Article Abstract
The integration of biological nitrogen (N) removal with struvite-type material recovery, which contained phosphorus (P) and potassium (K), was proved to be technically feasible in pig slurry treatment. Phosphate (PO) salts were precipitated by raising the pH-value, using denitrified effluent and waste sludge purged from the bioreactor. When P was limiting, the unbalanced composition of the denitrified effluent resulted in low K-removal efficiency from the liquid phase; 10 % maximum when the initial pH-value was adjusted to 11.5 (93 % PO-P recovery). By processing the waste sludge in two steps, using first ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) as an acidifier to release PO while preventing calcium interference, the K-removal efficiency reached 25 % (75 % PO-P recovery). When K was limiting, the addition of newberyite particles resulted in the highest K-removal efficiency, up to 90 % (under online pH control to 10.5). Overall, new opportunities are envisaged for producing second-generation fertilizers potentially containing 0-1 % N, 11-17 % P and 6-8 % K.

With the rapid development of industrialization, the removal of heavy metal ions and small organic molecules from wastewater has triggered a hot debate. ZIF-8 was grown on a sodium alginate backbone using an in situ growth technique, the core-shell P-SMG@ZIF-8 was synthesized. It was also characterized by FTIR, XRD, SEM, UV-Vis and XPS, and the optimal conditions and mechanism of adsorption were explored.

Acesulfame potassium (ACE-K) is a widely utilized sugar substitute with increasing demand, which is frequently detected in various environmental matrix due to recalcitrance. However, a general consensus on the contribution of nitrifying and denitrifying process to ACE-K removal is lacking. Therefore, ACE-K removal, its effects on antibiotic resistant genes (ARGs) propagation and microbial community in nitrifying sequencing batch reactor (N-SBR) and denitrifying sequencing batch reactor (D-SBR) inoculated with the identical activated sludge were investigated.

The nutrient ratio in wastewater discharge has a variety of ecological impacts on aquatic ecosystems. Plant species richness and identity (the presence of certain species in the community) affected the nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), and potassium (K) removal efficiencies in constructed wetlands (CWs). However, the effects on the ratios of N/P/K are still unknown.

Knowing the nutrient removal by soybean grain harvest in different varieties, locations, and over time is essential to correctly adjust agronomic recommendations, update farmers' practices, and increase nutrient use efficiency. A field-based research trial was carried out to assess macronutrients [nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), potassium (K), magnesium (Mg), calcium (Ca), and sulfur (S)] removed in grain by modern soybean varieties from southern Brazil introduced between 2007 and 2016. We examined changes between our set of modern varieties and a dataset of historical values encompassing a wide range of varieties introduced before 2007.
