This study introduced two deep eutectic solvents, ChCl/oxalic acid (CO) and ChCl/ethylene glycol (CE), into a 34-day co-composting process of distillery sludge and distiller's grains waste to address challenges related to NH emissions. The addition of DES increased dissolved organic carbon by 68% to 92%, offering more utilizable carbon for microorganisms. SYTO9/PI staining and enzyme activity tests showed the CE group had higher bacterial activity and metabolic levels during the thermophilic phase than the control. Bacterial community analysis revealed that early dominance of Lactobacillus and Lysinibacillus in CE accelerated the onset of the thermophilic phase, reduced pile pH, and significantly decreased urease production by reducing Ureibacillus. Consequently, CE treatment substantially dropped NH emissions by 73% and nitrogen loss by 54%. Besides, CE fostered a more abundant functional microbial community during the cooling and maturation phases, enhancing deep degradation and humification of organic matter.

Microbial community coalescence is a ubiquitous ecological process in various ecosystems. However, limited research has addressed the effects of the coalescence on microbial ecological processes and network structure, particularly in the context of sewage discharge during high amplitude hydrological periods. Employing 16S rRNA sequencing and species source tracking analysis, we investigated the coalescence pattern of bacterioplankton in the Chishui river and sewage across various hydrological periods.

Article Synopsis
- - The study evaluates the safety of using thermochemically treated sewage sludge from a distillery's wastewater treatment plant as a soil additive by examining its physicochemical properties and the bioaccumulation of heavy metals in maize.
- - Pyrolysis at 400 °C alters the sludge's characteristics positively, increasing pH, carbon, nitrogen, and ash content, while reducing electrical conductivity, cation exchange capacity, and harmful polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons.
- - Results show that adding 1% biochar from the treated sludge improves soil properties and doesn't enhance heavy metal uptake in maize or affect cress seed germination, though it does impact the soil's microbial community.

Article Synopsis
- - Aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) is a highly toxic substance that poses serious health risks to poultry, prompting concerns in the industry, while distillery yeast sludge (DS) is a nutrient-rich byproduct often discarded as waste.
- - A study involved feeding 360 broiler chicks different levels of AFB1 and DS for 42 days to assess their effects on growth, organ health, and immune response.
- - Results showed that DS supplementation helped reduce oxidative stress and immune issues caused by lower doses of AFB1 (100 and 200 µg/kg), but did not significantly alleviate problems at the highest dose (600 µg/kg), indicating a need for further research on optimal AFB1 to DS

This study addresses the pressing environmental concerns associated with the rapidly growing distillery industry, which is a significant contributor to wastewater generation. By focusing on the treatment of distillery wastewater using anaerobic digestion, this research explores the potential to convert organic materials into biofuels (methane). Moreover, the study aims to recover both methane and phosphorus from distillery wastewater in a single anaerobic reactor, which represents a novel and unexplored approach.
