    Abstract Although rotten banana (RB) has been proved as a superior carbon source for denitrification, how to maintain its effectiveness while reduce the depressing transportation expenses deserves for more considerations. In this study, a modified carbon source-RB powder (RBP) was prepared and utilized for treating nitrate in wastewater. Results indicated that RBP, equipped with rapid organic release and low residual properties, could achieve a maximum nitrate removal rate of 96.79% and inapparent nitrite accumulation with a denitrification rate higher than RB slurry. Supplementing RBP improved the long-term stability of sludge in the denitrification system while the dosage served as a promoting factor towards sludge dewatering performance but a limiting factor towards system stability. The breeding of unique bacteria was easily altered by increasing nitrate load, contributing to the combined denitrification via various microorganisms. Meanwhile, the phyla and genera related to denitrification and organic fermentation were effectively enriched by improving RBP dosage. Compared with RB slurry and sodium acetate, less denitrification cost would be obtained by RBP when the usage amount respectively exceeded 7.31 tons and 228.18–555.56 tons. All the results demonstrated that RBP would be selected as a more cost-efficient choice for denitrification in view of practical applications.

    Abstract The application of anaerobic digestion (AD) in the treatment of food waste (FW) has become widespread. However, the presence of inert substances, such as bones, ceramics, and shells, within FW introduces a degree of uncertainty into the AD process. To clarify this intricate issue, this study conducted an in-depth investigation into the influence of inert substances on AD. The results revealed that when inert substances were present at a concentration of 0.08 g/g VSS, methane productivity in the AD process was significantly augmented by 86%. Subsequent investigations suggested that this positive effect was primarily evident in various biochemical processes, including solubilization, hydrolysis acidification, methanogenesis, and the accumulation of extracellular polymeric substances. Metagenomic analysis showed that inert substances enhance the relative abundance of hydrolytic bacteria and have a pronounced impact on the relative abundance of hydrogenotrophic methanogens (Methanosarcina) and acetotrophic methanogens (Methanobacterium). Additionally, inert substances significantly increased the relative abundance of functional genes in oxidative phosphorylation, a pivotal pathway for ATP synthesis. Furthermore, inert substances had a substantial effect on the functional genes related to the metabolic pathways associated with methanogenesis (both hydrogenotrophic and acetotrophic). This comprehensive study shed light on the substantial impact of inert substances on the AD of food waste, contributing to an enhanced understanding of the underlying mechanisms of anaerobic fermentation.

    Abstract The properties of leachate from refuse transfer stations (RTSs) in rural China were indefinite. In this study, a total of 14 leachate samples from RTSs in nine provinces of China were characterized for their pH, electric conductivity, chromaticity, concentration of organic substances, nitrogen distribution, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), organic phosphorous pesticide, and heavy metals. The structural composition of fluorescent dissolved organic matter (FDOM) was also determined. To evaluate the leachate pollution potential in this study, a leachate pollution index was derived and used. Chromium (Cr) was the most polluting heavy metal present in rural leachate. Ethanol and ethyl acetate were the most frequently detected VOCs at high concentrations. Three-dimensional fluorescence excitation-emission matrix spectra were used to characterize the FDOM. Three components, tryptophan (C₁), tyrosine-like (C₂), and humic acid– and fulvic acid–like (C₃) substances, were identified from all 14 samples. Tryptophan was the major component of FDOM and present in 45.7% of the samples by calculating the fluorescence intensity percentage, on average. Pearson correlations revealed that the fluorescence intensity of C₁ and C₃ was strongly related to soluble chemical oxygen demand and dissolved oxygen carbon, while C₂ had significant positive correlations with ammonia nitrogen and total phosphorus of the solid waste. This study provided detailed data and findings that could serve as a preliminary basis for broadening options for the treatment and management of leachate from rural RTSs in China.

    Abstract Strong oxidants can reduce the emission of NH₃ during composting. But as a commonly used oxidant, the influence of persulfate on nitrogen transformation during composting is unclear. In this study, the effects of 0.3 %–1.2 % potassium persulfate (PS) on nitrogen losses and microbial community during air-dried cow manure composting were investigated. The results showed that PS could reduce nitrogen losses compared to the control. This was because it decreased pH and the maximum NH₄⁺-N content of treatments, which was beneficial to nitrogen retention. In addition, Pseudoxanthomonas and Chelativorans were enriched compared to the control, which might be associated with NH₄⁺-N transformation and nitrogen fixation. Meanwhile, PS increased the abundance of thermophilic lignocellulose degrading bacteria, and 0.3 % and 0.6 % PS increased the maximum temperature and the duration of the thermophilic period. This study indicated that PS could reduce nitrogen losses in composting and greatly influence nitrogen transforming and lignocellulose degrading bacteria.

    Abstract Biochar has attracted great interest in both CO₂ capture and supercapacitor applications due to its unique physicochemical properties and low cost. Fabrication of eco-friendly and cost-effective biochar from high potential biomass Tenebrio molitor feces can not only realize the functional application of waste, but also a potential way of future carbon capture and energy storage technology. In this study, a novel KOH activation waste-fed Tenebrio molitor feces biochar (TMFB) was developed and investigated in terms of CO₂ capture and electrochemical performance. When activated at 700 °C for 1 h, the specific surface area of the feces biochar (TMFB-700A) increased significantly from 232.1 to 2081.8 m² g⁻¹. In addition, well-developed pore distribution facilitates CO₂ capture and electrolyte diffusion. TMFB-700A can quickly adsorb a large amount of CO₂ (3.05 mol kg⁻¹) with excellent recycling performance. TMFB-700A also exhibited promising electrochemical performance (335.8 F g⁻¹ at 0.5 A g⁻¹) and was used as electrode material in a symmetrical supercapacitor. It provided a high energy density of 33.97 W h kg⁻¹ at a power density of 0.25 kW kg⁻¹ with 90.47% capacitance retention after 10 000 charge–discharge cycles. All the results demonstrated that TMFB could be a potential bifunctional material and provided valuable new insights for Tenebrio molitor feces high-value utilization.

    Abstract Concentrated leachate (CL), characterized with high content salts and compositional complexity of dissolved organic matter (DOM), is difficult to degrade. Understanding the CL from molecular insight level is the requirement for further disposal based on their components. Here, typical CL samples were collected from the multi-stage membrane separation process in a large-scale leachate plant, including nanofiltration (NF), primary ultrafiltration (PUF), secondary nanofiltration (SNF), and reverse osmosis (RO). More than 95% of DOM was removed from raw CL, of which about 3/4 flowed into PUFCL and 1/5 flowed into SNFCL. DOM with macro-molecular weight (>500 Da, 30.46%) and highly unsaturated compounds (double-bond equivalents >15) were detected in PUFCL. Nearly half of DOM was CHO-only compounds (42.04%) in SNFCL. PUFCL was abundant in heteroatom species with higher-order oxygen (O ≥ 10), which was coincident with the trend of humic substance distribution (humic substance >1/2). Based on these properties results, advanced oxidation processes, such as ozonation, might be the right process for SNFCL rich in heteroatom species with low-order oxygen (O < 10). Abundant disulfides (S₂O₂₋₆ classes, 20.19%) and monovalent salts existed in ROCL, which should be removed from the system. These findings might provide basic information for the treatment of CLs from different membranes.

    Abstract Mature landfill leachate (MLL) would be a tough nut to crack, how to realize waste reclamation while deal with the intractable by-products deserves for more considerations. In this study, a novel system, equipped with two biological trickle reactors developed by inert wastes and a connected organic feeder using waste-recycling rotten banana powder, was established for treating MLL. Results indicated that superior pollutant removal performance and long-term stability were achieved by this system, with only COD and TN concentrations slightly higher than the relevant standard limits. But the shortage about poor resistance to shock pollution loads, was underlined by the fluctuation of water quality. Anaerobic condition and carbon source supplementation contributed to more microbial similarities but less community richness and diversity among inert fillings, and the selective enrichment of denitrification and organic-degrading strains simultaneously occurred. The comparisons with common processes demonstrated that this system was a cost-efficient choice for MLL treatment.
