Aeration is an important factor to regulate composting efficiency and nitrogen loss. This study is aimed to compare the effects of different aeration modes (continuous and intermittent) and aeration rate on nitrogen conversion and bacterial community in composting from dehydrated sludge and corn straw. Results showed that the intermittent aeration mode at same aeration volume was superior to the continuous aeration mode in terms of NH emission reduction, nitrogen conversion and germination index (GI) improvement. Intermittent aeration mode with 1200 L/h (aeration 5 min, stop 15 min) [K5T15 (V1200)] and 300 L/h of continuous aeration helped to the conservation of nitrogen fractions and accelerate the composting process. However, it was most advantageous to use 150 L/h of continuous aeration to reduce NH emission and ensure the effective composting process. The aeration mode K5T15 (V1200) showed the fastest temperature rise, the longer duration of thermophilic stage and the highest GI (95%) in composting. The cumulative NH emission of intermittent aeration mode was higher than continuous aeration mode. The cumulative NH emission of V300 was 23.1% lower than that of K5T15 (V1200). The dominant phyla in dehydrated sludge and corn straw composting were Firmicutes, Proteobacteria, Actinobacteria, and Bacteroidetes. The dominant phylum in the thermophilic stage was Firmicutes (49.39%~63.13%), and the dominant genus was (18.62%~30.16%). The relative abundance of Firmicutes was greater in the intermittent aeration mode (63.13%) than that in the continuous aeration mode (57.62%), and was dominant in composting with lower aeration rate and the lowest NH emission. This study suggested that adjustment to the aeration mode and rate could affect core bacteria to reduce the nitrogen loss and accelerate composting process.

The current research assessed the effectiveness of four hybrid constructed wetland (HCW) systems for the remediation of synthetic dye wastewater with Reactive Black 5 (RB5) azo dye. All HCW systems had identical configurations, consisting of a horizontal CW followed by a vertical CW, and operated under diverse conditions such as the presence of plants (Typha angustifolia), feeding modes (batch and continuous) and intermittent aeration (4 h day). Anaerobic-aerobic conditions simulated within the HCW systems were crucial in removing the pollutants from synthetic dye wastewater.

Operational strategies have been applied in constructed wetlands to optimize the removal of nutrients and hormones that are still a concern in wastewater treatment. The strategy of intensifying intermittent aeration was investigated in two microcosm-scale vertical-flow constructed wetlands (VFCWs) planted with Eichhornia crassipes onto autoclaved aerated concrete (AC) in the removal of nutrients, estrone (E1), 17β-estradiol (E2) and 17α-ethinylestradiol (EE2).

Article Synopsis
- High altitudes pose challenges for wastewater treatment, significantly impacting efficiency due to low air pressure, reduced oxygen levels, and cold temperatures.
- A new multi-stage baffled aerated oxidation (AO) plant was successfully tested in Xizang, where it efficiently met Chinese wastewater discharge standards even at low temperatures and higher influent loads.
- The innovative design improved nutrient removal by enhancing microbial activity and sludge quality, effectively mitigating issues like sludge bulking through a short, cyclic operation method.

Article Synopsis
- The study examined high-frequency percussive ventilation (HFPV) as a potential rescue treatment for extremely low gestational age neonates (ELGANs) suffering from severe lung disease.
- It involved a retrospective review of 16 ELGANs (average gestational age of 25 weeks and birth weight of 640 grams) who had not improved after other ventilation methods, with a noted 31% mortality rate.
- Results showed that survivors on HFPV experienced significant improvements in respiratory severity scores and oxygenation levels, indicating that HFPV could be beneficial for ELGANs with severe lung issues, especially those facing oxygenation challenges.
