Abstract
Fluoride is one of the essential trace elements for the human body, but excessive fluoride will cause serious environmental and health problems. This paper summarizes researches on the removal of fluoride from aqueous solutions using newly developed or improved biomass materials and biomass-like organic materials in recent years. These biomass materials are classified into chitosan, microorganisms, lignocellulose plant materials, animal attribute materials, biological carbonized materials and biomass-like organic materials, which are explained and analyzed. By comparing adsorption performance and mechanism of adsorbents for removing fluoride, it is found that carbonizing materials and modifying adsorbents with metal ions are more beneficial to improving adsorption efficiency and the adsorption mechanisms are various. The adsorption capacities are still considerable after regeneration. This paper not only reviews the properties of these materials for fluoride removal, but also focuses on the comparison of materials performance and fluoride removal mechanism. Herein, by discussing the improved adsorption performance and research technology development of biomass materials and biomass-like organic materials, various innovative ideas are provided for adsorbing and removing contaminants.

Abstract
A bacterium Ochrobactrum sp. GMC12, capable of biomineralization and denitrification, was employed to investigate the performance and mechanism of heavy metals removal. A chia seeds (Salvia hispanica) gum was proposed as a synergist for the first time. The results showed that strain GMC12 reduced Ca2+, Cd2+, Zn2+, and nitrate by 83.38, 98.89, 98.95, and 100% (2.09, 0.29, 0.55, and 0.79 mg L-1 h-1), respectively, over 96 h continuous determination experiments. The concentration gradient test revealed that strain GMC12 would effectively remove Cd2+ and Zn2+ by 99.80 and 99.91% (0.67 and 1.35 mg L-1 h-1), respectively, under the synergistic effect of gum (1.0%, w/v). The SEM-EDS and XRD manifested that Ca2+, HMs ions, and anionic groups coated on the bacteria surface to form CaCO3, Ca5(PO4)3OH, CdCO3, Cd5(PO4)3OH, ZnCO3, and Zn2(PO4)OH. The fluorescence spectrometry and fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectra illustrated that extracellular polymeric substance (EPS) was the key product for the nucleation site of bacteria, and the gum promoted the accumulation of bio-precipitates and accelerated the removal of HMs. In this research, Ochrobactrum sp. GMC12 exhibited great potential in wastewater treatment and chia seeds gum would go deep into material preparation and wastewater treatment due to its non-toxic nature, high viscosity, and advantageous morphology.

Abstract
ABSTRACTThe removal of nitrate (NO3--N) from water bodies under the conditions of poor nutrition and low carbon to nitrogen (C/N) ratio is a widespread problem. In this study, modified corn stalk (CS) was used to immobilize Burkholderia sp. CF6 with cellulose-degrading and denitrifying abilities. The optimal operating parameters of the bioreactor were explored. The results showed that under the hydraulic retention time (HRT) of 3 h and the C/N ratio of 2.0, the maximum nitrate removal efficiency was 96.75%. In addition, the organic substances in the bioreactor under different C/N ratios and HRT were analyzed by three-dimensional fluorescence excitation-emission mass spectrometry (3D-EEM), and it was found that the microorganisms have high metabolic activity. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) showed that the new material has excellent immobilization effects. Fourier transform infrared spectrometer (FTIR) showed that it has potential as a solid carbon source. Through high-throughput sequencing analysis, Burkholderia sp. CF6 was observed as the main bacteria present in the bioreactor. These research results showed that the use of waste corn stalks waste provides a theoretical basis for the advanced treatment of low C/N ratio wastewater.

Abstract
This study integrated spores and magnetite (Fe3O4) to form magnetic mycelium pellets (MMP) as bio-carriers immobilized with denitrifying bacteria in a bioreactor. Different carbon-to-nitrogen (C/N) ratios and hydraulic retention time (HRT) were established for investigating the performance of the bioreactor. The nitrate removal efficiency was 98.14% at C/N = 2.0 and HRT = 6 h. Gas chromatography (GC) results indicated that the main component of the produced gas was N2. Fe3O4 was well-integrated into MMP according to X-ray diffraction (XRD) results and infrared spectrometer (FTIR) analysis. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) showed that bacteria were successfully immobilized on MMP. Fluorescence excitation-emission matrix (EEM) indicated that functional bacteria GF2 might enhance the metabolic activity of the microbial community in the bioreactor and microbial activity was highest at C/N = 2.0. Pseudomonas stutzeri sp. GF2 might be immobilized and had a major role in the bioreactor according to high throughput sequencing results.
