Lack of good management practice of chicken slaughterhouse wastewater (CSWW) has caused pollution into water bodies. In this study, the potential of seed sludge acclimatised modified synthetic wastewater (MSWW) on bioreactor performance and energy recovery of CSWW treatment was investigated. Two sets of upflow anaerobic sludge blanket (UASB) reactors were employed. The seed sludge in UASB 2 was acclimatised with MSWW for 30 days. In UASB 1, no acclimatisation process was undertaken on seed sludge for control purposes. After the acclimatisation process of UASB 2, both reactors were supplied with CSWW under the same condition of organic loading rate (OLR = 0.5 to 6 gCOD/L/d) and mesophilic condition (37 °C). COD removal efficiencies of UASB 2 were >80% all through the steady-state of the OLR applied. Meanwhile, a drastic decrease in overall performance was observed in UASB 1 when the OLR was increased to 3, 4, 5, and 6 gCOD/L/d. Energy recovery from laboratory scale and projected value from commercial-scale bioreactor were 0.056 kWh and 790.49 kWh per day, respectively. Preliminary design of an on-site commercial-scale anaerobic reactor was proposed at a capacity of 60 m.

Due to a lack of high-quality water, farmers have been compelled to use sewage water for irrigation, contaminating agricultural soils with multiple heavy metals. For the remediation of contaminated soil, plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR), pressmud (PM), and iron (III) oxide were used to improve the growth and phytostabilization potential of chickpea grown in contaminated soil. Contaminated soil was collected from a nearby field, receiving sewage and factory water over the last 60 years.

Article Synopsis
- - The study evaluates the safety of using thermochemically treated sewage sludge from a distillery's wastewater treatment plant as a soil additive by examining its physicochemical properties and the bioaccumulation of heavy metals in maize.
- - Pyrolysis at 400 °C alters the sludge's characteristics positively, increasing pH, carbon, nitrogen, and ash content, while reducing electrical conductivity, cation exchange capacity, and harmful polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons.
- - Results show that adding 1% biochar from the treated sludge improves soil properties and doesn't enhance heavy metal uptake in maize or affect cress seed germination, though it does impact the soil's microbial community.

The scarcity of seed sludge poses a significant barrier to the advancement of anaerobic ammonia oxidation (anammox) process. In this investigation, two alternative sludge (anaerobic granular sludge (AGS) and activated flocculent sludge (AFS)) were employed to start up the anammox process in internal circulation (IC) reactors with the hydroxyapatite (HAP) strategy. Both reactors achieved rapid start-up on days 83 and 53, respectively.

Article Synopsis
- * Results indicated that DOM content peaked at 260 °C, with significant concentrations of chemical oxygen demand and nutrients, and highlighted temperature's role in altering fluorescent components within DOM.
- * Wheat seed germination experiments showed that lower temperatures (<260 °C) inhibited root growth, while higher temperatures (340 °C) significantly impaired seed growth, linking temperature variations in DOM to phytotoxicity and seed germination issues.
