Microplastics are widely identified in aquatic environments, but their impacts on phytoplankton have not been extensively studied. Here, the responses of Chlorella pyrenoidosa under polystyrene (PS) microplastics exposure were studied across its whole growth period, with microplastic sizes of 0.1 an...

The processes of (n)ZVI/AC（（nano）zero valent iron/activated carbon）micro-electrolysis were applied for nitrate removal from groundwater, aiming to reduce nitrate to N2, an environmentally friendly end product. (n)ZVI was utilized and combined with selected commercial AC to form the micro-electrolysi...

This study aims to enhance hydrolysis and anaerobic digestion of corn cob (CC) by using food waste (FW) pretreatment. FW, which tends to be acidification in fermentation, was applied in this process as an acid-like agent to accelerate lignocellulose hydrolysis, aiming to promote methane yield in fur...

This study evaluated the digestive performance of excess sludge and different crop straws. Methane production, hydrolytic and acidogenic performance of different substrates were specially focused. Results showed that wheat straw presented the highest experimental biochemical methane potential (BMP, ...

The effect of turbulence on phytoplankton growth has been widely studied; however, its effects with respects to suspended particulate matter (SPM) on the development of phytoplankton communities and the behavioral responses of phytoplankton to turbulence and SPM are poorly understood. Here, an appro...

In excess sludge digestion, organic matters cannot be digested adequately due to its high lignocellulose content. This study attempted to comprehensively evaluate the digestive performances of sludge with different lignocellulosic components (hemicellulose, cellulose and lignin). Results show that h...

There are large amounts of waste activated sludge (WAS) and kitchen waste (KW) produced every year in China. It has been confirmed that anaerobic co-digestion is an effective method to solve this problem. The targets of the present study were optimizing the digestive performances and clearing of the...

Abstract Phytoplankton density can be influenced by a wide range of factors whereas the role of suspended particulate matter (SPM) are not clear in river that annually subjected to hydrodynamics shift. Here, spatial-temporal variation of environmental parameters and phytoplankton density were studie...

Anthropogenic activities can cause serious negative effects on ecosystems. Despite the ecological significance of bacterial communities, the integrated biogeography of planktonic and sedimentary bacterial communities in response to anthropogenic activities is not adequately understood. Here, we exam...

Depleted oxygen (O2) in the sediment and overlying water of malodorous black water poses a potential threat to aquatic ecosystems. This study presents a method for sustainable regulation of the dissolved oxygen (DO) levels towards the malodorous black water. Oxygen-loaded natural porous materials we...

Anodic mixotrophic denitrification microbial fuel cell (MFC) was developed for pollutants removal and electricity generation in treatment of low C/N domestic wastewater. The experimental results show that the MFC achieved up to 100% of acetate, 100% of sulfide, and more than 91% of nitrate removal e...

Aims Unusually low temperatures associated with heavy rain,snow and frost occurred in 19 provinces in southern China in January–February 2008. Our objectives were to evaluate the impact of the cold weather event on mangroves and to compare differences in cold tolerance between exotic and native mang...

Electrotrophic denitrification is a promising novel nitrogen removal technique. In this study, the performance and the mechanism of electrotrophic denitrification coupled with sulfate-sulfide cycle were investigated under different anodic influent COD/SO42- ratios. The results showed that electrotro...

Actually, only two pangolin species occur naturally in China, namely the Chinese pangolin (Manis pentadactyla) and the Sunda pangolin (Manis javanica). The Sunda pangolin was found to occur naturally in Yunnan, China, but only with a narrow distribution in the Xishuangbanna and Pu'er City. The India...
