Improving degradation efficiency of activated sludge towards bisphenol A (BPA) is related to water safety. A hydrogel immobilized bacteria@metal-organic-frameworks (im-SQ-2@MOFs) was synthesized previously, which was a composite formed by metal organic frameworks adhering to BPA degrading bacteria. Accordingly, this study added im-SQ-2@MOFs as enhancer to augment the BPA degradation ability of activated sludge. Results indicated that after the addition of im-SQ-2@MOFs, the augmented activated sludge system maintained 90 % BPA degradation rate for 10 mg/L BPA. Meanwhile, the system also presented 80-97 % degradation effect for other phenolic pollutants. Augmentation mechanism was revealed through multi-omics analysis. Firstly, im-SQ-2@MOFs enriched the degradation functional microorganisms in activated sludge, and microbial communication was further prompted. Besides, organic compounds degrading enzymes were upregulated to intensify BPA hydrolysis. Furthermore, electron transfer during BPA degradation was accelerated. Results provide new perspective on the development of bio-augmented materials to improve the efficiency of sewage treatment plants. TAKE HOME MESSAGE.

Porous ceramsite, a typical water treatment material, could be potentially applied for treating acidic mining wastewater (AMW) with alkaline sources. This study aims to evaluate the treatment efficiency and mechanisms of water treatment ceramsite (WTC) derived from dredged sludge, biomass waste, and alkaline sources for neutralizing AMW. WTC with 8% CaCO was found to effectively increase the pH of AMW to 7 within 60 min, demonstrating its potential for AMW treatment.

The co-pyrolysis behaviors of sewage sludge (SS) and coal slurry (CS), including pyrolysis characteristics, kinetics, interactions, and gas emissions, were investigated using the thermogravimetric-mass spectrometry method. The interaction mechanism was revealed by investigating the effect of the pretreatment method on the interaction. The results showed that the addition of SS improved the comprehensive pyrolysis performance of CS.

This study examines the geopolymerization potential of sewage sludge ash (SSA) for immobilizing radioactive waste through a series of experimental phases. The initial phase of the study involved processing sewage sludge from three different treatment plants, followed by calcination and subsequent characterization. The initial synthesis of geopolymers was conducted using 100% SSA, followed by compressive strength testing.

Cardiovascular pharmaceuticals were extensively detected and generally coexist with their transformation products (TPs) in wastewater. However, knowledges on TPs and transformation processes for cardiovascular pharmaceuticals remained largely unclear. To fill this knowledge gap, nontarget screening combined with batch experiments were employed to reveal the transformation of five cardiovascular pharmaceuticals (atenolol, metoprolol, propranolol, bezafibrate and candesartan) in aerobic activated sludge.
