TL;DR: New insights into the operation of compost bioreactors used to remediate mine waters are revealed and it is shown that, when operated under appropriate conditions, they can be highly efficient at generating alkalinity and removing metals from extremely acidic, metal-rich AMD.

TL;DR: New technological opportunities are emerging for anaerobic digestion, aided by an improved understanding of microbiological and environmental factors affecting the formation and activity of anaerobia granular sludge.
Abstract: Anaerobic digestion is a mature wastewater treatment technology, with worldwide application. The predominantly applied bioreactor designs, such as the upflow anaerobic sludge blanket and expanded granular sludge bed, are based on the spontaneous formation of granular sludge. Despite the exploitation of granular reactors at full-scale for more than two decades, the mechanisms of granulation are not completely understood and numerous theories have been put forward to describe the process from a biological, ecological and engineering point of view. New technological opportunities are emerging for anaerobic digestion, aided by an improved understanding of microbiological and environmental factors affecting the formation and activity of anaerobic granular sludge.

TL;DR: In this study, pharmaceutical wastewater with high total dissolved solids (TDSs) and chemical oxygen demand (COD) content was treated through a sequential anaerobic-aerobic treatment process, and the UASB+MBR system showed better performance in both organic removal and nitrification.

TL;DR: A simple model is developed by which biomass values in continuous operation can be predicted from kinetic growth parameters obtained from a shorter batch experiment and can be successfully predicted as a function of the specific hydraulic retention time (HRT) assumed.
