The composite mycelium pellet (CMP) was coupled with Pseudomonas sp. Y1 (CMP-Y1) to remove phenol and ammonia nitrogen (NH-N). The CMP was formed by the self-assembly of fungal mycelium with sponge iron (SIO), gallic acid (GA), and oxalic acid. The results showed that CMP with abundant pore size and successful internal loading of sponge iron containing iron nanoparticles. CMP could induce GA redox cycle to form Fenton-like reaction and thus achieve efficient phenol removal (93.32%, 24 h). Meanwhile, the removal efficiencies of phenol, NH-N, and chemical oxygen demand (COD) using CMP-Y1 at 12 h were 93.71, 92.40, and 89.00%, respectively. The increase in the electron transfer activity of strain Y1 by the addition of CMP could facilitate the nitrogen removal processes. In addition, high-throughput sequencing results indicated the abundance of antioxidant and repair genes was increased, which might be a strategy of strain Y1 to cope with oxidative stress. This strategy provided the possibility for the practical application of the combination of advanced oxidation and biological treatment, and offered new insights into the symbiotic system of fungi and bacteria.

The River Chief System (RCS) in China plays a crucial role in addressing transboundary water pollution (TWP), which is vital for achieving the Sustainable Development Goal of "clean water." This study examines the static and dynamic effects of the RCS on TWP using a difference-in-difference-in-differences (DDD) model and manually collected RCS data from 104 counties between 2007 and 2020. The results show that the RCS significantly reduces chemical oxygen demand (COD) by 15.

Numerous studies investigated the variation of soil ammonia oxidizing microorganisms along the geographic distance, but few highlighted the associated influence of agricultural practices on ammonia oxidizing communities and functions. To make up this gap, we determined the variation of ammonia-oxidizing archaea (AOA), bacteria (AOB), and soil nitrification within eight typical agricultural plots across China. The current study revealed significant variations in soil potential nitrification rates (PNRs) and the diversity and composition of AOA and AOB communities across various plots.

High-performance Fe-based nitrogen-doped carbon oxygen reduction catalysts have been widely reported, but the Fenton reaction faced by such catalysts has hindered their practical application in fuel cells. The development of inexpensive, effective, and durable non-Fe nitrogen-doped carbon electrocatalysts is important for advancing fuel cell technology. In this work, we have introduced a molecular coordination chemistry method to synthesize a Cu- and P-co-doped nitrogen-doped hierarchical carbon (Cu-P-N-C) oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) electrocatalyst by pyrolyzing a mixture of phytate and melamine.

The treatment of ammonia nitrogen wastewater (ANW) has garnered significant attention due to the ecology, and even biology is under increasing threat from over discharge ANW. Conventional ANW treatment methods often encounter challenges such as complex processes, high costs and secondary pollution. Considerable progress has been made in employing solar-induced evaporators for wastewater treatment.

Ammonia (NH) is the most prevalent alkaline gas in the atmosphere, with its elevated concentrations posing significant adverse impacts on air quality, ecosystems, and human health across diverse spatial and temporal scales. Given the ongoing global change and intensified anthropogenic NH emissions, it is projected that the global surface NH concentration will escalate further. Here, based on ground observations, gridded data of organic and inorganic nitrogen fertilizer applications, meteorological data, and ancillary information, we estimated changes in global monthly surface NH concentration during 2001-2019 at a 0.
