Mercury methylation was consisted of biotic and abiotic methylation in nature, which play decisive roles in the geochemical cycle of mercury and its compounds. The abiotic methylation has been deeply studied to the gene level, but the abiotic methylation mechanism of mercury is still unclear. This paper analyzed condition and key factors of abiotic methylation of mercury, mechanism of abiotic methylation was comprehensively expounded by electron distribution, hybridization, electronegativity and free radical theory. The corrin-like coenzyme methylcobalamin was an efficient methyl donor, and the effect of pH on the mercury abiotic methylation was the greatest. The initial mercury concentration of 500mg/L, pH = 5 and temperature 35°C were the optimal parameters for yielding methylmercury, which is the most unfavorable conditions to the nature. The abiotic methylation of mercury conforms to the second-order reaction kinetic model. Compared with solution, soil will reduce the rate and yield of abiotic methylation. The mechanism of abiotic methylation reaction of mercury should be the coexistence of carbanion transfer and methyl radical reaction.
Wastewater treatment in rural China with better energy efficiency and recyclability is in urgent demand. In this demonstration project study, a novel process consisting of a waterwheel-rotating biological contactor (WRBC) and plants purification system was developed to treat rural sewage with a design flow of 20m3/d. The removal efficiency of COD, TN (total nitrogen), TP (total phosphorus) was 76 %-87 %, 52 %-66 % and 67 %-79 %. Microbial communities of biofilm sludge and suspended sludge in WRBC system, together with sludge attached to plant roots in plants purification system were analyzed and compared. Data of similar facilities (electricity consumption required) at 22 wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) were collected to evaluate the process operation cost level. The operating energy consumption of this project was 21 %-40 % lower than that of A2/O process and 24 %-36 % lower than that of bio-contact oxidation process. The system had the advantage of removing pollutants with low economic cost and could realize resource recovery through economic crop planting, which may give references in the development of a circular economy at the WWTPs in rural areas.
Simultaneous partial nitrification, anammox and denitrification (SNAD) is a sustainable and cost-effective technology for nitrogen removal from low-strength wastewater. However, knowledge of the biofilm microenvironment of the SNAD system is currently unsatisfactory. The purpose of this study was to evaluate organic carbon effects on the microenvironment and microbial growth in the SNAD biofilm system. Microelectrodes were used to investigate microbial activity in-depth within biofilms. ORP distribution of the SNAD system was positively related to anammox activity(R2 = 0.9), and had some influence on microbial community structure. The synergistic effect of anammox bacteria and denitrifiers could be achieved when the abundance ratio of anammox bacteria to denitrifying bacteria is greater than 1.2.

Anaerobic ammonia oxidation (anammox) process is known as a low-energy and environmentally friendly process for treating nitrogen-rich wastewater. Anammox bacteria are the key microorganisms to achieve this biological process. However, the efficient enrichment of anammox bacteria has been a bottleneck for its practical application because of their slow growth and high sensitivity, and no pure culture has been found. Therefore, the development of efficient anammox bacterial enrichment techniques is of great theoretical and application value. Solving the problem of anammox bacterial activity and improving the process denitrification performance is one of the current research hotspots. In this paper, three aspects of anammox bacteria are described in terms of their physiological properties, environmental influencing factors, and short-term starvation tolerance; a systematic review of the latest research progress in accelerating the activity of anammox bacteria using enrichment strategies for process regulation, the construction of granulation models, suspended sludge biomass management, and strain preservation. Finally, the future frontier development of anammox bacteria was discussed and foreseen.
Soil pollution is a global environmental problem. Nanoscale zero-valent iron (nZVI) as a kind of emerging remedial material is used for contaminated soil, which can quickly and effectively degrade and remove pollutants such as organic halides, nitrates and heavy metals in soil, respectively. However, nZVI and its composites can enter the soil environment in the application process, affect the physical and chemical properties of the soil, be absorbed by microorganisms and affect the growth and metabolism of microorganisms, thus affecting the ecological environment of the entire soil. Because of the potential risks of nZVI to the environment and ecosystems, this paper summarizes the current application of nZVI in the remediation of contaminated soil environments, summarizes the various factors affecting the toxic effects of nZVI particles and comprehensively analyzes the toxic effects of nZVI on microorganisms, toxic mechanisms and cell defense behaviors to provide a theoretical reference for subsequent biosafety research on nZVI.
The Batman-TCM research platform based on network pharmacology was used to predict the reverse targets of 11 active components of blueberry. The anti-inflammatory target genes of these components were extracted by comparing them with the anti-inflammatory drug target genes in the GeneCards database. GO enrichment and KEGG pathway, as well as protein interaction analysis of these anti-inflammatory target genes, were carried out using the String database. The anti-inflammatory component-target-action pathway map of blueberry was constructed using the Cytoscape software. The molecular docking between seven components and two targets was validated using the Autodock-vina program. The results showed that 7 components had anti-inflammatory activity and acted on 84 anti-inflammatory targets. KEGG and GO analysis showed that the main active components of blueberry could inhibit inflammation by inhibiting the production of inflammatory factors and enhancing immunity. Network analysis revealed that the main anti-inflammatory targets of blueberry active components were TNF, ESR1, AGTR1, and IGF1. Based on molecular docking analysis, the main components of blueberry integrate with 2 important targets in inflammatory networks. Collectively, we characterized the anti-inflammatory effect of blueberry by multi-component, multi-target, and multi-pathway.

Thepresent study introduces a coupled system comprising an upflowanaerobic sludge blanket (UASB) and a sequencing batch reactor (SBR)to treat intensive cattle farming wastewater. The results confirmedthat the optimal conditions for UASB were an organic load rate of9.98 kg-COD m(-3)& BULL;day(-1), aC/N ratio of 22, and a hydraulic retention time (HRT) of 1.5 h. Forthe SBR reactor, the optimal conditions are a dissolved oxygen (DO)concentration of 6.08 mg L-1 and the S2 aerationmode. Under these optimal conditions, the study achieved anaerobicand aerobic sludge granules (0.25-0.5 and 0.5-0.75 mm)with excellent properties due to the cooperation of a functional microbialcommunity, including Synergistetes, Thermotogae, Acidobacteria, Proteobacteria, Chloroflexi, and Hyd24-12 in UASB and Paracoccus, Proteobacteria, Chloroflexi, and Acinetobacter in SBR. This hybrid system contributed 94% of chemical oxygen demand(COD), 90% of NH4 (+)-N, 90% of TN, and 61% ofTP. Additionally, it achieved 18% net energy recovery from the realcattle wastewater, indicating that the UASB-SBR-coupled systemholds potential as an approach for treating and recovering energyfrom cattle wastewater. Anovel system combining micro-aerated UASB and SBR processestreats cattle wastewater efficiently while recovering energy simultaneously.
The treatment of rural sewage has become an important part of environmental protection. In this study, a novel waterwheel-rotating biological contactor (WRBC) system, with intensified biofilm and high-shock load resistance, was applied to treat rural sewage. When the COD concentration of actual sewage fluctuated between 79–530 mg/L, the COD removal efficiency was 41.3–94.5%, and the NH4+-N removal efficiency always reach 100% with actual sewage. The TN removal efficiency changed between 14.3–86.2%, which was greatly affected by the water intake. The effluent TN concentration ranged from 5 to 14 mg/L, which meets the emission requirements. It maintained an absolute effluent stability when the change rates of influent loads (N or COD) varied from −60% to 100%. The biofilm morphology and the composition of extracellular polymeric substances were evaluated based on SEM and FTIR spectra. The results showed that the -NH2 group content increased compared with the inoculated sludge, and the biofilm formed more uneven compact clusters after the treatment of actual sewage. Based on 16SrRNA high-throughput sequencing techniques, the bacterial diversity and microbial community structure of the WRBC system over time was revealed. This study may help guide optimization strategies for more effective pollutant removal in rural areas.

Electrodeionization (EDI) is used to recover ammonia from wastewater as a fuel, but how its performance for ammonia recovery is affected by the supporting electrolyte is not very clear. This study involved experimental tests and theoretical calculations on NH3 recovery, NH4 + permeation, and NH4 + and Na+ interacting with the functional groups in a cation exchange membrane (CEM) using Na2SO4 as the supporting electrolyte. The results demonstrated that a low concentration (≤0.250 mol L-1 of Na2SO4) was conducive to NH4 + permeation, while the a concentration (0.750 mol L-1 of Na2SO4) hindered NH4 + permeation. A maximum recovery efficiency of ammonia of 80.00%, a current efficiency of 70.10%, and an energy balance ratio of 0.66 were obtained at 0.250 mol L-1 of Na2SO4. Numerical results indicated that an increase in Na2SO4 concentration caused severe concentration polarization that resisted NH4 + migration in the CEM. The DFT results demonstrated that competitive adsorption of Na+ to the CEM hindered NH4 + migration. The weaker interacting force between NH4 + and the sulfonate functional group (-SOH3) in comparison to that between Na+ and -SOH3 might be related to the geometric and orientation effects, which generated an additional energy barrier for NH4 + transport. Therefore, this study suggests that the supporting electrolyte concentration should be matched with that of the desalted ions.

To solve the problem that it takes a long time to cultivate granular sludge under single load or gradually increasing load and the removal of pollutants is unstable. An alternative change of influent carbon-nitrogen loading was proposed to study the formation process of aerobic granular sludge (AGS) and the removal effect of pollutants. Cultivated AGS by influent—aeration—sedimentation—drainage (S1) and influent— aeration—anoxia—aeration—anoxia—aeration—sedimentation—drainage (S2), and the morphological changes, sedimentation performance and pollutant removal situation during the formation of granular sludge were compared and analyzed. Results showed that the average particle size of the reactor (S1) was 0.5 mm on Day 84 and the reactor (S2) on Day 78. At the Day 115, the average particle size of the sludge in two reactors was 0.85 mm and 0.97 mm.S1 and S2 mass concentration of the MLSS is 4.940, 5.895 g/L and SVI in the reactor is 80, 46 mL/g, mature AGS was more conducive to the growth of microorganisms, maintained higher biomass and sedimentation performance.The removal effect of COD and NH4+–N under two operating modes changed slightly, and the removal effect of TN and PO43––P was significantly different. The removal rates of COD, NH4+–N, TN, and PO43––P in S1 operation mode were 90.0%, 99.7%, 74.5% and 85.0% spectively, while were 94.0%, 99.9%, 94.35%, 95.0%, respectively, in S2, and 4.0%, 0.2%, 19.9% and 10.0% higher than that in S1.

Given the large quantity discharge of nutrients in sewage, nitrogen and phosphorus is getting a worldwide concern. This manuscript assigned two different aeration modes of intermittent aeration/anoxia aeration and continuous aeration to study dissolved oxygen (DO) affecting contaminant removal, AGS granulation and microbial community diversity. The results demonstrated that intermittent aeration contributed to higher removal efficiencies of organics, nitrogen and phosphorus and faster granulation process, larger particle size, and more microbial communities than continuous aeration. The temporal lack of DO for intermittent aeration module did not only save approximately 40% energy but also change microbial communities. The intermittent aeration had no growth of filamentous bacteria and more microbial communities consist of Paracoccus, Delftia, Flavobacterium, Brevundimonas, Roseobacter_clade_CHAB-I-5_lineage, which accelerated AGS granulation, and Nitrosopumilus, Nitrospina, Facultative anaerobes, Pelagibacter and UKL 13-1 bacteria, which played crucial roles in N and P removal.

For four types of molecular Schiff inhibitors, the relationships between their corrosion inhibition efficiencies (IE) and some specific molecular property-related parameters, are investigated by using three different theoretical ab initio methods: Hartree-Fock (HF), Moller-Plesset perturbation theory on the 2nd order (MP2), and density functional theory (DFT). The parameters calculated include the energy of the highest occupied molecular orbital (E-HOMO), the energy of the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (E-L(UMO)), the energy difference between E-HOMO and E-LUMO (Delta E), the dipole moment (mu), the electronegativity value (x), the global hardness (eta), the softness (sigma), the fraction of transferred electrons between the molecular inhibitor and Fe (Delta N), and Mulliken atomic charges (Q). By using linear regression analysis, the relationships between IE and each of these parameters are carefully studied with the purpose to find the most effective parameters for the best inhibition efficiency. As a result, the comparison between the three different theoretical methods shows that the Hartree Fock (HF) method, with the 6-31++G(d, p) basis set, gives the most accurate results. In addition, the corrosion inhibition performances of all four molecular Schiff inhibitors show a linear relationship with the E-HOMO, E-LUMO, Delta E, mu,x, eta,sigma and Delta N parameters. In conclusion, this work provides a theoretical method by which it is possible to predict the corrosion inhibition performance of molecules with geometrical structures like the Schiff inhibitors.
