Sludge lysate is an unavoidable and refractory liquid produced from the waste activated sludge hydrothermal pyrolysis, which contains plenty of hazardous refractory organic compounds and value-added organic resources. Here, the proof of concept for an integrated strategy that couples technically compatible pretreatment to microbial electrolysis assisted AD (ME-AD) system is investigated for sludge lysate treatment and resource recovery. The pretreatment process shows a positive effectiveness on the ME-AD by reducing the organic load and inhibitory matters, which promote the residual refractory organic compounds (Maillard reaction products and humic acid-like substances) and carbon sources further biodegradation and bio-transformation. Combining membrane separation with ME-AD increased not only both the yield and purity of methane to 268.76 mL CH/g COD and 98%, respectively, but also the recovery of 70.0~82.4% crude proteins (9.1 ± 0.5 g/L) from sludge lysate. Alternatively, the alkaline precipitation combined with ME-AD enhanced the recovery efficiency of short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs). The visible decreasing in the unpleasant color of the effluents was observed, implying that the degradation of harmful refractory organic was almost eliminated in sludge lysate. This strategy is worthy to be developed in WWTP for sludge lysate treatment with considerable bio-resources recovery and refractory organics removal.

Bacteriophages (phages) are viruses that infect bacteria and are the most abundant biological entity on the planet. Phages have gained popularity as an alternative to antibiotics due to their specificity and ability to efficiently lyse antimicrobial resistant bacterial pathogens. Before using phages, they must be isolated from the environment and tested to ensure purity and lytic ability against various hosts.

Sludge reduction is a critical challenge in biological wastewater treatment. Combining excess sludge slurry lysis technology with traditional activated sludge processes is a promising approach for in-situ sludge reduction. Here, a strategy for excess sludge slurry lysis based on thermophilic bacterial communities (LTBC) was proposed.

Sludge reduction is a major challenge in biological wastewater treatment. Hydrolytic enzymes secreted by thermophilic bacteria can lyse sludge and thus achieve sludge reduction, and the indigenous thermophilic community in sludge can lyse sludge more effectively. In this study, the feasibility of combining a sludge lysis reactor based on thermophilic bacteria community (LTBC reactor, 75 °C) with a conventional sequencing batch activated sludge reactor (SBR) for sludge reduction (i.

The widespread of tetracycline (TC) residues in anthropogenic and natural environments pose an immediate threat to public health. Herein, we established the TET-Yeasate, an approach based on whole-cell lysate of engineered yeast, to mitigate the TC contamination in environment. The TET-Yeasate is defined as the biological matrix of whole cell lysate from engineered yeast that containing TC-degradative components (Tet(X), NADPH, Mg) and protective macromolecules.
