Here, wedeveloped a novel BES to investigate how applied voltage and activatedcarbon (AC) interact to regulate sulfate reduction and Hg(II) methylationkinetics in sediments from a sulfate-impacted stream. Methylationpotentials did not track bulk sulfate reduction across treatments:AC suppressed methylation by up to 80%, applied voltage stimulatedsulfate reduction but slightly decreased methylation in AC–mesocosms, and the combined AC and voltage treatment maintained methylationat levels comparable to voltage alone. This observation was reflectedin shifts among methylating taxa. Desulfobulbus,a genus capable of direct electron transfer to graphite electrodes,was preferentially enriched in RNA relative to DNA across all mesocosms,and the hgcAB genes associated with Geobacteraceae were elevated under applied voltage. These results indicate thatapplied voltage enriches electroactive Hg methylators rather thanbroadly stimulating SRB activity, a process that may be facilitatedby electron conduction through AC.

This study examined the impact ofinternal and external socioeconomic transition on water use changesin five major African countries (Egypt, South Africa, Ethiopia, Nigeria,and Cameroon) during 2000–2021. The results indicate that totalwater use of emerging African countries (Ethiopia, Nigeria, and Cameroon)has increased, with rising final demand level in East Asia and thePacific (EAP) constituting the dominant driver of this growth. Incontrast, technological progress within the selected African countrieshas reduced water use intensity and thereby partially offset the upwardpressure on water use. Changes in external production and consumptionstructures, particularly adjustments in the European Union’sproduction structure, have further contributed to reductions in Africanwater use, with the associated water-saving effect being approximatelytwice as large as that of internal production structure changes.

Interestingly, thekinetic model predicts that lower electrocoagulation currents yieldhigher ferryl ion concentrations. Further, increased electrocoagulationtime results in faster consumption of the ferryl ion after the electrocoagulationstep.
