Summary: The successful start-up of anaerobic ammonium oxidization (anammox) system is crucial for its application. Two different feeding patterns (pulse and constant) were studied, with pulse feeding showing quicker start-up and reaching steady state faster than constant feeding. Heterotrophs and other microorganisms play important roles in nitrogen and carbon metabolisms, while a quorum sensing system was also found in the anammox system. Complex microbial interactions such as competition, cooperation, and cross-feeding were observed and had an impact on system performance.

Summary: This study found that low concentrations of acetic acid and propionic acid can enhance the performance of the anammox process. When the organic acid concentration is too high, heterotrophic denitrification begins to dominate. Under organic inhibition, anammox bacteria restore energy supply through the carbon fixation pathway and citrate cycle.

Summary: The study found that simultaneous anammox and denitrification (SAD) system has a high contribution rate to total nitrogen removal, but excessive loading can result in deterioration of effluent quality, which can be quickly recovered. AnAOB showed different abundance levels in different layers, with Kuenenia consistently being the dominant AnAOB, while denitrifying bacteria abundance gradually increased.

Summary: Partial nitritation combined with anaerobic ammonium oxidation (PNA) is a promising biological nitrogen-removal process for ammonia-rich wastewater, but its application to low-strength ammonia wastewater remains challenging. This study found that the single-stage PNA processes in two MBRs showed good total nitrogen removal, but competition among anammox bacteria was a concern in both systems.

Summary: Anammox is an efficient nitrogen removal technique, but its long start-up time limits industrial application, therefore the use of carriers to accelerate start-ups is essential. Preservation of anammox bacteria is crucial, and adding polyurethane sponge can shorten the start-up and reactivation time by retaining more anammox bacteria in the reactor.

Summary: The filtered containment system is a passive safety system used to control over-pressurization of containment in design-based accidents by venting a high-pressure mixture of air, steam, and radioactive gases, such as iodine, through a scrubbing system. A lab-scale facility was developed to study iodine removal using a venturi scrubber, simulating accidental scenarios. A modified mathematical model was proposed to improve the efficiency of iodine removal by considering important parameters that were not previously included. Experimental results showed that removal efficiency increased with liquid level height and gas flow rate up to an optimum point before decreasing. The maximum removal efficiency achieved was 99.8%.

Summary: The integration of natural textiles and MXene has great potential for the development of wearable thermal management materials. However, the susceptibility of MXene to oxidation and the weak interaction between MXene and fibers pose challenges in fabricating MXene-decorated textiles with durable and stable thermal management performance. In this study, a novel surface modification strategy using natural sericin was proposed to protect MXene and enhance its stability. The fabricated MXene-coated silk fabrics not only demonstrated excellent thermal management performance, but also possessed superior breathability, laundry durability, and flame retardancy.

Summary: The use of disinfectants made from quaternary ammonium compounds (QACs) has increased significantly since the outbreak of SARS-CoV-2. However, the effect of QACs on wastewater treatment performance remains unclear. This study investigated the effect of a commonly used QAC, benzyl dodecyl dimethyl ammonium bromide (BDAB), on nutrient removal in a moving-bed biofilm reactor (MBBR). The results showed that high BDAB concentrations significantly reduced ammonia removal efficiency and nitrate production rate constants, but the inhibition could be partially recovered by lowering the BDAB concentration. Metagenomic sequencing revealed different functional genera in the control and BDAB-added reactors, and analysis of functional genes suggested potential ecological risks associated with BDAB introduction in WWTPs.

Summary: We demonstrate the first simulation and experimental realization of decomposing cylindrical vector (CV) and orbital angular momentum (OAM) modes by reconstructing multi-view images of the projected intensity distribution. The use of deep learning-based stochastic parallel gradient descent (SPGD) algorithm allows for the retrieval of modal coefficients and optical field distributions with high efficiency and accuracy. The generated donut modes are experimentally decomposed into CV and OAM modes, with a purity of 99.5% for CV modes. Rapid switching of vortex modes is achieved by electrically driving the polarization controller. Our findings provide a convenient way to characterize and deepen the understanding of CV or OAM modes, with potential applications in information coding and quantum computation.

Summary: Tourmaline-LiCoO2 composites were synthesized and found to have high adsorption capacity for Pb2+. The optimal conditions for Pb2+ adsorption were determined to be 0.375 g tourmaline addition and sintering at 800 degrees C. The adsorption behavior of TM0.375LCO800 was influenced by solution pH and foreign cations, with Cu2+ and Zn2+ having the largest effect. XRD, ATR, SEM, TEM, UV-vis DRS, and XPS analysis revealed the physicochemical properties of the composites. The high-temperature transformation of tourmaline and LiCoO2 promoted Pb2+ removal. This study highlights the potential of tourmaline-LiCoO2 composites for heavy metal ion removal and provides scientific insights for future environmental applications.

Summary: Integrating filtration membrane cathode and packed granular carbon cathode in an up-flow bio-electrochemical reactor can maintain both higher-level treatment capacity and electricity generation in the microbial fuel cell (MFC). Scale-ups via unit stacking (U-S) or size-enlarged reactor/electrode (SE-RE) were tested on a Nylon wastewater, achieving high removal efficiencies of nitrogen compounds and COD, as well as significant power generation. Adjusting influent C/N with urea enhanced the COD removal and reduced membrane fouling, making U-S scale-up with urea dosage feasible for practical application in MFC treating Nylon wastewater.

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.
