Abstract
In this study, a laboratory-scale zero-valent iron (ZVI)-enhanced hydrolytic acidification system was established to treat the comprehensive wastewater from Nanjing Jiangbei New Material Science Technology Park. Results indicated that the ZVI-enhanced hydrolytic acidification system achieved a maximum COD removal efficiency of 95.0 %, surpassing the performance of the system without ZVI by 12.2 %. Microbial community analysis revealed the enrichment of electrogenic bacterium Bacteroidetes_vadinHA17 and typical hydrogenotrophic methanogen Methanobacterium due to ZVI addition. High-throughput sequencing combined with PICRUSt2 analysis demonstrated acetate production was promoted, and butyrate and propionate production was inhibited. Additionally, Oxygen Uptake Rate-based toxicity assays revealed the hydrolytic acidification system transitioned the wastewater of three enterprises from low toxicity to non-toxic status and two from high to low toxicity. While the ZVI-enhanced hydrolytic acidification system successfully reduced the toxicity of all highly and low toxic wastewaters to non-toxic levels.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Environmental Chemical Engineering (JECE) serves as a platform for the dissemination of original and innovative research focusing on the advancement of environmentally-friendly, sustainable technologies. JECE emphasizes the transition towards a carbon-neutral circular economy and a self-sufficient bio-based economy. Topics covered include soil, water, wastewater, and air decontamination; pollution monitoring, prevention, and control; advanced analytics, sensors, impact and risk assessment methodologies in environmental chemical engineering; resource recovery (water, nutrients, materials, energy); industrial ecology; valorization of waste streams; waste management (including e-waste); climate-water-energy-food nexus; novel materials for environmental, chemical, and energy applications; sustainability and environmental safety; water digitalization, water data science, and machine learning; process integration and intensification; recent developments in green chemistry for synthesis, catalysis, and energy; and original research on contaminants of emerging concern, persistent chemicals, and priority substances, including microplastics, nanoplastics, nanomaterials, micropollutants, antimicrobial resistance genes, and emerging pathogens (viruses, bacteria, parasites) of environmental significance.
