Despite the great potential of sulfur-based autotrophic denitrification, an improvement in nitrate removal rate is still needed. This study used the desulfurized products of Mn ore to develop the MnS-S-limestone autotrophic denitrification system (MSLAD). The feasibility of MSLAD for denitrification was explored and the possible mechanism was proposed. The nitrate (100 mg/L) was almost removed within 24 h in batch experiment in MSLAD. Also, an average TN removal of 98 % (472.0 mg/L/d) at hydraulic retention time of 1.5 h in column experiment (30 mg/L) was achieved. MnS and S could act as coupled electron donors and show synergistic effects for nitrate removal. γ-MnS with smaller particle size and lower crystallinity was more readily utilized by the bacterium and had higher nitrate removal efficiency than that of α-MnS. Thiobacillus and Sulfurimonas were the core functional bacterium in denitrification. Therefore, MnS-S-limestone bio-denitrification provides an efficient alternative method for nitrate removal in wastewater.

Greywater, originating from kitchen sinks and toilets, constitutes 75-80 % of the domestic wastewater produced in homes and can be reclaimed for non-potable uses. This study synthesized novel sludge-derived aluminosilicates and alginate-polyethyleneimine (PEI) biochar composites. The aluminosilicates offer a sustainable approach to sludge management, while alginate-polyethyleneimine presents a green biochar modification approach.

The complex pollution and nutrient-poor characteristics of surface waters result in the limited ability of conventional reactors to remove pollutants. In this study, a novel modified ceramsite material, modified with trivalent iron (Fe(III)) and fulvic acid (FA) to form ceramsite@Fe(III)@FA (HC), was used for the first time as a biocarrier to immobilize strain Cupriavidus sp. W12, constructing a biofilter to enhance nitrate (NO-N) removal in micro-polluted water.

Manganese (Mn), abundant in the Earth's crust, can act as an oxidant or a reductant for diverse nitrogen biotransformation processes. However, the functional microorganisms and their metabolic pathways, as well as interactions, remain largely elusive. Here, a microbial consortium was enriched from a mixture of freshwater sediments and activated sludge by feeding ammonium, nitrate and Mn(II), which established manganese-driven co-removal of nitrate and ammonium with removal rates of 5.

Biological semi-passive mine water treatment technologies are used in the mining industry as an alternative to or in conjunction with active treatment systems to remediate mine impacted water (MIW) containing nitrate and selenium oxyanions such as selenate and selenite. In semi-passive biological treatment systems, MIW is pumped through a saturated, porous media (either a gravel bed or waste rock) which provides ample surface area for biofilm growth and the creation of anoxic, subaqueous environments. Additional nutrients and carbon sources are pumped into the system to encourage the growth of microbes that biochemically reduce selenate and selenite to insoluble reduced Se species such as selenium nanoparticles (SeNP) by respiring selenate and selenite.

With the development of cities, the issue of excess nitrate in wastewater has become increasingly severe. Electrochemical technology has garnered significant attention due to its straightforward operation and environmental sustainability. A CoO/GF cathode was successfully prepared by depositing CoO onto Graphite felt (GF) using an electrochemical deposition-calcination method.
