Summary: Biological reactors are essential in industrial applications for breaking down organic waste. This study focuses on the stability and local stability of a cascade of two continuously stirred tank reactors with Haldane growth function. The function of certain reactor parameters is derived to determine the number of critical points, allowing for the identification of parameter combinations that result in a single critical point under different bacterial removal rates. The research reveals that if the first reactor in the cascade has a single critical point for all bacterial removal rates, the next reactor will also have a single critical point. Global stability results are provided for specific cases. Additionally, simple proofs are presented for the local stability of critical points in reactors with general bacterial growth functions, bacteria and substrate input, and a death rate. Furthermore, a comparison is made between a two reactor cascade and a single reactor for the special case of zero bacteria input in the first reactor, considering various conditions such as residence times and death rates, following the pattern of previous studies using Monod and Contois growth functions.

Summary: In this study, a highly efficient natural PHE-degrading microbial consortium HJ-SH was isolated from soil contaminated with PHE. The consortium showed a degradation efficiency higher than any other natural or engineered strains reported so far. Seven dominant strains were identified from the consortium, and one strain, SH-4, showed the strongest PHE degradation ability. The consortium exhibited high tolerance for PHE and was capable of degrading other organic pollutants as well. An artificial consortium HJ-7 was constructed, which outperformed the natural consortium HJ-SH in terms of reproducibility, application stability, and modification potential.

Summary: The widespread presence of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in marine sediments has ecological and human health implications. Sediment washing (SW) has been found to be an effective remediation approach for PAH-polluted sediments, but concerns about waste handling remain. This study investigated the biological treatment of a synthetic PAH-polluted SW solution using a continuous-flow stirred-tank reactor. The results showed that a PHE removal efficiency of up to 75-94% was achieved, mainly through biodegradation by a PHE-degrading consortium composed of Proteobacteria, Bacteroidota, and Firmicutes phyla.

Summary: Hospital wastewater is rich in pharmaceutically active compounds (PhACs), which can end up in the environment due to the lack of effective treatments. White rot fungi, specifically Trametes versicolor, have shown to be an effective solution for this problem. Immobilizing the fungi in a lignocellulosic substrate has proved successful in treating wastewater. Two types of bioreactors, stirred tank and trickle-bed, were used in this study to treat synthetic and real hospital wastewater with T. versicolor. The trickle-bed bioreactor showed promising results in removing pharmaceuticals and detoxifying real wastewater.

Summary: Layered double hydroxides (LDHs) containing Mg:Al (molar ratio 3:1) were synthesized and characterized for their potential application as eco-friendly adsorbents for diclofenac removal from wastewater. The results showed efficient adsorption of diclofenac onto LDHs, with the main mechanism being anion exchange between layers. Thermodynamic studies indicated spontaneous and endothermic adsorption, with increasing randomness at the solid/solution surface. However, long-term stability of the material was limited, and calcination was required to improve its resistance for continuous operation.

Summary: This study used carbonaceous aerogel pellets as adsorbents to remove ionisable drugs from aqueous solution through conventional adsorption. The presence of multiple drugs in the solution led to a depletion of the adsorbed total mass. Therefore, the authors proposed enhancing the traditional adsorption process with an electric field to improve the adsorption capacity of fluoxetine to the aerogel. The effect of the water matrix on the process was also analyzed, and it was found that the effluent treated water achieved the complete removal of all pollutants.

CuFe(BDC-NH2)(D) and CuFe(BDC-NH2)(S) exhibited improved PMS activation for Rhodamine B removal, achieving a removal rate of around 92%. The best degradation system for a mixture of antibiotic and anti-inflammatory drugs was the photo-assisted activation of PMS using CuFe(BDC-NH2)(D) and CuFe(BDC-NH2)(S), resulting in complete degradation within 1 hour. CuFe(BDC-NH2)(R)/PMS showed higher antibacterial activity due to its higher copper content.

Summary: This study investigated the impact of the non-antibiotic pharmaceutical carbamazepine on antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) during anaerobic digestion. The results showed that carbamazepine induced the enrichment of ARGs and increased the abundance of bacteria carrying these genes. It also facilitated microbial aggregation and intercellular communication, leading to an increased frequency of ARGs transmission. Moreover, carbamazepine promoted the acquisition of ARGs by pathogens and elevated their overall abundance.

Summary: This paper developed a machine learning model to predict the biochemical methane potential during anaerobic digestion. Model analysis identified lignin content, organic loading, and nitrogen content as key attributes for methane production prediction. For feedstocks with high cellulose content, early methane production is lower but can be improved by prolonging digestion time. Moreover, lignin content exceeding a certain value significantly inhibits methane production.
