Summary: The study showed that co-composting can be a low-cost and efficient method for biodegradation of recalcitrant textile dyes and for managing textile sludge, contributing to waste recycling and environmental sustainability. The use of textile industrial sludge, sewage wastewater, or sewage sludge as microbial compost inocula in the co-composting system resulted in biodegradation efficiencies ranging from 97.2% to 99.9% for various dyes, with textile sludge showing the highest inoculum efficiency. The compost quality was assessed through a phytotoxicity test, which showed no toxicity effects on lettuce, indicating the feasibility and safety of the co-composting method.

Summary: A yeast-bioaugmented aerobic granular sludge (AGS) system was developed using a sequencing batch reactor (SBR) inoculated with activated sludge and a dye-decolorizing yeast strain-Yarrowia lipolytica (HOMOGST27AB). The AGS-SBR system effectively removed carbon and nitrogen from synthetic saline wastewater, without being affected by the reactive textile dye addition. Successful bioaugmentation with Y. lipolytica (HOMOGST27AB) was confirmed through sequencing analysis of granule samples throughout the reactor operation. The microbial profile of the AGS core microbiome showed a dynamic composition, with shifts in abundance of different bacterial phyla during different phases of the bioreactor operation.

Summary: Environmental concerns regarding industrial wastewater containing dyes have increased with industrial development. Decolorization of industrial effluents is crucial for color-free discharge. Biodegradation using laccase enzyme has emerged as a competitive method. Laccase, a green catalyst, exhibits high catalytic activity and has been extensively studied for dye remediation, but immobilization is necessary to fully utilize its potential.

Summary: The aerobic biodegradation combined with pyrite-Fenton process was found effective in treating wastewater containing various chlorophenols by reducing toxicity and improving COD removal efficiency. The type of chlorophenol treated greatly influenced the biodegradation process, with highly chlorinated CPs such as 2,4,6-TCP showing the highest toxicity. Sludge acclimation and pyrite-Fenton pre-treatment enhanced the biomass tolerance to CP toxicity and improved sCOD removal efficiencies, showcasing the potential of this combined system for effective treatment of chlorophenol-containing wastewater.

Summary: Complex dyes have a negative impact on the environment and are difficult to remove using traditional methods. A series of experiments was conducted to determine the optimal parameters for the removal of direct blue 78 dye using chemically treated coal fly ash (TCFA). A pilot plant was designed and implemented to investigate the ability of TCFA to remove pollutants from textile wastewater. Various physical and chemical analyses were conducted on the fly ash. The results showed that chemical treatment significantly improved the properties of the fly ash. Batch adsorption experiments demonstrated that TCFA was effective in removing dyes under optimal conditions.

Summary: Addition of magnetite to the activated sludge process can effectively treat dye-containing textile wastewater. The magnetite/activated sludge hybrid process showed high removal efficiency for Reactive Red 195 and chemical oxygen demand (COD). The simultaneous use of magnetite and activated sludge at certain concentrations resulted in significantly increased removal efficiency compared to activated sludge alone. The magnetite particles can be separated from the treated wastewater and activated sludge biomass by applying a magnetic field.

Summary: This study evaluates the performance of ozonation and adsorption as in-series processes compared to standalone processes for the removal of Contaminants of Emerging Concern (CECs) in drinking water. The combination of both processes proves to be more effective than adsorption and ozonation alone. Ozonation improves the adsorption performance of poorly-oxidizable CECs but worsens that of well-oxidizable compounds. This research highlights the importance of considering both processes in the removal of CECs in drinking water treatment plants.

Summary: This study focuses on the development of an air-lift bio-electrochemical reactor (ALBER) with a continuous feeding regime to enhance nitrogen removal from synthetic wastewater. The effect of temperature, hydraulic retention time (HRT), N -NH+4 /TN ratio, and current density on the reactor performance was investigated, and the ALBER achieved a maximum TN removal of 73%. The results suggest that the ALBER has potential for treating industrial wastewater at low temperatures.

Summary: The exacerbation of global warming, extreme weather events, and rapid urbanization have led to increased flooding in urban areas. China has adopted sponge city as an efficient means of preventing and controlling urban floods. Using a SWMM-FVCOM model, the hydrological reduction and control effect of sponge city construction (SPCC) within a university campus were evaluated. The study found that implementing SPCC effectively mitigates surface runoff and reduces the severity of urban flooding. However, the efficacy of runoff control decreases with longer rainfall return periods.
