Hypersaline pickled mustard wastewater (PMW), a typical food wastewater with high nutrient content, was successfully bioremediated via the co-treatment of Chaetoceros muelleri and indigenous bacteria in this study. Chemical oxygen demand, ammonia nitrogen, total nitrogen and total phosphorus in 10 % PMW could be effectively reduced by 82 %, 90 %, 94 % and 96 %, respectively, after 12 days treatment. Oxygen species activities, malondialdehyde content, microalgal biomass, photosynthesis and extracellular polymeric substances were characterized during the treatment to determine the responses of the consortium when exposed to different concentration of PMW. Microbial community analysis demonstrated a significant increase in the relative abundance of Halomonas and Marinobacter in the 10 % PMW after 12 days treatment, which was beneficial for nutrients recycling by the diatoms. Meanwhile, C. muelleri was effective in reducing the relative abundance of potentially pathogenic bacteria Malaciobacter. In conclusion, the work here offers a promising and environmentally friendly approach for hypersaline wastewater treatment.

Article Synopsis
  • - The study examines how high osmotic pressure in pickled mustard wastewater affects methane production by anaerobic microorganisms and the potential for energy recovery through anaerobic treatment.
  • - It investigates the role of exogenous anaerobic sludge in influencing indigenous microorganisms (IM) in hypersaline environments at 3% and 5% salinity, highlighting both collaboration and competition between the two.
  • - Results show that at 3% salinity, exogenous sludge boosts performance in terms of COD reduction and biogas production, while at 5% salinity, competition leads to lower efficiency, suggesting different inoculation strategies based on salinity levels.

Studies published recently proposed that ammonia-oxidizing archaea (AOA) may be beneficial for hypersaline (salinity > 50 g NaCl L) industrial wastewater treatment. However, knowledge of AOA activity in hypersaline bioreactors is limited. This study investigated the effects of salinity, organic matter, and practical pickled mustard tuber wastewater (PMTW) on AOA and ammonia-oxidizing bacteria (AOB) in two sequencing batch biofilm reactors (SBBRs).

[Transformation of phosphorus forms in the construction process of phosphate reduction system of hypersaline and high-phosphorus wastewater].

Key Laboratory of Three Gorges Reservoir Region's Eco-Environment, Ministry of Education, Chongqing University, Chongqing 400045, China.

Transformation of phosphorus forms in the construction process of biological phosphate reduction system was discussed in treating saline and high-phosphorus pickled mustard tube wastewater to resolve problems encountered with present phosphorus removal technology. A phosphate reduction system under hypersaline condition (salinity, 7% , measured by NaCl) was successfully constructed, when the reactor was started with 3% salinity wastewater and the salinity was increased through two stages, at influent organic loading (COD) 0.45 kg x (m3 x d)(-1), phosphorus loading (PO4(3-)-P) 5.
