As an important raw material for the synthesis of chemical and pharmaceutical, hazardous carcinogen p-chloronitrobenzene (p-CNB) has been widely found in high-salinity wastewater which need to be treated carefully. Due to the high-salinity shock on microorganisms, conventional microbial treatment technologies usually show poor effluent quality. This study initially investigated the p-CNB removal performance of microorganisms stimulated by 1.2 V low-voltage in high-salinity wastewater under facultative anaerobic conditions and further revealed the enhanced mechanisms. The results showed that the p-CNB removal kinetic parameter k in the electrostimulating microorganism reactor (EMR) increased by 104.37 % to 155.30 % compared to the microorganism reactor (MR) as the control group under the varying salinities (0-45 g/L NaCl). The secretion of extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) in halotolerant microorganisms mainly enhanced by 1.2 V voltage stimulation ranging from 0 g/L NaCl to 30 g/L NaCl. Protein concentration ratio of EMR to MR in loosely bound EPS achieved maximum value of 1.77 at the salinity of 15 g/L NaCl, and the same ratio in tightly bound EPS also peaked at 1.39 under the salinity of 30 g/L NaCl. At the salinity of 45 g/L NaCl, 1.2 V voltage stimulation mainly enhanced salt-in strategy of halotolerant microorganisms, and the intracellular Na and K concentration ratio of EMR to MR reached maximum and minimum values of 0.65 and 1.92, respectively. Furthermore, the results of microbial metagenomic and metatranscriptomic analysis showed the halotolerant microorganisms Pseudomonas_A and Nitratireductor with p-CNB removal ability were enriched significantly under 1.2 V voltage stimulation. And the gene expression of p-CNB removal, salt-in strategy and betaine transporter were enhanced under voltage stimulation at varying salinities. Our investigation provided a new solution which combined with 1.2 V voltage stimulation and halotolerant microorganisms for the treatment of high-salinity wastewater.

Article Synopsis
- A new aerogel called nZVI@UiO-66-NH/TCNF was developed for effectively degrading p-chloronitrobenzene (p-CNB) through an innovative combination of nZVI, UiO-66-NH, and bio-based cellulose nanofibers (TCNF).
- The aerogel demonstrated over 85% degradation efficiency within 3 hours and achieved nearly total removal (99.83%) of p-CNB after 24 hours, showing superior performance compared to other aerogels.
- Key factors contributing to this success include improved mass transfer due to TCNF's porous structure and enhanced interaction between p-CNB and UiO-66-NH, which facilitate electron transfer

The consistent presence of p-chloronitrobenzene (p-CNB) in groundwater has raised concerns regarding its potential harm. In this study, we developed a biocathode-anode cascade system in a permeable reactive barrier (BACP), integrating biological electrochemical system (BES) with permeable reactive barrier (PRB), to address the degradation of p-CNB in the groundwater. BACP efficiently accelerated the formation of biofilms on both the anode and cathode using the polar periodical reversal method, proving more conducive to biofilm development.

The membrane biofilm reactor (MBfR) is a novel wastewater treatment technology, garnering attention due to its high gas utilization rate and effective pollutant removal capability. This paper outlines the working mechanism, advantages, and disadvantages of MBfR, and the denitrification pathways, assessing the efficacy of MBfR in removing oxidized pollutants (sulfate (SO), perchlorate (ClO)), heavy metal ions (chromates (Cr(VI)), selenates (Se(VI))), and organic pollutants (tetracycline (TC), p-chloronitrobenzene (p-CNB)), and delves into the role of related microorganisms. Specifically, through the addition of nitrates (NO), this paper analyzes its impact on the removal efficiency of other pollutants and explores the changes in microbial communities.

Article Synopsis
- Anaerobic biotechnology is a leading method for wastewater treatment, but it faces issues such as high substrate use and stability concerns.
- Mackinawite nanoparticles (FeS NPs) were tested as electron donors in a coupled system for reducing p-chloronitrobenzene (p-CNB), achieving a removal efficiency of 78.3%, which is significantly higher than other control systems.
- The findings suggest that FeS NPs enhance electron transfer efficiency through improved conductivity and bacterium activity, with the optimum operating conditions revealing over 94% removal of p-CNB with specific concentration and hydraulic retention time.
