The aim of this work was to study the effects of the magnetic microparticles (MMP) on nitrogen removal under low C/N conditions. A 30-day anaerobic/oxic progress illustrated that nitrification and denitrification were promoted in the presence of MMP. MMP could facilitate the production of extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) and act as pH buffering in aerobic conditions. The high-throughput sequencing displayed that, compared with the sludge without MMP, the relative abundance of Dokdonella and Comamonas which are capable of both nitrifying and denitrifying were 8.7% and 1.29% higher in anaerobic sludge and 7.11% and 0.97% higher in aerobic sludge with MMP, respectively. The relative abundance of Pseudomonas with the excellent capability of EPS secretion was also observed 4.33 times higher than that without MMP in the aerobic sludge. Based on the superior performance above, MMP is a promising additive to enhance nitrogen removal efficiency for low C/N wastewater.

The addition of hydrogen to nitrogen facilitates the formation of nitride phases in the plasma nitriding processes of stainless steels, though it also induces the deterioration of their mechanical properties. This study presents a hydrogen-free plasma nitriding process for fabricating a nitrogen-expanded austenite phase (γ) on an AISI 316 stainless steel surface. The steel substrate was nitrided in N-Ar plasma with various gas compositions discharged by radio frequency (RF) and direct current (DC) modes.

Despite growing attention to the environmental pollution caused by tire wear particles (TWPs), the effects of pristine and photoaged TWPs (P-TWPs and A-TWPs) and their TWP leachates (TWPLs; P-TWPL and A-TWPL) on key nitrogen removal processes in estuarine sediments remain unclear. This study explores the responses of the denitrification rate, anammox rate, and nitrous oxide (NO) accumulation to P-TWP, A-TWP, P-TWPL, and A-TWPL exposure in estuarine sediments, and assesses the potential biotoxic substances present in TWPLs. P-TWPs reduced the denitrification rate by 17.

Metabolic studies of Ogataea polymorpha using nine different corn steep liquors.

Background: In the fermentation industry, the demand to replace expensive complex media components is increasing for alternative nutrient sources derived from waste or side streams, such as corn steep liquor (CSL). However, the use of CSL is associated with common problems of side products, such as batch-to-batch variations and compositional inconsistencies. In this study, to detect batch-to-batch variations in CSL for Ogataea polymorpha cultivations, a "fingerprinting" system was developed by employing the Respiration Activity Monitoring System designed for shake flasks (RAMOS) and 96-well microtiter plates (µTOM).

The essential shortcoming of rapid passivation deactivation limits the efficient application of nano zero-valent iron (nZVI) in eliminating disinfection byproducts from drinking water. Copper-coated nano zero-valent iron (Cu-nZVI) bimetallic composites were synthesized to efficiently activate persulfate (PS) to remove nitrosopyrrolidine (NPYR). By introducing Cu-coated coatings, nZVI is protected from direct contact with PS; thus, Cu-nZVI appears to activate PS efficiently and stably without rapid deactivation.
