Old polyester fibre (OPF) was used for the first reported microbial flocculant (MBF) production by Diaphorobacter nitroreducens R9. Pretreatment of OPF was performed by different bases individually. The optimal pretreatment conditions were determined by total organic carbon (TOC) content of hydrolysate supernatants. Although all alkaline OPF-hydrolysate culture media were investigated for MBF production, KOH hydrolysate produced the highest yield. The influence of KOH OPF-hydrolysate culture condition factors were applied throughout the response surface methodology , and the optimal conditions with the maximum MBF yield (4.02 g/L) were 33.5 °C, pH 9.5, and hydrolysate TOC (4.416 g/L). Furthermore, the MBF was applied to treat polyester alkali-peeling wastewater (PAPW) for the first time, and the highest removal efficiency was achieved when 1.0 g/L MBF was added to PAPW. In general, this contribution reveals that KOH OPF-hydrolysate could be used as a potential inexpensive carbon source for production of MBF by sustainable processes that could reduce environmental pollution .

The biocathode bioelectrochemical system (bioc-BES) was used for p-nitrophenol (PNP) degradation with sodium bicarbonate as the carbon source. The PNP degradation efficiency in bioc-BES with applied voltage of 0.5 V reached 96.1% ± 0.5% within 72 h, which was much higher than that obtained in the biocathode BES without applied voltage (bioc-BES-NAP), open circuit biocathode BES (OC-bioc-BES) or abiotic cathode BES (abioc-BES). With the increase in the PNP concentration from 20 mg L−1 to 60 mg L−1, the PNP concentration of the effluent decreased from 21.66 ± 2.94 mg L−1 to 0.38 ± 0.1 mg L−1 in 48 h. The final reductive product of PNP was p-aminophenol (PAP) in the biocathode chamber. High-throughput 454 pyrosequencing showed that predominant populations in the biocathode biofilm of bioc-BES were affiliated with electrochemically active Delftia and Diaphorobacter, while Aminobacter was the predominant population in the biocathode biofilm of the bioc-BES-NAP and OC-bioc-BES. These results suggested that microbial electrocatalysis and electrochemically active bacteria on the cathodic electrode accelerated PNP degradation in the biocathode BES (bioc-BES). The biocathode BES will be a promising treatment technology for PNP-containing wastewater.

Using the flat module membrane electrodes based on polyester filter modified with polyaniline (PANI)–phytic acid (PA), a new type of membrane bio-reactor (MBR) system is developed for both bio-electrochemical electricity generation and effluent filtration. A specifically prepared carbon foam–Fe–Co catalyst was coated on the conductive, filterable cathode membrane which makes it catalytic for enhancing cathodic oxygen reduction reaction and electricity generation. The cell voltage (with carbon foam–Fe–Co, 0.5–0.4 V) is superior to control test 1 (without any catalyst, 0.2 V), moreover, it is even better than control test 2 (with Pt–C catalyst, 0.5–0.3 V). The corresponding maximum power density of carbon foam–Fe–Co is 38.5 and 2.4 times higher than control test 1 and 2, respectively. More importantly, the base electrode materials and catalyst were both low-cost. The overall removal efficiency of COD and NH4+–N are satisfactory, at 95% ± 2.5% and 85% ± 2.5%, respectively. This integrated system is easy to scale up for practical application in waste-water treatment and offers a better option in operating and coupling MBR with bio-electricity generation.

The misuse of antibiotics has increased the prevalence of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs), considered a class of critical environmental contaminants due to their ubiquitous and persistent nature. Previous studies reported the potentiality of bio-electro-Fenton processes for antibiotic removal and ARGs control. However, the production and fate of ARGs in bio-electro-Fenton processes triggered by microbial fuel cells are rare. In this study, the norfloxacin (NFLX) average residual concentrations within two days were 2.02, 6.07 and 14.84 mg/L, and the average removal efficiency of NFLX was 79.8 %, 69.6 % and 62.9 % at the initial antibiotic concentrations of 10, 20 and 40 mg/L, respectively. The most prevalent resistance gene type in all processes was the fluoroquinolone antibiotic gene. Furthermore, Proteobacteria was the dominant ARG-carrying bacteria. Overall, this study can provide theoretical support for the efficient treatment of high antibiotics-contained wastewater by bio-electro-Fenton systems to better control ARGs from the perspective of ecological security.
