The decolourisation and chemical oxygen demand (COD) reduction of the treated effluent were predicted on the basis of the three different input parameters pH, COD and colour value of the textile wastewater. The effectiveness of different machine learning algorithms, support vector machines (SVM), random forest (RF), gradient boost regressor (GBR), AdaBoost, extreme gradient boosting (XGB) regressor and voting regressor, were evaluated based on the correlation coefficient (<i>R</i><sup>2</sup>) value.

An increase in nitrogen load results in depletion of dissolved oxygen (DO), eutrophication, ecological stress, and biodiversity loss. Intake of water containing excess nitrate can cause different diseases. Conventional physicochemical nitrogen removal techniques are expensive and also generate secondary pollutants. In contrast, biological methods offer effective and economical outcomes with global acceptance. Biofilm-based techniques have the advantages of low space requirement, resistance toward toxic shocks, and absence of sludge backflow. The carriers used in biofilm reactors allow the growth of heterogeneous microbial consortia, which can simultaneously remove COD, nitrogenous compounds, and phosphates. This review aims to summarize the outcomes of the individual lab-scale research in this area, critically analyze the scientific findings, and understand the research gap. Conventional nitrification–denitrification and anammox have often been replaced by more efficient approaches such as simultaneous nitrification–denitrification, partial nitrification–denitrification, partial nitritation and anammox, and simultaneous partial nitrification, anammox, and denitrification. Multistage moving bed biofilm reactors have been specially designed with step feeding for complete nitrogen removal. Through anammox in a sequencing batch reactor, a high rate of denitrification could be obtained, whereas simultaneous nitrification–denitrification using a membrane bioreactor resulted in almost complete removal of nitrogen. We expect that this review will provide the direction for designing experiments on enhanced removal of nitrogen and COD from different wastewater sources using microbial biofilms.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":10306,"journal":{"name":"Clean-soil Air Water","volume":"52 12","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2024-11-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142867969","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"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 Bohai Sea near Tianjin features strong water closure and weak self-purification ability. The objective evaluation and analysis of pollution characteristics are crucial for assessing the quality of coastal seawater. This evaluation is essential for the sustainable development of traditional marine fisheries and serves as a powerful tool for government decision-making. To this end, we constructed an entropy weight‒grey correlation technique for order preference by similarity to an ideal solution (TOPSIS) model (EWGCT) based on the traditional TOPSIS evaluation approach to evaluate the water quality of five fishing ports and operation areas. The spatial distribution characteristics, pollution characteristics, and key impactful indicators were identified via a geographic information system (GIS) and multivariate statistical analysis. The results show that (1) the EWGCT has the ability to rank water quality universally and evaluate it based on the comprehensive impact of all pollution factors; (2) petroleum (PETRO) was affected mainly by the waste oil discharged, and suspended solids (SS), dissolved inorganic phosphate (DIP), and fecal coliform bacteria (FCB) were affected mainly by the domestic sewage discharged; and (3) effective management of fishing vessel discharge is important for ensuring the quality of the seawater environment. By establishing the EWGCT, the reliability and rationality of the evaluation results are verified, which can provide a reference for the formulation of development strategies for coastal cities.</p>","PeriodicalId":10306,"journal":{"name":"Clean-soil Air Water","volume":"53 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2024-11-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/clen.202300356","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143112877","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The experiment followed a split-plot design with two CETs in the main plots (permanent broad bed furrow, PBBF, and conventional tillage, CT) and eight ABMs, each with three replications.

Similarly, PBBF and microbial inoculation increased soil enzyme activities (dehydrogenase, acid phosphatase, and β-glucosidase), substrate-induced respiration, and microbial biomass carbon content. As a result, a higher soybean equivalent yield (5.59% higher in PBBF and 14.2% higher with foliar spray of Zn+Fe) and seed quality attributes (crude protein yield, grain Zn, and Fe) were observed in PBBF and the foliar spray of Zn and Fe treatments compared to CT and control, respectively.

The long-term (54 years) experiment laid out in a split-plot design comprising single (W) and dual (PW) applications of farmyard manure (FYM) (0, 5, 10, and 15 Mg ha<sup>−1</sup>) and nitrogen (0, 60, and 120 kg ha<sup>−1</sup>) was studied to understand the distribution of different Zn fractions in soil and their relationship to wheat grain yield and Zn uptake.

The different fractions of Zn in soil increased with increasing frequency and levels of FYM application. Residual Zn constituted the maximum proportion (89.03%) of total soil Zn. A high positive correlation (<i>p</i> < 0.01) of diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid (DTPA)-extractable Zn and total grain Zn content were observed with different Zn fractions. The release kinetics of native soil Zn increased up to 10 days and became almost constant, indicating the establishment of chemical equilibria between the soil solid and solution phase.

Therefore, improvement in the research and development (R & D) for detection and remediation techniques is critical to address the current challenge posed by the complex behavior of MPs. Understanding the transport behavior of MPs within drinking water treatment plants (DWTPs) is crucial to enhance the treatment processes of drinking water supply. The prevalence, fate, and circulation of MPs in freshwater ecosystems, coupled with its potential consequences for human health and climate change, have all been widely reported in scientific literature.
