A sulfur-iron coupled ecological floating bed (EFB-SFe) was developed to enhance the denitrification capability of sulfur-based ecological floating beds (EFB-S). The denitrification performance, kinetic process and microbial community composition were explored. Results showed that sulfur-iron coupling effectively enhanced the denitrification performance of EFB, surpassing the sum of their individual effects. The average total nitrogen removal rate ranged from 1.56 to 4.56 g·m·d, with a removal efficiency of 22-84 %. The k value for the S + Fe group increased from 0.04 to 0.18 d to 0.40-0.46 d relative to the S group. The sulfur-iron coupling promoted the enrichment of denitrifying bacteria (Thiobacillus and Ferritrophicum). The denitrification genes in EFB-SFe were upregulated, being 12-22 times more abundant than in EFB-S. Sulfur and iron autotrophic denitrification were identified as the main nitrogen removal processes in EFB-SFe. Overall, sulfur-iron coupling showed the potential to enhance the denitrification capacity of EFB-S for treating low-pollution water.

Non-centrifugal raw cane sugar (NRCS) is a minimally processed product from sugarcane (Saccharum officinarum L). This product contains phytochemical and nutritional compounds that benefit human health. Despite these advantages, NRCS commercialization is hindered by a lack of knowledge about its composition and, consequently, the absence of quality standards.

High‑arsenic groundwater is influenced by a combination of processes: reductive dissolution of iron minerals and formation of secondary minerals, metal complexation and redox reactions of organic matter (OM), and formation of more migratory thioarsenate, which together can lead to significant increases in arsenic concentration in groundwater. This study was conducted in a typical sulfur- and arsenic-rich groundwater site within the Datong Basin to explore the conditions of thioarsenate formation and its influence on arsenic enrichment in groundwater using HPLC-ICPMS, hydrogeochemical modeling, and fluorescence spectroscopy. The shallow aquifer exhibited a highly reducing environment, marked by elevated sulfide levels, low concentrations of Fe(II), and the highest proportion of thioarsenate.

Microorganisms in wetland groundwater play an essential role in driving global biogeochemical cycles. However, largely due to the dynamics of spatiotemporal surface water-groundwater interaction, the spatiotemporal successions of biogeochemical cycling in wetland groundwater remain poorly delineated. Herein, we investigated the seasonal coevolution of hydrogeochemical variables and microbial functional genes involved in nitrogen, carbon, sulfur, iron, and arsenic cycling in groundwater within a typical wetland, located in Poyang Lake Plain, China.

This study aimed to study the biogeochemical behaviour of sulfur and its potential impact on arsenic in farmland polluted by acid mine drainage (AMD). Soil samples were collected from paddy fields that were near arsenic-rich coal mines. Different geochemical analysis technologies, combined with the study of microbial populations, were used to analyse the enrichment and transformation characteristics of exogenous sulfur in the soil profile as well as their coupling effect with arsenic transformation.
