The current understanding of drinking water distribution system (DWDS) microbiology is limited to pipe wall biofilm and bulk water; the contributions particle-associated bacteria (from suspended solids loose deposits) have long been neglected. Analyzing composition correlation bacterial communities from different phases helped us locate where most are understand interactions among these phases. In present study, four critical an unchlorinated DWDS, including water, biofilm, solids, deposits,...
Biochar application to croplands has been proposed as a potential strategy decrease losses of soil-reactive nitrogen (N) the air and water. However, extent spatial variability biochar function at global level are still unclear. Using Random Forest regression modelling machine learning based on data compiled from literature, we mapped impacts different types (derived wood, straw, or manure), their interactions with rates, soil properties, environmental factors, N (NH3 volatilization, N2 O...
Nanoplastics (NPs) are currently considered an environmental pollutant of concern, but the actual extent NP pollution in water bodies remains unclear and there is not enough quantitative data to conduct proper risk assessments. In this study, a pretreatment method combining ultrafiltration (UF, 100 kDa) with hydrogen peroxide digestion subsequent detection pyrolysis gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (Py-GC/MS) was developed used identify quantify six selected NPs surface (SW) groundwater...
The level of microplastics (MPs) in wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) has been well evaluated by the particle number, while mass concentration MPs and especially nanoplastics (NPs) remains unclear. In this study, pyrolysis gas chromatography–mass spectrometry was used to determine concentrations NPs with different size ranges (0.01–1, 1–50, 50–1000 μm) across whole schemes two WWTPs. total decreased from 26.23 11.28 μg/L influent 1.75 0.71 effluent, removal rates 93.3 93.7% A B,...
Micro- and nanoplastics (MNPs) are attracting increasing attention due to their persistence potential ecological risks. This review critically summarizes the effects of photo-oxidation on physical, chemical, biological behaviors MNPs in aquatic terrestrial environments. The core this paper explores how photo-oxidation-induced surface property changes affect adsorption toward contaminants, stability mobility water porous media, as well transport pollutants such organic (OPs) heavy metals...
Microplastics (MPs), miniscule plastic particles measuring less than 5 mm in size, have become a concern terrestrial ecosystems, with primarily agricultural and wetland soils being the highest loadings. The adverse effect of MPs might lead to changes physicochemical biological characteristics soil including properties, microbial communities, plants, as well potential or affirmed correlations among them. Therefore, understanding risks effects MPs, particularly within soil-plant-microbe...
Abstract Synthetic textiles are a significant source of microplastic fibre pollution. While the release mechanism during washing is well studied, little known about nanoplastics. The first investigations on nanoplastic fraction released and abrasion polyester have been published; however, questions were raised regarding chemical composition observed submicrometre particles. Using combination analytical methods, we show here that 12 different 4.6 × 10 to 8.9 11 particles per gram textile...
The general consensus is that the abundance of tap water bacteria greatly influenced by purification and distribution. Those are released from biofilm in distribution system especially considered as major potential risk for drinking bio-safety. For first time, this full-scale study has captured identified proportional contribution source water, treated shaping bacterial community based on their microbial fingerprints using Bayesian “SourceTracker” method. profiles diversity analyses...
The present work studies the improvement of Methylene Blue (MB) from aqueous solutions by an electrocoagulation (EC)/banana peel (BP) adsorption coupling process. kinetics this process was studied using different amounts adsorbent material in order to identify most appropriate dosage, for enhancing wastewater treatment. influence current density on removal efficiency and energy consumption EC/BP also determined. between BP showed that addition dosage resulted enhancement rate dyes especially...
This study advances our understanding of how to regain a balance between satisfying human demands and maintaining ecosystems.
Biofilm formation, loose deposit accumulation and water quality deterioration in drinking distribution systems have been widely reported. However, the of harbored elements microbes different niches (loose deposits, PVC-U biofilm, HDPE biofilm) their corresponding potential contribution to remain unknown. This precludes an in-depth understanding development proactive management strategies. The present study quantitatively evaluated elements, ATP, Aeromonas spp., bacterial communities pipes...
Molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) is a prevalent cocatalyst for peroxymonosulfate (PMS) activation with iron-based materials. The contribution of molybdenum atoms in MoS2 to iron regeneration during PMS has been broadly known, though the role sulfur remains explored. Here, we applied one-step, facile means prepare particulate Fe3O4 supported by wrinkled discernible vacancies (SV), forming flower-like Fe3O4–MoS2 composite catalyst. We demonstrated, first time, strong affinity SV PMS, facilitating...
Abstract Over time, the relative effects of elevated [CO 2 ] on aboveground photosynthesis, growth and development rice ( Oryza sativa L.) are likely to be changed with increasing duration CO exposure, but resultant belowground responses remain evaluated. To investigate impacts seasonal changes in root growth, morphology physiology rice, a free‐air enrichment (FACE) experiment was performed at Wuxi, Jiangsu, China, 2002–2003. A japonica cultivar large panicle exposed two (ambient ], 370 μmol...
Lithium/aluminum layered double hydroxides (Li/Al-LDHs) were synthesized via a facile hydrothermal route, using lithium and aluminum chloride mixed solutions with various molar ratios (Li+/Al3+ = 2, 3, 4, 5) as precursors urea precipitating agent. The structure, morphology, textural properties of the calcined Li/Al-LDHs (Li/Al-CLDHs) characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, transmission high-resolution nitrogen adsorption-desorption. It was found that...
