This study investigated the relationship between physicochemical properties (namely halogen content and hydrophobicity) of halogenated trace organics and their removal efficiencies by a laboratory scale membrane bioreactor (MBR) under stable operating conditions. The reported results demonstrated a combined effect of halogen content and hydrophobicity on the removal. Compounds with high halogen content (>0.3) were well removed (>85%) when they possessed high hydrophobicity (Log D > 3.2), while those with lower Log D values were also well removed if they had low halogen content (<0.1). General indices such as the BIOWIN index (which is based on only biodegradation) or a more specific index such as the halogen content (which captures a chemical aspect) appeared insufficient to predict the removal efficiency of halogenated compounds in MBR. Experimental data confirmed that the ratio of halogen content and Log D, which incorporates two important physico-chemical properties, is comparatively more suitable. (C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd.

Investigating machine learning models to predict microbial activity during ozonation-biofiltration

Mahshid S. Z. Farzanehsa, Guido Carvajal, John Mieog, Stuart J. Khan

Summary: Continuous online monitoring is important for ensuring reliable water quality outcomes and effective removal of microbial substances during advanced wastewater treatment processes. However, most microbial indicators cannot be continuously monitored online. This study used a combined ozonation-biological media filtration process to reduce microbial indicator concentration and developed models for predicting microbial indicator concentration changes. Machine learning algorithms were applied to identify physico-chemical predictors and their associations with microbial indicator reduction. Support vector machines (SVM) with a Gaussian kernel classifier showed superior performance in microbial removal prediction. The study provides an efficient method to predict the effectiveness of the O-3/BMF process in removing microbial indicators based on commonly measured physico-chemical parameters.

Wastewater-based monitoring reveals geospatial-temporal trends for antibiotic-resistant pathogens in a large urban community

Zillur Rahman, Weijia Liu, Lara Stapleton, Nikki Kenters, Dewa A. P. Rasmika Dewi, Ori Gudes, Helen Ziochos, Stuart J. Khan, Kaye Power, Mary-Louise McLaws, Torsten Thomas

Summary: Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a major global health threat, and current surveillance programs lack monitoring outside healthcare settings. Wastewater testing can provide a simple and continuous way to survey AMR trends in the community. By monitoring wastewater in Greater Sydney, Australia, we found regular presence of extended-spectrum beta-lactamases-producing Enterobacteriaceae (ESBL-E), and occasional presence of carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE), vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE), and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). Our study highlights the potential of routine wastewater surveillance for understanding factors driving AMR distribution.

Microalgae enrichment for biomass harvesting and water reuse by ceramic microfiltration membranes

Lisa Aditya, Hang P. Vu, Luong N. Nguyen, T. M. Indra Mahlia, Ngoc Bich Hoang, Long D. Nghiem

Summary: This study evaluates the performance of a ceramic microfiltration membrane for extracting clean water and pre-concentrating microalgae. The results show that membrane fouling is specific to each microalgae species, but can be efficiently mitigated by aeration and regular backwashing. C. vulgaris exhibited considerable membrane fouling over time, while Scenedesmus sp. showed negligible fouling. The ceramic microfiltration membrane can simultaneously enrich the microalgae solution and recycle permeated water for microalgae cultivation.

Effect of biomass retention time on performance and fouling of a stirred membrane photobioreactor

Bao-Trong Dang, Xuan-Thanh Bui, Thanh-Tin Nguyen, Huu Hao Ngo, Long D. Nghiem, Ky-Phuong-Ha Huynh, Thi-Kim-Quyen Vo, Thi-Dieu-Hien Vo, Chitsan Lin, Shiao-Shing Chen

Summary: Co-culture of microalgae-activated sludge has the potential to purify wastewater while reducing energy demand from aeration. This study used a mechanically stirred membrane photobioreactor to evaluate the impact of biomass retention time on treatment performance and membrane fouling. Results showed that the highest productivity was achieved at a biomass retention time of 7 days, with a lower retention time leading to increased fouling rates. The optimum biomass retention time of 7 days allowed for sufficient access to light and nutrient exchange for mutualistic interactions between microalgae and activated sludge.

Comparison of UV-Cl and UV-H2O2 advanced oxidation processes in the degradation of contaminants from water and wastewater: A review

Mahshid Farzanehsa, Liam C. C. Vaughan, Arash Zamyadi, Stuart J. J. Khan

Summary: Applications of advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) in water and wastewater treatment have been of great interest. UV-chlorine (UV-Cl) is emerging as a potentially cost-effective alternative to UV/hydrogen peroxide (UV-H2O2), showing efficient degradation of emerging chemicals in contaminated water. UV-H2O2 does not have superiority over UV-Cl in terms of disinfection by-product (DBP) formation. However, more investigation and pilot-scale studies are needed to establish UV-Cl as a reliable alternative to UV-H2O2.

H. M. Abd-ur-Rehman, V. Prodanovic, A. Deletic, S. J. Khan, J. A. McDonald, K. Zhang

Summary: Green walls provide a new and on-site method for treating and reusing greywater in urban areas. This study investigated the performance of different lightweight green wall media in removing twelve emerging contaminants from greywater. The results showed that coco coir and media mix columns achieved excellent removal of all contaminants through adsorption, with some hydrophilic contaminants also undergoing biodegradation. However, further research is needed to investigate the synergetic contribution of plants and media in removing these contaminants in long-term vegetated green wall systems.

Ceftriaxone sodium degradation by carbon quantum dots (CQDs)-decorated C-doped α-Bi2O3 nanorods

Xianbo Sun, Ying Pan, Yanyu Song, Wen Liu, Long D. Nghiem, Qilin Wang, Zhengqing Cai

Summary: A novel carbon quantum dots decorated C-doped alpha-Bi2O3 photocatalyst (CBO/CQDs) was synthesized and showed significantly improved contaminants removal efficiencies. CBO/CQDs exhibited much higher ceftriaxone sodium degradation rate constant (k) compared to pure alpha-Bi2O3 and C-doped alpha-Bi2O3. The synergistic effect of carbon doping, CQDs loading, and reduced particle size of CBO/CQDs enhanced the utilization of visible light and efficient separation of photogenerated carriers.

Carbamazepine facilitated horizontal transfer of antibiotic resistance genes by enhancing microbial communication and aggregation

Yinping Xiang, Meiying Jia, Rui Xu, Jialu Xu, Lele He, Haihao Peng, Weimin Sun, Dongbo Wang, Weiping Xiong, Zhaohui Yang

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.

Machine learning-based prediction of methane production from lignocellulosic wastes

Chao Song, Fanfan Cai, Shuang Yang, Ligong Wang, Guangqing Liu, Chang Chen

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.
