Summary: This study examined the effect of trace metals on H2/CO2 biomethanation, finding that they are crucial for efficient methane production. During nutrient deprivation, the suppression of hydrogenotrophic archaea at higher gas rates led to a decrease in methane content and an increase in acetic acid concentration. After nutrient supplementation, increased concentrations of Co, Ni, and Fe were found to enhance methanogenic activity, resulting in high methane content and low acetic acid concentration. Mathematical modeling demonstrated that iron limitation suppressed hydrogenotrophic archaea, leading to hydrogen accumulation and the growth of homoacetogenic bacteria.

Summary: The initial attachment of microalgal cells onto electrode surfaces in a bioelectrochemical system is primarily influenced by external voltage, while nutrient availability plays a more crucial role in the subsequent development of the microalgal biofilm. In the absence of external voltage, nutrient availability remains the dominant factor controlling microalgal surface attachment and biofilm formation processes.

Summary: Microbial electrochemical CO2 reduction and in-situ biogas upgrading can effectively reduce CO2 emissions and achieve carbon reduction. This study comprehensively evaluated the optimal pH value for methane upgrading performance and observed the biofilm morphology and microbial community under optimal conditions. The results showed that pH 6.5 was the optimal value, with methane content reaching 88.3% in the biogas and methane production reaching a maximum of 22.1 mmol center dot d(-1). A dense biofilm formed on the electrode surface, dominated by Methanobacterium with a relative abundance of 69.3%. These findings have important practical implications for methane upgrading.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the impact of medium-low temperatures on the electromethanogenesis (EM) process. Results showed that at 30 degrees C, pure CO2 could be converted into high-purity biogas, while at 15 degrees C, methane richness greatly decreased. The decline in performance was mainly attributed to a decrease in methanogenic activity, with no significant decay in hydrogenic activity. Increasing the temperature back to 30 degrees C restored previous performance, highlighting the resilience of EM to temperature fluctuations.

Summary: This study presents a new method for denitrification by coupling autotrophic bioelectrochemical partial-denitrification with anammox. It was demonstrated that nitrite can be stably accumulated and the transformation ratio from nitrate to nitrite can be improved by a small bias voltage. The nitrite and ammonium can be effectively removed through anammox. Additionally, the self-alkalization of the catholyte and the external voltage were found to be important for achieving partial-denitrification.

Summary: Bioremediation is an effective strategy for eliminating pollutants by transforming toxic petroleum components into less harmful metabolites. Diversity of bacterial communities shift during oil-biodegradation process, with a decrease in diversity and an increase in abundance of hydrocarbonoclastic species, such as Alcanivorax. This shift is associated with a high degradation rate of crude oil, decreased sediment toxicity, and potential for future selection of efficient consortia for hydrocarbon contaminated site cleanup.

Summary: The use of machine learning to predict the performance of specific adsorbents in phosphate adsorption shows great promise in saving time and revealing underlying mechanisms. However, the small size of the dataset and insufficient detailed information limits the model training process and the accuracy of results. To address this, the study employs a fuzzing strategy that replaces detailed numeric information with descriptive text messages on the physiochemical properties of adsorbents. This strategy allows the recovery of discarded samples with limited information, leading to accurate prediction of adsorption amount, capacity, and kinetics. The study also finds that phosphate uptake by adsorbents is generally through physisorption, with some involvement of chemisorption. The framework established in this study provides a practical approach for quickly predicting phosphate adsorption performance in urgent scenarios, using easily accessible information.
