Summary: This study investigates the relationships between granule stability, diameter, biomass retention capacity, and denitrification efficiency in Aerobic Granular Sludge (AGS) technology. The results indicate that granule diameter is not a reliable indicator of stability or biomass retention capacity. Promoting simultaneous nitrification and denitrification is found to improve granule stability. Ensuring coordination between diameter and denitrification control is crucial for AGS stability.

Summary: This study assessed the impact of polyethylene microplastics on aerobic granular sludge and found that the microplastics did not decrease the efficiency of biological treatment, but instead stimulated the production of extracellular polymeric substances and alginate. However, the presence of microplastics changed the morphology of the granular sludge and worsened the settling properties of the biomass.

Summary: The formation, performance, and microbial community structure of aerobic granular sludge (AGS) were investigated in the presence and absence of oxytetracycline (OTC). The results showed that the addition of OTC promoted the formation of well-settling AGS, but decreased the removal rates of nitrogen and phosphorus. This study is important for understanding the impact of antibiotics on AGS and designing treatment methods for antibiotic-laden wastewaters.

Summary: The study explored an efficient strategy for cultivating salt-tolerant aerobic granular sludge (SAGS) by seeding anaerobic granular sludge in a SBR, which showed high removal efficiency of COD, NH4+-N, and total nitrogen at 3% salinity. Bacterial community analysis identified dominant AOB and denitrifiers as Nitrosomonas and Defluviimonas, respectively, with low abundance of Nitrospira. qPCR results revealed decreased abundance of nirS and nirK under high salinity, explaining the lower TN removal efficiency and NO2--N accumulation.

Summary: This study investigated the effects of sulfur metabolism on microbial communities and functional enzyme succession in aerobic fermentation systems using integrated multi-omics. The microbial sulfur-oxidizing system oxidized sulfur powder to S2O32-, which was subsequently oxidized to SO42-, leading to a pH decrease to 7.5 on day 7. The pH decrease favored the dominance of Novibacillus, which secreted metalloproteases and had more negatively charged amino acid residues on their surface for protein stability at low pH.

Summary: The immigration of bacteria in influent wastewater has a strong impact on the microbial community of activated sludge in wastewater treatment plants. The use of primary settlers can selectively increase or reduce the abundance of certain bacteria. The process of primary settling changes the microbial community of influent wastewater and can be a candidate for upstream control to optimize the assembly of microbial communities in activated sludge.

Summary: Metagenomic analysis was used to propose the potential mechanism for the enhancement of nitrogen and phosphorus removal in algal-bacterial aerobic granular sludge (A-AGS). The results showed high removal rates for chemical oxygen demand, ammonia nitrogen, total N, and total P in A-AGS. The enrichment of extracellular polymeric substances by algae promoted the formation of A-AGS. Functional gene analysis indicated enhanced nitrification, denitrification, and polyphosphate accumulation in A-AGS, with the dominant source of functional genes being the genus Thauera. The synergistic effect between bacteria and microalgae contributed to the improved N and P removal performance, showing potential for wastewater treatment applications.

Summary: This study investigates the correlations among wettability, dimple curvature radius, and nucleation characteristics on nanostructured surfaces. The results show that nucleation sites are located in the interior of dimples. Increasing surface hydrophobicity or dimple curvature radius would make nucleation more difficult. The obtained critical sizes of nuclei from molecular dynamics simulations are larger than the results estimated by the classical nucleation theory. Additionally, increasing the dimple number benefits the nucleation probability and condensation performance.

Summary: During condensation, applying an external electric field can effectively hinder flooding phenomena and improve the heat-transfer rate by manipulating droplets' motion. Increasing vertical electric field strength hinders vapor motion and decreases collision frequency, while increasing horizontal electric field strength improves condensation performance by enlarging the contacting area. Different electric field frequencies influence growth and nucleation, resulting in various condensation performances.

Summary: This paper evaluates the performance of a proton exchange membrane fuel cell through various criteria such as thermodynamics, economics, and degradation. The degradation rate, total costs, electrical efficiency, and cell power are evaluated based on process parameters like electric current, temperature, and hydrogen/oxygen pressures. The non-dominated sorted genetic algorithm-II (NSGA-II) is used to optimize the system and obtain the three-dimensional Pareto solution and optimal operation parameter set. Low current and high hydrogen/oxygen pressure contribute to reduced degradation rate, decreased total costs, and improved electrical efficiency. In comparison to the unoptimized cell, the optimized cell shows a 47.67% reduction in degradation rate, a 31.26% decrease in total costs, and an 11.14% increase in electrical efficiency. Additionally, the extended useful life results in increased total electrical power over the cell's lifetime.

It is found that larger isolated hydrophilic spots enhance nucleation probability and cluster growth. Increasing the density of hydrophilic spots enhances nucleation probability but suppresses the growth of individual clusters. There is a critical size of hydrophilic spots below which vapor condensation cannot occur.

Summary: Using molecular dynamics simulations, we studied the hole formation of water nanodroplets impacting hydrophilic to hydrophobic surfaces with different static contact angles and initial surface temperatures. We found that the hole dynamics of nanodroplets are different from millimeter-sized droplets, and the hole formation is influenced by surface temperature and wettability. A criterion is developed to predict the hole formation of nanodroplets based on thermal stability analysis. Additionally, we observed the ring-bouncing of nanodroplets triggered by the nucleated vapor bubble.

Summary: The contact time of oblique nanodroplet impacts on nanopillar-arrayed superhydrophobic surfaces is investigated through molecular dynamics simulations. It is found that the contact time is shorter on nanopillar-arrayed surfaces compared to smooth superhydrophobic surfaces under the same impact angles due to the non-axisymmetry of spreading factors. The non-axisymmetry is more significant at impact angles greater than 35 degrees and when the aspect ratio of nanopillars is increased.

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.
