The sulfur powder as electron donor in driving dual-chamber microbial fuel cell denitrification (S) process has the advantages in economy and pollution-free to treat nitrate-contained groundwater. However, the low efficiency of electron utilization in sulfur oxidation (ACE) is the bottleneck to this method. In this study, the addition of calcined pyrite to the S system (SCP) accelerated electron generation and intra/extracellular transfer efficiency, thereby improving ACE and denitrification performance. The highest nitrate removal rate reached to 3.55 ± 0.01 mg N/L/h in SCP system, and the ACE was 103 % higher than that in S system. More importantly, calcined pyrite enhanced the enrichment of functional bacteria (Burkholderiales, Thiomonas and Sulfurovum) and functional genes which related to sulfur metabolism and electron transfer. This study was more effective in removing nitrate from groundwater without compromising the water quality.

To investigate the effect of ibuprofen (IBU) on the sulfur-based and calcined pyrite-based autotrophic denitrification (SCPAD) systems, two individual reactors with the layered filling (L-SCPAD) and mixed filling (M-SCPAD) systems were established via sulfur and calcined pyrite. Effluent NO-N concentration of the L-SCPAD and M-SCPAD systems was first increased to 6.44, 0.

Pyrite exhibits considerable potential as an adsorbent in wastewater treatment. However, few pyrite adsorbents are directly obtained from natural pyrite, as most are composite materials that require a complex preparation process. To develop a pyrite-based adsorbent with a simple preparation process, pyrite was processed by calcination at 400, 600, and 800 °C for 4 h and ball-milled into a fine powder.

The use of natural pyrite as a catalyst for the treatment of recalcitrant organic wastewater by an electro-Fenton system (pyrite-EF) has recently received extensive attention. To improve the catalytic activity of natural pyrite (Py), magnetic pyrite (MPy), and pyrrhotite (Pyr), they were obtained by heat treatment, and the nanoparticles were obtained by ball milling. They were characterized by X-ray diffraction, X-ray electron spectroscopy, and scanning electron microscopy.

Pyrite-driven autotrophic denitrification (PAD) represents a cheap and promising way for nitrogen removal from organic-limited wastewater, which has obtained increasing attention in recent years. However, the limited denitrification rate and unclear mechanism underlying the process have hindered the engineered application of PAD. This study aims to shed light on the impacts of different pretreatments (i.
