Summary: Textile wastewater treatment using constructed wetlands is challenging due to the high intensity of color and COD values. The study found that the length of flow slightly affected the performance of wetland reactors for color and COD removal, emphasizing the need for the development of proper design parameters for effective wastewater treatment.

Summary: This study demonstrated that bioaugmentation with a newly enriched electroactive bacterial community DC5 significantly improved the performance of the HSCW-MFC system treating textile dye wastewater, resulting in enhanced COD and ADMI removal rates as well as an increased maximum power density. Genera such as Exiguobacterium, Desulfovibrio, and Macellibacteroides played significant roles in the improved efficiency of the system.

Summary: Consortium FIP autonomously degrades Orange 3R with a higher elimination rate than individual plant systems. The consortium expresses a variety of oxidoreductase enzymes during Orange 3R degradation, successfully mineralizing it into metabolites. Toxicity assessment on the HepG2 cell line showed a reduction in the toxic nature of Orange 3R after phyto-treatment with consortium FIP.

Summary: This study investigated the influence of dye concentration on the performance of the membrane distillation process. The results showed that an increase in dye concentration led to a decrease in permeate flux, but the color rejection rate remained above 98%. The fouling factor was higher for disperse dye, but the membrane demonstrated good resistance to high concentration solutions, indicating the efficiency and feasibility of membrane distillation in the recovery of textile wastewater.

Summary: The performance and design of a tidal flow constructed wetland (TFCW) for wastewater treatment were studied through a nine-month field trial and process modelling. The TFCW demonstrated effective removal of pollutants and pH reduction. The modelling accurately predicted water flow processes and identified defects in the treatment wetland.

Summary: This study investigated the monitoring and assessment of multiple constructed vertical flow wetlands (CVFWs) treating textile dye wastewater. The results showed that Dracaena plants efficiently removed contaminants like dye, COD, NH4+-N, and PO43--P from the wastewater under varying inlet dye concentrations, with the efficiency depending on meteorological conditions. The study also validated the suitability of Dracaena plants for textile wastewater treatment based on their ability to accumulate elements and oxides without any negative effects on their health.

Summary: The lipid-accumulating and cold-adapted oleaginous yeast consortium MG-Y-SH showed higher saturated fatty acid content and lower polyunsaturated fatty acid content compared to jatropha oil. It demonstrated efficient decolorization of dyes and the capability to convert toxic compounds into non-toxic metabolites, making it a promising candidate for biodiesel production and environmental remediation in cold environments.

Summary: This study reported the pollutant removal performance of two on-site wastewater treatment configurations, namely a field-scale bioreactor septic tank and a combined pilot-scale bioreactor septic tank. The pilot-scale bioreactor septic tank showed better removal performance, with a floating constructed wetland providing additional treatment as a polishing stage.
