In this study, a novel sludge-ceramsite was applied as main substrate in intermittent-aerated subsurface flow constructed wetlands (SSF CWs) for treating decentralized domestic wastewater, and intensified organics and nitrogen removal in different SSF CWs (with and without intermittent aeration, with and without sludge-ceramsite substrate) were evaluated. High removal of 97.2% COD, 98.9% NH4+-N and 85.8% TN were obtained simultaneously in the intermittent-aerated CW system using sludge-ceramsite substrate compared with non-aerated CWs. Moreover, results from fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) analysis revealed that the growth of ammonia-oxidizing bacteria (AOB) and nitrite-oxidizing bacteria (NOB) in the intermittent-aerated CW system with sludge-ceramsite substrate was enhanced, thus indicating that the application of intermittent aeration and sludge-ceramsite plays an important role in nitrogen transformations. These results suggest that a combination of intermittent aeration and sludge-ceramsite substrate is reliable to enhance the treatment performance in SSF CWs. (C) 2016 Elsevier Ltd.

Effective destruction of perfluorooctanoic acid by zero-valent iron laden biochar obtained from carbothermal reduction: Experimental and simulation study

Min Yang, Xiaolei Zhang, Yicheng Yang, Qiang Liu, Long D. Nghiem, Wenshan Guo, Huu Hao Ngo

Summary: The study found that BC-ZVI had a significantly better degradation effect on PFOA compared to BC and ZVI alone, achieving over 99% removal within 6 hours under hydro-thermal conditions. XRD and SEM-EDS analyses suggested that carbothermal reduction could prevent ZVI agglomeration on biochar, making the degradation process more efficient. Density functional theory calculations showed that edge loaded ZVI on BC had a greater tendency to provide electrons for PFOA defluorination than internally loaded ZVI.

Summary: A novel integrated system combining an anaerobic membrane bioreactor (AnMBR) and a single-chamber air cathode microbial fuel cell (ScMFC) was designed to enhance methane production and reduce membrane fouling. The system delivered a stable micro-bioelectric field environment with a high voltage output. Compared to the conventional AnMBR, this system increased methane production and reduced soluble microbial product and extracellular polymeric substances concentrations. In addition, the trans membrane pressure also remained in a slow growth status, prolonging the system's operation cycle.
