In recent years, numerous studies have analyzed the nitrogen removal mechanism of biological nitrogen removal solely from the macro perspective of functional microbial community structure. However, exploring the biological nitrogen removal mechanism at the micro level and identifying measures to optimize its performance remains a challenging task. This article delves into an in-depth discussion on the functional microorganisms, key enzymes, and coding genes involved in nitrification/denitrification (N/DN), and anaerobic ammonium oxidation (anammox) processes. A series of optimization strategies have been summarized to improve nitrogen removal efficiency (NRE), considering microbial community structure, functional genes, and enzyme activity: (1) optimizing the competition and synergy among functional microorganisms, (2) bioaugmentation, and (3) utilizing exogenous additives. Furthermore, for the sustainable development of future biological nitrogen removal technologies, this review introduces the effects of changes in influent composition and key operating parameters on microbial community structure, functional gene expression levels, and enzyme activity during the N/DN processes and anammox process. Additionally, the challenges associated with N<sub>2</sub>O generation, the byproduct with the highest global warming potential generated by the N/DN processes and anammox process, are also discussed. This review will contribute to deepening our understanding of the principles of biological nitrogen removal, enhancing the performance of existing biological nitrogen removal systems, and reducing N<sub>2</sub>O emissions.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":15759,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Environmental Chemical Engineering","volume":"13 3","pages":"Article 116788"},"PeriodicalIF":7.4,"publicationDate":"2025-04-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143873678","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Electrokinetic remediation (EKR) has emerged as a promising technique for heavy metal removal; however, its conventional application is hindered by challenges such as soil heterogeneity, poor electric field distribution, pH imbalances, and high energy consumption. The study begins by exploring chromium-soil interactions, highlighting the chemical behavior of Cr in soil matrices and the complexities associated with its remediation. It then discusses the limitations of conventional EKR, particularly regarding soil properties, poor electric field distribution, pH imbalances, and energy consumption. A key focus is the integration of advanced materials—including nanomaterials, biochar, conductive polymers, biopolymers, and aerogels—into EKR systems to enhance their performance. These materials facilitate charge transfer, increase ionic conductivity, and act as electrochemical catalysts, improving electrode reactions and electroosmotic flow. Specifically, they function as reactive barriers, auxiliary electrodes, and mobility enhancers, enhancing contaminant desorption, redox transformations, and targeted Cr migration. Special attention is also given to three-dimensional electrokinetic remediation (3D-EKR) approach, which leverages these materials to generate a more uniform and intensified electric field, buffer pH fluctuations through redox-active surfaces, and increase contaminant removal efficiency by enabling selective ion transport and enhanced electrochemical interactions.

However, membrane abrasion has remained a relatively overlooked issue, despite the increasing global demand for freshwater production. This challenge is particularly significant for polymer-based membranes, such as those made from polyvinylidene fluoride, polyvinyl chloride and cellulose acetate. Since 2020, interest in developing abrasion-resistant ultrafiltration membranes has been growing. Unlike earlier reviews that emphasize fouling resistance, this paper focuses on the critical yet underexplored problem of membrane abrasion, providing a comprehensive comparison of recent strategies to improve membrane durability. Studies show that abrasion resistance can be enhanced through polymer or additive blending, surface coating/grafting, hot pressing (on nanofibers) and sandwich-structured designs—many of which also boost water flux, providing synergistic benefits. This review also examines the advantages and limitations of various fabrication and modification methods designed to enhance the abrasion resistance of polymeric membranes. However, despite promising lab-scale results, the long-term performance of these abrasion-resistant membranes under real-world conditions remains uncertain. While some studies report stable performance over extended testing periods, they often overlook that commercial membranes are expected to operate effectively for several years. Without long-term validation in practical settings, the durability of improved abrasion resistance remains questionable.
