In this study, we demonstrate the first feasibility of combining pilot-scale microbial electrolytic cells (MECs) with hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL) for simultaneous post-hydrothermal liquefaction wastewater (PHW) treatment and efficient hydrogen (H₂) production to meet biocrude upgrading requirements. Long-term single reactor operation revealed that fixed anode potential enabled rapid startup, and low catholyte pH and high salinity were effective in suppression of cathodic methanogenesis and acetogenesis – resulting in high current density of 16.6 A m⁻² and 9.3 A m⁻² when feeding synthetic wastewater and PHW respectively. Additionally, the anode biofilm exhibited spatial variations in response to local environmental conditions. Onsite parallel or serial operations of multiple MECs showed good performance using actual PHW with a record-high H₂ production rate of 0.5 L L_R day⁻¹ for MEC over 10 liters scale, and the optimal chemical oxygen demand (COD)-to-H₂ yield reached 0.127 kg-H₂ per kg-COD, supporting a self-sufficient, closed-loop upgrade to jet fuel.","PeriodicalId":443,"journal":{"name":"Water Research","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":12.8,"publicationDate":"2024-10-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142444305","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this study, we investigated the bacterioplankton in a 96 hours microcosm experiment with P additions in two forms (organic/inorganic P, OP/IP) and three levels (final conc., 0.040, 0.065 and 0.125 g/L), aiming to find out the response pattern of bacterioplankton in coping with the increasing P levels. Results showed a more dramatic change of water properties and bacterioplankton between P forms (OP and IP) than among the addition levels, and a more remarkable effect of OP addition than the IP. Both OP and IP treatments significantly decreased the water pH, dissolved oxygen (DO), Electrical Conductivity (EC), Nitrate Nitrogen (NO₃^--N) and Total Organic Carbon (TOC), and reduced the α-diversity of bacterioplankton and relative abundance of Cyanobacteria, but increased the abundance of Proteobacteria. The IP addition decreased Actinobacteria abundance (especially for HgcI) and showed higher denitrification potentials, while the OP addition depressed the Bateroidota and exhibited lowed methylotrophic functions, but such trends decreased with increasing addition concentrations. The network analysis showed that both IP and OP additions increased the proportion of positively correlated edges and reduced the network complexity and stability, but the OP network was more stable than the IP network. The study clarifies the response pattern of bacterioplankton to the P input with different forms and levels, and deepens our understanding of the eutrophication process, which provides a scientific basis for the management and control of freshwater lakes facing eutrophication.","PeriodicalId":443,"journal":{"name":"Water Research","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":12.8,"publicationDate":"2024-10-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142439919","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The Lancang River (LCR), characterized by its cascade reservoir system, presents uncertainties in nitrogen transport and nitrate transformation mechanisms. Herein, we conducted monthly monitoring of hydrochemistry and multiple stable isotopes (δ¹⁵N-NO₃^-, δ¹⁸O-NO₃^-, δ¹⁸O-H₂O, δD-H₂O) throughout 2019 in both the natural river reach (NRR) and cascade reservoirs reach (CRR) of the LCR. Through the monthly detection of nitrogen forms and runoff in the import (M2) and export (M9) section, the average annual retention ratios for Total nitrogen (TN), Nitrate nitrogen (NO₃^--N), Particulate Nitrogen (PN) and Ammonium Nitrogen (NH₄⁺-N) were about -35%, -53%, 48% and -65%, respectively. The retention rates were positively correlated with hydraulic retention time and negatively correlated with reservoir age, especially in the flood season. Compared to the NRR, the reservoir had significantly affected the nitrogen transport characteristics, especially for the large reservoirs (like Xiaowan and Nuozhadu), which enhanced phytoplankton uptake of NO₃^--N to form PN capabilities in the lentic environment and subsequently to precipitate or intercept it at the reservoir. This led to the overall decreasing trend of TN and PN concentrations along the CRR. The Bayesian stable isotope model quantified NO₃^--N sources from the NRR to the CRR. During this transition, soil nitrogen (SN) ratios decreased from 69.3% to 61.8%, while Manure & sewage (M&S) increased from 24.0% to 31.3%. Anthropogenic and natural factors, including urban sewage discharge, population density, and precipitation, were selected as key predictor variables. The eXtreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost) model exhibited superior predictive performance for NO₃^--N concentrations, achieving an R² of 0.70. These findings deepen our understanding of the impact of reservoirs on river ecology.","PeriodicalId":443,"journal":{"name":"Water Research","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":12.8,"publicationDate":"2024-10-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142439698","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The rapid oxidation of Mn(II) is essential in water treatment. This study investigates the efficiency of Mn(II) oxidation by free chlorine in the presence of Fe(II). The results demonstrate that the presence of Fe(II) significantly accelerates the oxidation rate of Mn(II) by free chlorine under neutral and alkaline conditions. The rapid oxidation of Fe(II) by free chlorine and the presence of Mn(II) promote the formation of in situ Mn(II)-doped ferrihydrite. Kinetic modeling and characterization of Fe(III) oxides confirm that the heterogeneous catalytic effect of the Mn(II)-doped ferrihydrite, rather than manganese oxides or their coupled catalytic effect, is responsible for the enhanced oxidation rates. The doped Mn(II) substitutes the tetrahedral Fe(III) ions in the ferrihydrite, introducing additional negative charges at the doped sites. The increased charge enhances Mn(II) adsorption and lowers its redox potential, thereby accelerating Mn(II) oxidation rate through direct electron transfer with adjacent free chlorine. Additionally, the lepidocrocite formed by the reaction between Fe(II) and dissolved oxygen significantly impedes the catalytic performance. These findings provide new insights into the catalytic co-oxidation mechanism of Fe(II) and Mn(II), and help the optimization of water treatment engineering practices.","PeriodicalId":443,"journal":{"name":"Water Research","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":12.8,"publicationDate":"2024-10-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142436331","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, undesirable properties of high-strength mariculture solid wastes (MSW) such as high solids concentration, excessive salinity and poor bioavailability limited the overall solubilization and acidogenic efficiency. This study innovatively introduced rhamnolipid (RL) to alleviate this adverse effect, and unveiled its cooperation with TB on enhancing organic matter dissolution and volatile fatty acids (VFAs) production. The results showed that VFAs yield from pretreated MSW was improved by 9.4-15.1 folds with enriched acetate (81.4%-94.4%) in the TB+RL groups. The co-pretreatment of RL and TB disintegrated substrate structure for efficient release of electron shuttles and biodegradable organics. This was because introducing RL reconstructed solid-liquid interfacial charge and molecular arrangement, improved thermophilic enzyme activity, and reduced apoptosis and necrosis cells of TB. Substrate bioavailability was further improved with proteinic structure shifted from α-helix and β-sheet to random coil and aggregated strands, and amide II and carboxyl groups interacted with RL molecules. These changes induced the selective enrichment of hydrolytic and acidogenic bacteria, and the upregulated expression of encoding genes responsible for transmembrane transport, protein hydrolysis, carbohydrate metabolism and acetate biosynthesis. This study provides a new strategy to overcome the bottlenecks of acidogenesis from high-strengthen organic wastes and deciphers the underlying mechanism.","PeriodicalId":443,"journal":{"name":"Water Research","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":12.8,"publicationDate":"2024-10-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142439406","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the accumulation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in the environment may worsen the operational challenges of the EPD system. This study evaluated the resilience of the EPD system to the toxic impacts of phenanthrene (PHE) and anthracene (ANT) through macrogenomic analysis. A control group was maintained under identical conditions for comparison. The results revealed that PHE and ANT had a relatively minimal impact on NO₃⁻-N transformation and organic matter removal but significantly affected PO₄³⁻-P removal and NO₂⁻-N accumulation in the EPD process. The PHE system achieved a higher NO₂⁻-N accumulation, with a maximum NO₃⁻-N to NO₂⁻-N conversion ratio of 90.08%. In contrast, the ANT system exhibited higher efficiency in the PO₄³⁻-P removal, achieving a peak removal rate of 74.94%. Macrogenomic analysis revealed that PAHs significantly enriched both denitrifying glycogen-accumulating organisms (including <em>Candidatus_Competibacter</em>) and denitrifying polyphosphate-accumulating organisms (such as <em>Thauera, Candidatus_Contendobacter, and Candidatus_Accumulibacter</em>). This enrichment stabilized these organisms, facilitating NO₂⁻-N accumulation and PO₄³⁻-P removal. Metabolic pathway analysis indicated that PHE promoted the enrichment of NO₃⁻-N reductase and inhibited NO₂⁻-N reductase activity. However, ANT stimulated oxidative phosphorylation and the phosphate cycle. Moreover, PAH metabolites enhanced the expression of key genes encoding succinate dehydrogenase and isocitrate dehydrogenase in the tricarboxylic acid cycle within the EPD process, leading to increase the synthesis and utilization of acetyl coenzyme-A. Notably, significant differences were observed between the effects of PHE and ANT on these metabolic processes. This study provides new methods for treating PAH-containing wastewater through the combination of EPD and anaerobic ammonia oxidation.","PeriodicalId":443,"journal":{"name":"Water Research","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":12.8,"publicationDate":"2024-10-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142439407","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study examines surface-sediment samples and ²¹⁰Pb-dated sediment cores from six floodplain lakes, representing a gradient in hydrological connectivity in the lower Magdalena River Basin, Colombia. We analysed temporal and spatial variations in several sediment biogeochemical indicators: the concentration and flux of nutrients, heavy metals, and organic matter (OM), and redox conditions, flooding and erosion. Multiple factor analysis (MFA) of surface-sediments identified redox conditions, OM, flooding, heavy metals and lake connectivity as the main contributors to spatial variability within- and between-lakes sediments, accounting for 48% of the total variation. Additionally, no clear distinction was found between littoral and open-water sediment characteristics. Isolated lakes sediments exhibited reductive conditions rich in OM and nutrients, whereas connected lakes sediments showed greater heavy metal enrichment and higher concentrations of coarse river-fed material. Generalised additive models identified significant changes in the biogeochemical indicators since the late 1800s, that accelerated post-1980s. Shifts in OM, erosion, flooding, redox conditions, land-cover change, heavy metals and climate were identified by MFA as the main drivers of change, explaining 60%-71% of the variation in the connected lakes and 53%-72% in the isolated lakes. Post-1980s, connected lakes transitioned from conditions of higher accumulation of OM and little erosion to higher accumulation of heavy metals and river-fed material. Conversely, isolated lakes, shifted from detrital-heavy metal-rich sediments to OM-, and nutrient-rich, reductive sediments. Sedimentation rates also surged post-1980s, particularly in highly connected lakes, from 0.14 ± 0.07 g cm² yr⁻¹ to 0.5 ± 0.5 g cm² yr⁻¹, with elevated fluxes of metals, OM and nutrients. These changes in sediment biogeochemistry align with deforestation, river regulation and prolonged dry periods, highlighting the complexities behind establishing reliable reference conditions for pollution assessments in large, human-impacted tropical river systems.","PeriodicalId":443,"journal":{"name":"Water Research","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":12.8,"publicationDate":"2024-10-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142436330","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Through the developed approach, we successfully identified thousands of individual DOM molecules in the water bodies of the Yangtze River Basin. For the first time, the proportions of natural and anthropogenic organics within DOM were revealed. In total, 9557 unambiguous molecular formulas were assigned to DOM in the Yangtze River Basin. The proportions of CHNO and CHOS compounds increased from upstream to downstream regions. Moreover, 1099 DOM compounds were tentatively identified, with 85% being endogenous organics and 15% being exogenous organics. Notably, lipids and pharmaceuticals and personal care products were the most frequently detected endogenous and exogenous compounds. The spatial variation of the identified DOM indicated anthropogenic discharges considerably increased both the number and abundance of DOM in the downstream Yangtze River Basin.

Here, the biodegradable picolinic acid (PICA) was used as one kind of chelating ligands (CLs) to enhance the removal of organic pollutants (OPs) at initial pH 3.0−8.0, which displayed superior properties than the other CLs in Fe(III)/PI process. The dominant reactive species produced in the Fe(III)-PICA/PI process turned out to be high-valent iron-oxo (Fe^IV=O) species and hydroxyl radical (^•OH) by quenching, sulfoxide probe transformation, and ¹⁸O isotope-labeling tests. The relative contribution of Fe^IV=O and ^•OH was dependent on OPs ionization potential (IP) and energy gap (ΔE). The degradation of OPs was also directly associated with their structure, the apparent rate constants correlated well with the highest occupied molecular orbital energy (E_HOMO), IP, and ΔE, and among them ΔE had a greater effect. Furthermore, Fe(III)-PICA complexes displayed excellent long-term effectiveness for OPs removal in actual water matrixes, along with the non-toxic conversion of PI, indicating a broad application perspective of Fe(III)-PICA/PI process.

Herein, we present the innovative synthesis and characterization of a single-atom manganese-doped carbon nitride (SA-Mn-CN) nanozyme, integrated into a polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) membrane for advanced water treatment applications. The SA-Mn-CN nanozyme demonstrates high peroxidase-like activity, efficiently catalyzing the oxidation of 3,3’,5,5’-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) and generating reactive oxygen species (ROS) for effective antibacterial action. Notably, the SA-Mn-CN/PVDF membrane showcases enhanced water permeability, superior antifouling properties, and ultra-fast degradation kinetics of organic pollutants. Mechanistic studies reveal that the nanozyme selectively generates Mn(IV)-oxo species via peroxymonosulfate (PMS) activation, crucial for the efficient oxidation processes. Our integrated membrane system effectively removes (within 1 min, &gt; 92% removal) a variety of organic micropollutants in continuous-flow operations, demonstrating excellent stability and minimal manganese leaching. Compared to conventional advanced oxidation process (AOPs)/membrane system, the SA-Mn-CN/PVDF/PMS system holds the advantages of high catalytic activity and selectivity for generation of reactive species, wide working pH range (pH3-11) and excellent stability and reusability under the backwashing conditions. The developed device-scale AOPs/membrane system was proven to be effective in bacterial inactivation and pollutants degradation, verifying the vast application potential of the SA-Mn-CN/PVDF membrane for practical water decontamination.
