic sequencing. Additionally, it also overviews the currently identified AnAOB species and their distinct metabolic traits, while consolidating strategies to improve their performance.
