TL;DR: It is confirmed that polystyrene microplastics can impair but then enhance algae growth, which will be helpful in understanding the ecological risks of microplastic.

TL;DR: In this article, the ZnCoOx-2 presented the kinetic constant of 0.538 min−1 for Rhodamine B removal, which is 14.2 times higher than that of undoped sample and 38.4 times higher that of commercial Co3O4.

TL;DR: Co-digestion of residual sludge and different lignocellulosic wastes including greening waste, decocted Chinese herbs waste and sugarcane bagasse waste was investigated in batch digester and results show that the application of GW presented the highest specific methane yield due to its high carbohydrate fraction and more balanced C/N ratio in co-substrate mixture.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors tried to add green waste (GW) as co-substrate into RS/KW co-digestive system to improve methane production and system stability, and the results showed that K4 group (RS:KW:GW) provided the highest specific methane yield of 303.4mL/g VS, as well as the highest acetic acid (HAc) concentration at the primary stage.

TL;DR: The joint efforts of the bacterium and its metabolite accomplished the sustainable removal of algae and MC-LR, the first report of a single bacterial strain that achieves these dual actions.
