TL;DR: Detailed analyses of reactor performance showed that the hydroquinone pathway might be the main route in the aerobic degradation of PNP, and two integrated membrane-aerated bioreactor systems were constructed to enhance PNP biodegradation.

TL;DR: By coupling biological treatment and two high rejection membrane processes, the OMBR-MD hybrid system could effectively remove all 30 trace organic contaminants of significant concern investigated here and produce high quality water.
Abstract: In this study, we demonstrate the potential of an osmotic membrane bioreactor (OMBR)–membrane distillation (MD) hybrid system for simultaneous wastewater reuse and seawater desalination. A stable OMBR water flux of approximately 6 L m–2 h–1 was achieved when using MD to regenerate the seawater draw solution. Water production by the MD process was higher than that from OMBR to desalinate additional seawater and thus account for draw solute loss due to the reverse salt flux. Amplicon sequencing on the Miseq Illumina platform evidenced bacterial acclimatization to salinity build-up in the bioreactor, though there was a reduction in the bacterial community diversity. In particular, 18 halophilic and halotolerant bacterial genera were identified with notable abundance in the bioreactor. Thus, the effective biological treatment was maintained during OMBR–MD operation. By coupling biological treatment and two high rejection membrane processes, the OMBR–MD hybrid system could effectively remove (>90%) all 30 trac...

TL;DR: CGSFDMBR presented good performance in treating septic tank wastewater, obtaining average COD, NH(4)(+)-N, TN and TP removal rates of 83.3%, 73.3% and 60%, respectively, which was more efficient than conventional bioreactors since that carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus were simultaneously removed in a single aerobic reactor.

TL;DR: A constant, continuous acetic acid production for over 1000 h was established using the membrane-filtration type reactor and a productivity of 149 g l−1 d−1 was established at high cell density and this value is promising for the future industrial application of this bioreactor.

TL;DR: The sugars in extracts of dates were converted into ethanol by S. cerevisiae and the subsequent production of acetic acid from the fermented date juice was conducted with Acetobacter aceti, with results more than eight times better than that of a batch process.
