In the process of sewage treatment, the sewage usually needs to be aerated, so the oxygenation efficiency is an important indicator for the aerator. The general oxygenation technique is to inject large amount of natural air into the aeration tank over long time, which has lower efficiency and leads to dramatic waste of energy. Based on the gas-liquid fusion mass transfer model and combined the oxygen enrichment mechanism by magnetization of the gas into the aerator, a novel method to improve the efficiency of wastewater oxygenation is proposed. This method is based on the fact that oxygen and nitrogen exhibit completely different magnetic characteristics in gradient magnetic fields, and then the special shaped permanent magnets can be used to build a target gradient magnetic field to increase the oxygen content as the gas is injected into the sewage by the aerator, which reaches the oxygenation enhancement effect. Through theoretical analysis and experiments, it is concluded that the efficiency of sewage oxygenation treatment is dramatically improved with the permanent magnet oxygen enrichment technique.

This study presents the design and performance of microbial fuel cells (MFCs) utilizing sewage water as a renewable source for electricity generation. The proposed MFCs employ an air-cathode, single-chamber configuration that harnesses atmospheric oxygen as the electron acceptor, eliminating the need for consumable electron acceptor chemicals. Unlike traditional systems, no external microorganisms are introduced; instead, indigenous microbial communities present in sewage are utilized as efficient biocatalysts.

Water pollution control agencies worldwide face the complex challenge of ensuring the efficient operation of sewage treatment plants (STPs) to protect water bodies receiving their effluent as well as for reuse. However, evaluating the performance of these plants is difficult due to multiple criteria involved. Further, while previous studies have focused on evaluating the efficiency of individual plants, it remains unclear how the effluent quality of STPs affect the water quality of receiving bodies without relying on the complex simulation-optimization models (such as waste load allocation) to understand the cause-and-effect relationships.

Petrochemical wastewater is one of the main wastewater types at petrochemical refineries and possesses high oil and suspended solid (SS) contents and exhibits high chemical oxygen demands (COD). Moreover, the petrochemical wastewater concentration fluctuates considerably. Because of their time-consuming processes, high energy and chemical consumptions, and production of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and hazardous waste scum, traditional petrochemical sewage treatments, such as gravity sedimentation, electrochemical demulsification, and two-stage air flotation, are becoming unable to satisfy the demands for the green and efficient treatment of petrochemical sewage.
