Due to the inhibition of nitrification from aniline toxicity, exogenous N-acyl-homoserine lactones (AHLs) addition was attempted to enhance nitrogen removal in this work. Two sequencing batch biofilm reactors (SBBRs): S1 (the control) and S2 (C6-HSL and 3-oxo-C8-HSL dosing) were used to treat aniline wastewater. The NH-N and TN removal rates of S2 were 42.50% and 26.99% higher than S1 in the aerobic phase, respectively. It revealed the nitrogen removal performance of S2 much better than S1. High-throughput sequencing results indicated that many nitrifiers and denitrifiers of S2, such as Nitrosomonas and Thauera, transferred from sludge to biofilm significantly and built closer relationships each other. Overall, main nitrogen removal was contributed by biofilm rather than sludge with the regulation of AHLs. A mild and collaborative environment of biofilms for microorganisms enhanced nitrogen removal. The work provided a new idea for reconciling the contradiction between nitrification and denitrification in aniline wastewater treatment.

Thiocyanate (SCN) is a highly toxic reducing inorganic compound commonly found in various nitrogen-rich wastewater and is also a promising electron donor for mixotrophic denitrification. However, its extent of involvement in mixotrophic denitrification under conditions of carbon limitation or excess remains unclear. In this study, five reactors were constructed to investigate the participation and microbial mechanisms of SCN in mixotrophic denitrification under high C/N and low C/N conditions.

The control of internal pollution was important throughout the restoration of the lake, especially the removal of sediment internal nitrogen. Experiments involving incubation were conducted in this study to investigate the effects of iron remediation on nitrogen in both water and sediment. Adding iron with varying dosage had different effects on the nutrients content and other properties of water and sediment in remediation.

Conjugation of short-chain fatty acids (SDFAs) to amines containing ring structures allows for better measurement by liquid chromatography tandem mass spectroscopy (LC-MS/MS). However, collision-induced dissociation (CID) results in breaking the conjugate back to the original SCFA and amine. We therefore set out to find an amine that would remain on the SCFA after CID and create a unique daughter for selectivity of measurement.

This study investigated the impacts of spring runoff on the formation of halobenzoquinones (HBQs) and their correlation with common water quality parameters (WQPs) and aromatic amino acids (AAs) in source water. Source water and treated water samples were collected at two drinking water treatment plants in 2021, 2022, and 2023. HBQs and aromatic AAs were analyzed using solid phase extraction with high performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry methods.

Iron-carbon (Fe-C) based biofilters have shown significant advantages in treating mariculture wastewater by facilitating the mixotrophic heterotrophic nitrification-aerobic denitrification (HNAD) process. However, the effects of Fe-C materials and varying carbon-to-nitrogen (C/N) ratios on N removal and C reduction performance remain insufficiently explored. This study demonstrated that the Fe-C biofilter (R-Fe) achieved significantly higher NO-N removal efficiency (65.
