Wastewater generated from corn starch processing exhibits high chemical oxygen demand (COD) and elevated concentrations of nitrogen and phosphorus, and is typically treated using combined anaerobic-aerobic processes. However, effluent from secondary biological treatment still contains considerable phosphorus, with PO₄^3--P concentrations exceeding 70 mg/L. Consequently, implementing water and phosphorus recovery processes as an alternative to conventional chemical removal methods aligns with circular economy principles and supports sustainable development goals. This study investigated the feasibility of recovering phosphorus and water from the effluent of secondary sedimentation tanks in corn starch processing wastewater using a forward osmosis-hydroxyapatite (FO-HAP) combined process and optimized the operational parameters. In the FO unit, the phosphorus concentration increased 5.9-fold compared to the feed water, reaching a PO₄^3--P level of 210.2 mg/L, with a water recovery rate of 80 %. In the HAP-induced crystallization unit, phosphorus removal efficiency reached 98 %, and the purity of the synthesized HAP was 75 % under optimal conditions (stirring intensity of 200 rpm, pH of 10, Ca/P molar ratio of 3). Overall, the FO-HAP combined process provides an effective approach for recovering phosphorus and water from secondary effluent in corn starch processing, offering both a practical technical solution and a theoretical basis for wastewater treatment and resource utilization in the industry.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":11725,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Technology & Innovation","volume":"39 ","pages":"Article 104277"},"PeriodicalIF":6.7,"publicationDate":"2025-05-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144114977","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"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}

Ion-adsorption deposits (IADs) represent the primary sources of heavy REEs, yet their mining has caused severe environmental impacts. Electrokinetic mining (EKM), a sustainable alternative, promises efficient REE recovery from IADs. However, the electrokinetic transport mechanisms of REEs in IADs remain unclear, and predictive models are lacking. Here, we develop an integrated EKM (IEKM) model that rigorously incorporates coupled effects of diffusion, convection, electromigration, electroosmosis, and electrolysis to resolve REE transport in IADs. The IEKM model was validated using a 14-ton-scale IAD EKM, accurately simulating REE and leaching agent (NH₄⁺) ion transport. The predicted REE recovery efficiency is 80.97 % after 11 days of EKM, aligning with experimental results (88.28 ± 17.00 %).

Unexpectedly, electromigration emerges as the dominant mechanism governing REE electrokinetic transport in IADs with significant influence by electrolysis, while electroosmosis exhibits negligible contribution, contradicting conventional expectations. Furthermore, electrolysis consumed 57.95 % of input energy due to water splitting, leaving only 42.05 % for direct REE transport.

Notably, the GTM hybrid photocatalyst demonstrated a high-rate constant (k) of 0.174 min⁻¹ , surpassing that of the bare TiO₂ (k = 0.030 min⁻¹) and MnO₂ (k = 0.047 min⁻¹) photocatalysts.

The enhanced photocatalytic performance of the GTM hybrid can be attributed to the improved charge carrier separation, augmented surface area, and 2D/2D/1D heterojunction formation.

In this study, the impact of functional membrane coverage (FM) on the transformation of nitrogen and sulfur compounds during sludge composting was studied, along with an investigation into the microbial mechanisms underlying nitrogen and sulfur cycling. The results showed that nitrite ammonification, nitrite oxidation, and nitrate reduction were the main nitrogen transformation steps during the early days of composting. In the middle and later stages, the denitrification intensified, leading to a decrease in available nitrogen content. Sulfate reduction, sulfide oxidation, and thiosulfate dispropotionation constituted the primary sulfur transformation steps, with thiosulfate oxidation intensity gradually increasing. FM inhibited denitrification, sulfite reduction, and thiosulfate dispropotionation, thereby reducing nitrogen and sulfur loss by 14.1 % and 8.1 %, respectively, and increasing available nitrogen and available sulfur content by 14.9 % and 9.6 %, respectively.
