TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of Dechlorane Plus (DPs), an organochlorine aliphatic flame retardant, on waste-activated sludge anaerobic fermentation was investigated.
Abstract: The effect of emerging pollutant Dechlorane Plus (DPs), an organochlorine aliphatic flame retardant, on waste-activated sludge anaerobic fermentation was investigated, and the related mechanisms were revealed for the first time. The results of this experiment suggested that the presence of DPs had a significant inhibitory effect on sludge anaerobic fermentation to generate the intermediate valuable product short-chain fatty acids (SCFA), and when the DP content was 3034.1±101.7 mg/kg total suspended solids (TSS), the maximal output of SCFA was only 215.04 mg/g, which was 0.47 times of that in the blank. The underlying mechanism investigation indicated DPs promoted the disintegration of sludge, but inhibited the process of hydrolysis and acidification. DPs inhibited the release of soluble bound extracellular polymers (SB-EPS) in sludge. The analysis of microbial community characteristics indicated that DPs reduced the level of Firmicutes and Actinobacteriathe, which were the key acid producing bacteria. At the genus level, DPs reduced the relative abundance of Proteiniclasticum and Mycobacteriumwas.

TL;DR: The ecotoxicological studies of both drugs imply that they do not easily cause acute toxic effects at their environmental concentrations, however their chronic effects need cautious attention.

TL;DR: Investigation revealed that the formation of SCFA at pH 10.0 was dominated by biological effects rather than by chemical hydrolysis, so the SCFAs production from excess sludge could be significantly improved and maintained stable by controlling the fermentation pH at 10.
Abstract: The production of short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) from excess sludge was conducted in batch fermentation tests at different pH values ranging from 4.0 to 11.0. Experimental results of the impacts of different pHs on SCFAs production showed that during the first 8-day fermentation time the total SCFAs production at either pH 9.0 or pH 10.0 was much greater than that at acidic or neutral pH, and the maximal yield of 256.2 mg SCFAs−COD per gram of volatile suspended solids (VSS) was at pH 10.0, which was, respectively, over 3 and 4 times that at pH 5.0 and uncontrolled pH. Clearly, SCFAs production from excess sludge could be significantly improved and maintained stable by controlling the fermentation pH at 10.0. The composition of SCFAs and the percent distribution of individual SCFAs accounting for total SCFAs at pH 10.0 were analyzed. The SCFAs consisted of acetic, propionic, iso-butyric, n-butyric, iso-valeric, and n-valeric acids, and acetic acid was the most prevalent product with a fraction of 40−55%....
