Summary: This study investigated the nitrogen removal mechanisms during swine manure anaerobic digestion and the effects of biogas circulation and activated carbon addition. The methane yield was increased by 25.9%, 22.3%, and 44.1% with biogas circulation, activated carbon addition, and their combination, respectively. Nitrification-denitrification was found to be the dominant ammonia removal pathway in all digesters, while anammox did not occur. Biogas circulation promoted mass transfer and enriched nitrification and denitrification bacteria and functional genes, while activated carbon facilitated ammonia removal as an electron shuttle. The combined strategies significantly reduced total ammonia nitrogen by 23.6%.

Summary: The study compared the effectiveness of chemically enhanced primary treatment (CEPT) with conventional primary sedimentation alone in reducing antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) and intI1 in wastewater from a wastewater treatment plant (WWTP). CEPT significantly reduced the absolute abundance of ARGs and intI1, along with a 90% reduction in turbidity. Increasing coagulants' doses improved the reduction of ARGs and intI1, with turbidity or total phosphorus (T-P) identified as suitable indicators linked to variations in ARGs abundance during CEPT. This research suggests that CEPT shows promise in controlling the flow of ARGs into WWTPs.

Summary: The major triggers of nitrous oxide (N2O) production in a full-scale wastewater treatment plant were investigated based on seasonal monitoring and analysis, revealing that N2O emissions during nitrification were related to nitrite accumulation, temperature, ammonia loading rate, and the specific oxygen uptake rate ratio between ammonia oxidizing bacteria and nitrite oxidizing bacteria (SOUR-ratio). The study found that a higher sOUR-ratio was associated with a higher N2O production rate, while a lower sOUR-ratio correlated with a lower N2O production rate.
