Abstract
Despite their longstanding use in environmental remediation, constructed wetlands (CWs) are still topical due to their sustainable and nature-based approach. While research and review publications have grown annually by 7.5 % and 37.6 %, respectively, from 2018 to 2022, a quantitative meta-analysis employing advanced statistics and machine learning to assess CWs has not yet been conducted. Further, traditional statistics of mean ± standard deviation could not convey the extent of confidence or uncertainty in results from CW studies. This study employed a 95 % bootstrap-based confidence interval and out-of-bag Random Forest-based driver analysis on data from 55 studies, totaling 163 cases of pilot and full-scale CWs. The study recommends, with 95 % confidence, median surface hydraulic loading rates (HLR) of 0.14 [0.11, 0.17] m/d for vertical flow-CWs (VF) and 0.13 [0.07, 0.22] m/d for horizontal flow-CWs (HF), and hydraulic retention time (HRT) of 125.14 [48.0, 189.6] h for VF, 72.00 [42.00, 86.28] h for HF, as practical for new CW design. Permutation importance results indicate influent COD impacted primarily on COD removal rate at 21.58 %, followed by HLR (16.03 %), HRT (12.12 %), and substrate height (H) (10.90 %). For TN treatment, influent TN and COD were the most significant contributors at 12.89 % and 10.01 %, respectively, while H (9.76 %), HRT (9.72 %), and HLR (5.87 %) had lower impacts. Surprisingly, while HRT and H had a limited effect on COD removal, they substantially influenced TN. This study sheds light on CWs' performance, design, and control factors, guiding their operation and optimization.

Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic has caused significant disruptions to the world since 2020, with over 647 million confirmed cases and 6.7 million reported deaths as of January 2023. Despite its far-reaching impact, the effects of COVID-19 on the progress of global climate change negotiations have yet to be thoroughly evaluated. This discussion paper conducts an examination of COVID-19's impact on climate change actions at global, national, and local levels through a comprehensive review of existing literature. This analysis reveals that the pandemic has resulted in delays in implementing climate policies and altered priorities from climate action to the pandemic response. Despite these setbacks, the pandemic has also presented opportunities for accelerating the transition to a low-carbon economy. The interplay between these outcomes and the different levels of governance will play a crucial role in determining the success or failure of future climate change negotiations.

Abstract
Despite the high lethality of colorectal cancers (CRCs), only a limited number of genetic risk factors are identified. The mammalian ssDNA-binding protein complex CTC1-STN1-TEN1 protects genome stability, yet its role in tumorigenesis is unknown. Here, we show that attenuated CTC1/STN1 expression is common in CRCs. We generated an inducible STN1 knockout mouse model and found that STN1 deficiency in young adult mice increased CRC incidence, tumor size, and tumor load. CRC tumors exhibited enhanced proliferation, reduced apoptosis, and elevated DNA damage and replication stress. We found that STN1 deficiency down-regulated multiple DNA glycosylases, resulting in defective base excision repair (BER) and accumulation of oxidative damage. Collectively, this study identifies STN1 deficiency as a risk factor for CRC and implicates the previously unknown STN1-BER axis in protecting colon tissues from oxidative damage, therefore providing insights into the CRC tumor-suppressing mechanism.

Abstract
In recent years, silicon nanoparticles (Si NPs) have been explored as a promising alternative to traditional organic fluorophores in optical sensing and bioimaging applications owing to their exceptional optical properties and negligible toxicity. In this study, water-dispersible Si NPs were prepared from a 3-aminopropyl trimethoxysilane precursor using a facile one-pot process. The as-prepared Si NPs exhibited excitation-wavelength-dependent fluorescence properties and bright green fluorescence at 530 nm upon excitation at 420 nm. The fluorescence properties of Si NPs remained unperturbed under various physiological conditions, such as varying pH, ionic strength, and incubation time. A sensitive fluorometric turn-off sensor for cyanide ion (CN-) detection was devised based on the unique fluorescence properties of Si NPs. The Si NPs-based detection assay showed a good linear response toward CN- ranging between 0 and 33 μM, with a limit of detection as low as 0.90 nM. Caenorhabditis elegans is used as a model organism to evaluate the in vivo toxicity and molecular imaging capability of Si NPs.

Abstract
Organic-rich wastewater is a feasible feedstock for biohydrogen production. Numerous review on the performance of microorganisms and the diversity of their communities during a biohydrogen process were published. However, there is still no in-depth overview of enzymes for biohydrogen production from wastewater and their scale-up applications. This review aims at providing an insightful exploration of critical discussion in terms of: (i) the roles and applications of enzymes in wastewater-based biohydrogen fermentation; (ii) systematical introduction to the enzymatic processes of photo fermentation and dark fermentation; (iii) parameters that affect enzymatic performances and measures for enzyme activity/ability enhancement; (iv) biohydrogen production bioreactors; as well as (v) enzymatic biohydrogen production systems and their larger scales application. Furthermore, to assess the best applications of enzymes in biohydrogen production from wastewater, existing problems and feasible future studies on the development of low-cost enzyme production methods and immobilized enzymes, the construction of multiple enzyme cooperation systems, the study of biohydrogen production mechanisms, more effective bioreactor exploration, larger scales enzymatic biohydrogen production, and the enhancement of enzyme activity or ability are also addressed.

Abstract
The main objective of this study was to banana waste-derived activated carbon (BWAC) make a high pore surface area was prepared and composited with Fe3O4 via a facile hydrothermal method. Various physiochemical characteristics of the prepared samples were evaluated using XRD, FTIR, FESEM, Raman Spectroscopy and XPS analysis. In addition, cyclic voltammetry and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy analyses were performed to determine the electrochemical properties of the prepared samples. The Fe3O4/BWAC sample showed a higher capacitance (285 F g-1) than BWAC at the same scan rate of 10 mV s-1. The capacitive deionization (CDI) cell configuration was varied, and its electro-sorption and defluoridization efficiencies were analyzed during the lead (Pb2+) removal 90%. An asymmetric combination of electrodes in the CDI cell exhibited better heavy metal removal performance, possibly due to the synergistic effect of the high surface area and the balance between the active adsorption site and the overlapping effect of the EDL. As a result, Fe3O4/BWAC could be a potential resource for supercapacitors and CDI electrodes, and the novel Fe3O4/BWAC nanocomposites outstanding performance suggests that they could be helpful for future energy storage and environmental applications.

Abstract
Sewage sludge (SS) is increasingly used as an environment functional material to reduce or control pollution and improve plant growth because of the large amounts of carbon and essential plant nutrients in it. To achieve the best application results, it is essential to comprehensively review recent progress in SS utilization. This review aims to fill the gaps in knowledge by describing the properties of SS, and its usage as adsorbents, catalysts and fertilizers, and certain application mechanisms. Although SS generates several benefits for the environment and humans, many challenges still exist to limit the application, including the risks posed by potentially toxic substances (e.g., heavy metals) in SS. Therefore, future research directions are discussed and how to make SS applications more feasible in terms of technology and economy.

Abstract
This research explores the possibilities of a dual-chamber microbial fuel cell as a biosensor to measure Bisphenol A (BPA) in wastewater. BPA is an organic compound and is considered to be an endocrine disruptor, affecting exposed organisms, the environment, and human health. The performance of the microbial fuel cells (MFCs) was first controlled with specific operational conditions (pH, temperature, fuel feeding rate, and organic loading rate) to obtain the best accuracy of the sensor signal. After that, BPA concentrations varying from 50 to 1000 μg L-1 were examined under the biosensor's cell voltage generation. The outcome illustrates that MFC generates the most power under the best possible conditions of neutral pH, 300 mg L-1 of COD, R 1000 Ω, and ambient temperature. In general, adding BPA improved the biosensor's cell voltage generation. A slight linear trend between voltage output generation and BPA concentration was observed with R2 0.96, which indicated that BPA in this particular concentration range did not real harm to the MFC's electrogenic bacteria. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) images revealed a better cover biofilm after BPA injection on the surface electrode compared to it without BPA. These results confirmed that electroactive biofilm-based MFCs can serve to detect BPA found in wastewaters.

Abstract
A high-resolution soil moisture prediction method has recently gained its importance in various fields such as forestry, agricultural and land management. However, accurate, robust and non- cost prohibitive spatially monitoring of soil moisture is challenging. In this research, a new approach involving the use of advance machine learning (ML) models, and multi-sensor data fusion including Sentinel-1(S1) C-band dual polarimetric synthetic aperture radar (SAR), Sentinel-2 (S2) multispectral data, and ALOS Global Digital Surface Model (ALOS DSM) to predict precisely soil moisture at 10 m spatial resolution across research areas in Australia. The total of 52 predictor variables generated from S1, S2 and ALOS DSM data fusion, including vegetation indices, soil indices, water index, SAR transformation indices, ALOS DSM derived indices like digital model elevation (DEM), slope, and topographic wetness index (TWI). The field soil data from Western Australia was employed. The performance capability of extreme gradient boosting regression (XGBR) together with the genetic algorithm (GA) optimizer for features selection and optimization for soil moisture prediction in bare lands was examined and compared with various scenarios and ML models. The proposed model (the XGBR-GA model) with 21 optimal features obtained from GA was yielded the highest performance (R2 = 0. 891; RMSE = 0.875%) compared to random forest regression (RFR), support vector machine (SVM), and CatBoost gradient boosting regression (CBR). Conclusively, the new approach using the XGBR-GA with features from combination of reliable free-of-charge remotely sensed data from Sentinel and ALOS imagery can effectively estimate the spatial variability of soil moisture. The described framework can further support precision agriculture and drought resilience programs via water use efficiency and smart irrigation management for crop production.

Abstract
Clean energy like hydrogen can be a promising strategy to solve problems of global warming. Photo-fermentation (PF) is an attractive technology for producing biohydrogen from various biowastes cost-effectively and environmentally friendly. However, challenges of low light conversion efficiency and small yields of biohydrogen production still limit its application. Thus, advanced strategies have been investigated to enhance photo-fermentative biohydrogen production. This review discusses advanced technologies that show positive outcomes in improving biohydrogen production by PF, including the following. Firstly, genetic engineering enhances light transfer efficiency, change the activity of enzymes, and improves the content of ATP, ammonium and antibiotic tolerance of photosynthetic bacteria. Secondly, immobilization technology is refined. Thirdly, nanotechnology makes great strides as a scientific technique and fourthly, integration of dark and photo-fermentation technology is possible. Some suggestions for further studies to achieve high levels of efficiency of photo-fermentative biohydrogen production are mentioned in this paper.

Abstract
As a clean energy carrier, hydrogen is a promising alternative to fossil fuel so as the global growing energy demand can be met. Currently, producing hydrogen from biowastes through fermentation has attracted much attention due to its multiple advantages of biowastes management and valuable energy generation. Nevertheless, conventional dark fermentation (DF) processes are still hindered by the low biohydrogen yields and challenges of biohydrogen purification, which limit their commercialization. In recent years, researchers have focused on various advanced strategies for enhancing biohydrogen yields, such as screening of super hydrogen-producing bacteria, genetic engineering, cell immobilization, nanomaterials utilization, bioreactors modification, and combination of different processes. This paper critically reviews by discussing the above stated technologies employed in DF, respectively, to improve biohydrogen generation and stating challenges and future perspectives on biowaste-based biohydrogen production.

Abstract
This study investigated a dual-chamber microbial fuel cell-based biosensor (DC-MFC-B) for monitoring copper and arsenic in municipal wastewater. Operational conditions, including pH, flow rate, a load of organic substrate and external resistance load, were optimized to improve the biosensor's sensitivity. The DC-MFC-B's toxicity response was established under the electroactive bacteria inhibition rate function to a specific heavy metal level as well as the recovery of the DC-MFC-B. Results show that the DC-MFC-B was optimized at the operating conditions of 1000 Ω external resistance, COD 300 mg L-1 and 50 mM K3Fe(CN)6 as a catholyte solution. The voltage output of the DC-MFC-B decreased with increasing in the copper and arsenic concentrations. A significant linear relationship between the maximum voltage of the biosensor and the heavy metal concentration was obtained with a coefficient of R2 = 0.989 and 0.982 for copper and arsenic, respectively. The study could detect copper (1-10 mg L-1) and arsenic (0.5-5 mg L-1) over wider range compared to other studies. The inhibition ratio for both copper and arsenic was proportional to the concentrations, indicating the electricity changes are mainly dependent on the activity of the electrogenic bacteria on the anode surface. Moreover, the DC-MFC-B was also recovered in few hours after being cleaned with a fresh medium. It was found that the concentration of the toxicant effected on the recovery time and the recovery time was varied between 4 and 12 h. In short, this work provided new avenues for the practical application of microbial fuel cells as a heavy metal biosensor.

Abstract
Microbial electrolysis cell (MEC) system is an environmentally friendly method for clean biohydrogen production from a wide range of biowastes owing to low greenhouse gas emissions. This approach has relatively higher yields and lower energy costs for biohydrogen production compared to conventional biological technologies and direct water electrolysis, respectively. However, biohydrogen production efficiency and operating costs of MEC still need further optimization to realize its large-scale application.This paper provides a unique review of impact factors influencing biohydrogen production in MECs, such as microorganisms and electrodes. Novel strategies, including inhibition of methanogens, development of novel cathode catalyst, advanced reactor design and integrated systems, to enhance low-cost biohydrogen production, are discussed based on recent publications in terms of their opportunities, bottlenecks and future directions. In addition, the current challenges, and effective future perspectives towards the practical application of MECs are described in this review.

Abstract
Wastewater contains a significant amount of recoverable nitrogen. Hence, the recovery of nitrogen from wastewater can provide an option for generating some revenue by applying the captured nitrogen to producing bio-products, in order to minimize dangerous or environmental pollution consequences. The circular bio-economy can achieve greater environmental and economic sustainability through game-changing technological developments that will improve municipal wastewater management, where simultaneous nitrogen and energy recovery are required. Over the last decade, substantial efforts were undertaken concerning the recovery of nitrogen from wastewater. For example, bio-membrane integrated system (BMIS) which integrates biological process and membrane technology, has attracted considerable attention for recovering nitrogen from wastewater. In this review, current research on nitrogen recovery using the BMIS are compiled whilst the technologies are compared regarding their energy requirement, efficiencies, advantages and disadvantages. Moreover, the bio-products achieved in the nitrogen recovery system processes are summarized in this paper, and the directions for future research are suggested. Future research should consider the quality of recovered nitrogenous products, long-term performance of BMIS and economic feasibility of large-scale reactors. Nitrogen recovery should be addressed under the framework of a circular bio-economy.

Abstract
The prominent characteristics of the biochar, high porosity, sorption capacity with low density improve the aeration, making it a desirable amendment material for composting process. The composting efficiency was analysed by the impact of rice husk biochar amendment (0, 2, 4, 6, 8 and 10%) in the presence of salts for the co-composting of food waste and swine manure, in composting reactors for 50 days. Results revealed that biochar amendment had improved the degradation rates by microbial activities in comparison with control. The final compost quality was improved by reducing the bulk density (29-53%), C/N ratio (29-57%), gaseous emissions (CO2, CH4, and NH3) and microbial pathogens (Escherichia coli and Salmonella sp.). However, 6% biochar amendment had significant improvement in compost quality, degradation rates and nutritional value which is recommended as the ideal ratio for obtaining mature compost from the feedstock, food waste and swine manure.

Abstract
Immobilization of enzymes has many advantages for their application in biotechnological processes. In particular, the cross-linked enzyme aggregates (CLEAs) allow the production of solid biocatalysts with a high enzymatic loading and the advantage of obtaining derivatives with high stability at low cost. The purpose of this study was to produce cross-linked enzymatic aggregates (CLEAs) of LipMatCCR11, a 43 kDa recombinant solvent-tolerant thermoalkaliphilic lipase from Geobacillus thermoleovorans CCR11. LipMatCCR11-CLEAs were prepared using (NH4)2SO4 (40% w/v) as precipitant agent and glutaraldehyde (40 mM) as cross-linker, at pH 9, 20 °C. A U10(56) uniform design was used to optimize CLEA production, varying protein concentration, ammonium sulfate %, pH, glutaraldehyde concentration, temperature, and incubation time. The synthesized CLEAs were also analyzed using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) that showed individual particles of <1 µm grouped to form a superstructure. The cross-linked aggregates showed a maximum mass activity of 7750 U/g at 40 °C and pH 8 and retained more than 20% activity at 100 °C. Greater thermostability, resistance to alkaline conditions and the presence of organic solvents, and better durability during storage were observed for LipMatCCR11-CLEAs in comparison with the soluble enzyme.

Abstract
The failure of the centralized water supply system forced XY community to become more dependent on uncertain and unstable water sources. The results of surveying 50 households showed that 89.18% of total households depended on water collected from rivers, which contributed 58.3% of the total water volume used for the domestic demands. The average water volume consumed was 19.5 liters/person/day (l/p/d), and 86.5% of households used more than one source; 13.5% of households collected water only from rivers, and 45.94% of families had rainwater harvesting (RWH) for their activities (domestic water demand); however, RWH only provided 9.9% of total water consumption. In this study, basic methods were applied to calculate the storage tanks necessary to balance the water deficit created by drought months. Three levels of water demand (14, 20, and 30 l/p/d) can be the best choices for RWH; for a higher demand (40 and 60 l/p/d), small roof area (30-40 m2), and many people (six to seven) per family, RWH might be impractical because of unsuitable rainfall or excessively large storage tanks.

Abstract
This study investigates the performance of microbial fuel cells (MFC) for on-line monitoring ammonium (NH4+-N) in municipal wastewater. A double chamber microbial fuel cell (MFC) was established in a continuous mode under different influent ammonium concentrations ranging from 5 to 40 mg L-1. Results indicated that excess ammonium would inhibit the activity of electrogenic bacteria in the anode chamber and consequently affect electricity production. An inversely linear relationship between concentration and voltage generation was obtained with coefficient R2 0.99 and the MFC could detect up to 40 mg L-1 of NH4+-N. Notably, no further decline was observed in voltage output and there was in fact a further increase in ammonia concentration (>40 mg L-1). The stability and high accuracy of ammonium-based MFC biosensors exposed competitive results compared to traditional analytical tools, confirming the biosensor's reliability. Furthermore, pH 7.0; R 1000 Ω and HRT of 24 h are the best possible conditions for the MFC biosensor for monitoring ammonium. The simplicity in design and operation makes the biosensor more realistic for practical application.

Abstract
Replication stress causes replication fork stalling, resulting in an accumulation of single-stranded DNA (ssDNA). Replication protein A (RPA) and CTC1-STN1-TEN1 (CST) complex bind ssDNA and are found at stalled forks, where they regulate RAD51 recruitment and foci formation in vivo. Here, we investigate crosstalk between RPA, CST, and RAD51. We show that CST and RPA localize in close proximity in cells. Although CST stably binds to ssDNA with a high affinity at low ionic strength, the interaction becomes more dynamic and enables facilitated dissociation at high ionic strength. CST can coexist with RPA on the same ssDNA and target RAD51 to RPA-coated ssDNA. Notably, whereas RPA-coated ssDNA inhibits RAD51 activity, RAD51 can assemble a functional filament and exhibit strand-exchange activity on CST-coated ssDNA at high ionic strength. Our findings provide mechanistic insights into how CST targets and tethers RAD51 to RPA-coated ssDNA in response to replication stress.

Abstract
This study investigated the effect of CaO2 pretreatment on sulfonamide antibiotics (SMs) remediation by Chlorella sp. Results showed that a CaO2 dose ranging from 0.05 to 0.1 g/g biomass was the best and led to higher SMs removal efficacy 5-10% higher than the control. The contributions made by cometabolism and CaO2 in SMs remediation were very similar. Bioassimilation could remove 24% of sulfadiazine (SDZ) and sulfamethazine (SMZ), and accounted for 38% of sulfamethoxazole (SMX) remediation. Pretreatment by CaO2 wielded a positive effect on microalgae. The extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) level of the CaO2 pretreatment microalgae was three times higher when subjected to non-pretreatment. For the long-term, pretreatment microalgae removed SMs 10-20% more than the non-pretreatment microalgae. Protein fractions of EPS in continuous operation produced up to 90 mg/L for cometabolism. For bioassimilation, SMX intensity of the pretreatment samples was 160-fold less than the non-treatment one. It indicated the CaO2 pretreatment has enhanced the biochemical function of the intracellular environment of microalgae. Peroxidase enzyme involved positively in the cometabolism and degradation of SMs to several metabolites including ring cleavage, hydroxylation and pterin-related conjugation.

Abstract
Owing to industrial evolution, a huge mass of toxic metals, including Co, Cu, Cr, Mn, Ni, Pb, and Zn, and metalloids, such as As and Sb, has inevitably been released into the natural environment and accumulated in soils or sediments. Along with modern industrialization, many mineral mines have been explored and exploited to provide materials for industries. Mining industries also generate a vast amount of waste, such as mine tailings, which contain a high concentration of toxic metals and metalloids. Due to the low economic status, a majority of mine tailings are simply disposed into the surrounding environments, without any treatment. The mobilization and migration of toxic metals and metalloids from soils, sediments, and mining wastes to water systems via natural weathering processes put both the ecological system and human health at high risk. Considering both economic and environmental aspects, bioleaching is a preferable option for removing the toxic metals and metalloids because of its low cost and environmental safety. This chapter reviews the recent approaches of bioleaching for removing toxic metals and metalloids from soils, sediments, and mining wastes. The comparison between bioleaching and chemical leaching of various waste sources is also discussed in terms of efficiency and environmental safety. Additionally, the advanced perspectives of bioleaching for environmental remediation with consideration of other influencing factors are reviewed for future studies and applications.

Abstract
A combination of a submerged membrane filtration system and powdered activated carbon (PAC) was investigated for nonylphenol ethoxylates removal. Both filtration flux and initial powdered activated carbon dosage had significant effects on the micropollutants removal efficiency. The best performance was achieved under the filtration flux of 20 L/m2.h and the initial powdered activated carbon of 50 mg/L. The removal efficiencies of nonylphenol ethoxylates was obtained at 75±5% in the first 60 hours, and then decreased at 55±7% and 23±11% in the following hours, respectively. As observed, over 65% of dissolved organic carbon mass adsorbed into powdered activated carbon that was suspended in the bulk phase, and the remainder was adsorbed into powdered activated carbon that deposited on the membrane surface. It reveals that the combination between submerged membrane filtration and PAC could be an effective solution for enhancing removal of micropollutants from water.

Abstract
Synthesizing novel photocatalysts that can effectively harvest photon energy over a wide range of the solar spectrum for practical applications is vital. Porphyrin-derived nanostructures with properties similar to those of chlorophyll have emerged as promising candidates to meet this requirement. In this study, tetrakis(4-carboxyphenyl) porphyrin (TCPP) nanofibers were formed on the surface of ZnO nanoparticles using a simple self-assembly approach. The obtained ZnO/TCPP nanofiber composites were characterized via scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction analysis, and ultraviolet-visible absorbance and reflectance measurements. The results demonstrated that the ZnO nanoparticles with an average size of approximately 37 nm were well integrated in the TCPP nanofiber matrix. The resultant composite showed photocatalytic activity of ZnO and TCPP nanofibers concomitantly, with band gap energies of 3.12 and 2.43 eV, respectively. The ZnO/TCPP photocatalyst exhibited remarkable photocatalytic performance for RhB degradation with a removal percentage of 97% after 180 min of irradiation under simulated sunlight because of the synergetic activity of ZnO and TCPP nanofibers. The dominant active species participating in the photocatalytic reaction were •O2 - and OH•, resulting in enhanced charge separation by exciton-coupled charge-transfer processes between the hybrid materials.

Abstract
Resistant pollutants like oil, grease, pharmaceuticals, pesticides, and plastics in wastewater are difficult to be degraded by traditional activated sludge methods. These pollutants are prevalent, posing a great threat to aquatic environments and organisms since they are toxic, resistant to natural biodegradation, and create other serious problems. As a high-efficiency biocatalyst, enzymes are proposed for the treatment of these resistant pollutants. This review focused on the roles and applications of enzymes in wastewater treatment. It discusses the influence of enzyme types and their sources, enzymatic processes in resistant pollutants remediation, identification and ecotoxicity assay of enzymatic transformation products, and typically employed enzymatic wastewater treatment systems. Perspectives on the major challenges and feasible future research directions of enzyme-based wastewater treatment are also proposed.

Abstract
This study investigated the environmental burdens concerning the recycling/recovery process of a wastewater treatment plant's construction material waste and biogas. Detailed data inventories of case studies were employed in several scenarios to explore the role of end-of-life treatment methods. The ReCiPe 2016 and the Greenhouse gas Protocol life cycle impact methods were conducted to measure the impact categories. The construction and demolition phases were considered for recycling potential assessment, while the operational phase was examined for assessing the advantages of energy recovery. Metal and concrete recycling show environmental benefits. Increasing the reprocessing rate requires more water consumption but results in: firstly, a decrease of 18.8% in total damage; secondly, reduces problematic mineral scarcity by 3.9%; and thirdly, a shortfall in fossil fuels amounting to 11.6%. Recycling concrete helps to reduce the amount of GHG emissions 1.4-fold. Different biogas treatment methods contribute to various outcomes. Biogas utilization for on-site energy purposes has more advantages than flaring and offsite consumption. Electricity and heat generation originating from biogas can provide 70% of the energy requirement and replace 100% natural gas usage. Biomethane production from biogas requires extreme power and more resources. Meanwhile, producing heat and electricity can offset 102.9 g of fossil CO2, and manufacturing biomethane contributes the equivalent of 101.2 g of fossil fuel-derived CO2. Reducing 10% of recovered electricity creation could rise 19.19% global warming indicator of the wastewater treatment plant.

Abstract
This study evaluated and compared the performance of two vertical flow constructed wetlands (VF) using expanded clay (VF1) and biochar (VF2), of which both are low-cost, eco-friendly, and exhibit potentially high adsorption as compared to conventional filter layers. Both VFs achieved relatively high removal for organic matters (i.e. Biological oxygen demand during 5 days, BOD5) and nitrogen, accounting for 9.5 - 10.5 g.BOD5.m-2.d-1 and 3.5 - 3.6 g.NH4-N.m-2.d-1, respectively. The different filter materials did not exert any significant discrepancy to effluent quality in terms of suspended solids, organic matters and NO3-N (P > 0.05), but they did influence NH4-N effluent as evidenced by the removal rate of that by VF1 and VF2 being of 82.4 ± 5.7 and 84.6 ± 6.4%, respectively (P < 0.05). The results obtained from the designed systems were further subject to machine learning to clarify the effecting factors and predict the effluents. The optimal algorithms were random forest, generalized linear model, and support vector machine. The values of the coefficient of determination (R2) and the root mean square error (RMSE) of whole fitting data achieved 74.0% and 5.0 mg.L-1, 80.0% and 0.3 mg.L-1, 90.1% and 2.9 mg.L-1, and 48.5% and 0.5 mg.L-1 for BOD5_VF1, NH4-N_VF1, BOD5_VF2, and NH4-N_VF2, respectively.

Abstract
Microbial selenite reduction has increasingly attracted attention from the scientific community because it allows the separation of toxic Se from waste sources with the concurrent recovery of Se nanoparticles, a multifunctional material in nanotechnology industries. In this study, four selenite-reducing bacteria, isolated from a river water sample, were found to reduce selenite by > 85% within 3 d of incubation, at ambient temperature. Among them, strain NDSe-7, belonging to genus Lysinibacillus, can reduce selenite and produce Se nanospheres in alkaline conditions, up to pH 10.0, and in salinity of up to 7.0%. This strain can reduce 80 mg/L of selenite to elemental Se within 24 h at pH 6.0-8.0, at a temperature of 30-40 °C, and salinity of 0.1-3.5%. Strain NDSe-7 exhibited potential for use in Se removal and recovery from industrial saline wastewater with high alkalinity. This study indicates that extremophilic microorganisms for environmental remediation can be found in a conventional environment.

Abstract
A continuous increase in the amount of greenhouse gases (GHGs) is causing serious threats to the environment and life on the earth, and CO2 is one of the major candidates. Reducing the excess CO2 by converting into industrial products could be beneficial for the environment and also boost up industrial growth. In particular, the conversion of CO2 into methanol is very beneficial as it is cheaper to produce from biomass, less inflammable, and advantageous to many industries. Application of various plants, algae, and microbial enzymes to recycle the CO2 and using these enzymes separately along with CO2-phillic materials and chemicals can be a sustainable solution to reduce the global carbon footprint. Materials such as MOFs, porphyrins, and nanomaterials are also used widely for CO2 absorption and conversion into methanol. Thus, a combination of enzymes and materials which convert the CO2 into methanol could energize the CO2 utilization. The CO2 to methanol conversion utilizes carbon better than the conventional syngas and the reaction yields fewer by-products. The methanol produced can further be utilized as a clean-burning fuel, in pharmaceuticals, automobiles and as a general solvent in various industries etc. This makes methanol an ideal fuel in comparison to the conventional petroleum-based ones and it is advantageous for a safer and cleaner environment. In this review article, various aspects of the circular economy with the present scenario of environmental crisis will also be considered for large-scale sustainable biorefinery of methanol production from atmospheric CO2.

Abstract
This study aims to offer insights into how ciprofloxacin (CIP) impact bacterial community structures in the Sponge-MBR process when CIP is spiked into hospital wastewater. We found that the CIP toxicity decreased richness critical phylotypes such as phylum class ẟ-, β-, ɣ-proteobacteria, and Flavobacteria that co-respond to suppress denitrification and cake fouling to 37% and 28% respectively. Cluster analysis shows that the different community structures were formed under the influence of CIP toxicity. CIP decreased attached growth biomass by 2.3 times while increasing the concentration of permeate nitrate by 3.8 times, greatly affecting TN removal by up to 26%. Ammonia removal was kept stable by inflating the ammonia removal rate (p < 0.003), with the wealthy Nitrospira genus guaranteeing the nitrification activity. In addition, we observed an increasing richness of Chloroflexi and Planctomycetes, which may play a role in fouling reduction in the Sponge-MBR. Therefore, if the amount of antibiotics in hospital wastewater continues to increase, it is so important to extend biomass retention for denitrification recovery.

Abstract
The CO2 methanation reaction of reduced and unreduced Ni based CeO2, Al2O3, TiO2 and Y2O3 supported catalysts was investigated. The Ni/CeO2 and Ni/Y2O3 catalysts exhibited similar CO2 conversions at all reaction temperatures. The catalysts were studied by X-ray diffraction (XRD), H2 chemisorption, H2 temperature-programmed reduction (TPR), and in situ diffuse reflection infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy (DRIFTS); the results suggested that the reducibility of both metal and support at low temperature, strong metal support interaction and small Ni particle size are important factors for low-temperature CO2 methanation. Based on the DRIFT studies, the difference in the CO2 adsorption properties and reaction pathway depending on the reduced and unreduced Ni based supported catalysts was discussed. The effect of metal–support interaction and role of support on catalytic performances during Ni based CO2 methanation reaction were investigated.![]()

Abstract
Waste animal fats and proteins (WAFP) are rich in various animal by-products from food industries. On one hand, increasing production of huge amounts of WAFP brings a great challenge to their appropriate disposal, and raises severe risks to environment and life health. On the other hand, the high fat and protein contents in these animal wastes are valuable resources which can be reutilized in an eco-friendly and renewable way. Sustainable enzymatic technologies are promising methods for WAFP management. This review discussed the application of various enzymes in the conversion of WSFP to value-added biodiesel and bioactivate hydrolysates. New biotechnologies to discover novel enzymes with robust properties were proposed as well. This paper also presented the bio-utilization strategy of animal fat and protein wastes as alternative nutrient media for microorganism growth activities to yield important industrial enzymes cost-effectively.

Abstract
Microbial fuel cell (MFC) systems are promising technologies for wastewater treatment and renewable energy generation simultaneously. Performance of a double-chamber microbial fuel cell (MFC) to treat synthetic swine wastewater containing sulfonamide antibiotics (SMs) was evaluated in this study. The MFC was operated in continuous modes at different conditions. Results indicated that the current was successfully generated during the operation. The performance of MFC under the sequential anode-cathode operating mode is better than that under the single continuous running mode. Specifically, higher removal efficiency of chemical oxygen demand (>90%) was achieved under the sequential anode-cathode operating mode in comparison with that in the single continuous mode (>80%). Nutrients were also be removed in the MFC's cathode chamber with the maximum removal efficiency of 66.6 ± 1.4% for NH4+-N and 32.1 ± 2.8% for PO43--P. Meanwhile, SMs were partly removed in the sequential anode-cathode operating with the value in a range of 49.4%-59.4% for sulfamethoxazole, 16.8%-19.5% for sulfamethazine and 14.0%-16.3% for sulfadiazine, respectively. SMs' inhibition to remove other pollutants in both electrodes of MFC was observed after SMs exposure, suggesting that SMs exert toxic effects on the microorganisms. A positive correlation was found between the higher NH4+-N concentration used in this study and the removal efficiency of SMs in the cathode chamber. In short, although the continuous flow MFC is feasible for treating swine wastewater containing antibiotics, its removal efficiency of antibiotics requires to be further improved.

Abstract
Nitrogen removal is crucial in wastewater treatment process as excessive nitrogen content could result in eutrophication and degradation of aquatic ecosystems. Moreover, to satisfy the fast-growing need of fertilizers due to an increase in human population, recovering nitrogen from wastewater is of the most sustainable approach. Currently, the membrane technique integrated with biological processes namely bio-membrane based integrated system (BMIS) is a promising technology for recovering nitrogen from wastewater, including osmotic membrane bioreactors, bioelectrochemical systems and membrane photobioreactors. In this review study, the nitrogen recovery in different BMHSs, the role of operational parameters and the nitrogen recovery mechanism were discussed. Apart from this, the implementation of nitrogen recovery at pilot- and full-scale was summarized. Perspectives on the major challenges and recommendations of the BMIS for the nitrogen recovery in wastewater treatment were proposed, in which the integrated technologies and more scale-up studies regarding nitrogen recovery by the BMISs were also highlighted and recommended.

Abstract
The current work is about analysis and multi-objective optimization (MOO) of weir-type solar still systems equipped with phase change material (PCM) regarding the exergetic and economic performance. To do so, the energetic and exergetic modeling of the suggested system is conducted then the substantial economic factors is applied to obtain the total cost rate of the considered SSDS. The total exergetic efficiency and total annual cost (TAC) is considered objective functions. Four parameters include mass of the PCM (mPCM), inlet brine water flow rate ([Formula: see text]), gap distance (d), and insulation width (xins) is chosen as decision variables. Moreover, a genetic algorithm-based MOO was applied to find the optimum states of evaluated solar still unit. The outputs represented that increasing the brine feed water mass flow rate does not affect the TAC while decreasing distilled water production rate. The scattered distribution of optimum states infers that the optimum value of PCM mass is about 1 kg. In addition, applied MOO reveals that with optimization of the studied system, the exergy efficiency increases about 1.47% and the annual distilled water increases 4.35% compared with the non-optimized system. The suggested system is capable to produce fresh water in remote areas without any pollution as well as in a low cost rate.

Abstract
Sulfonamide antibiotics (SMs), as a class of antibiotics commonly used in swine industries, pose a serious threat to animal and human health. This study aims to evaluate the performance of an anaerobic membrane bioreactor (AnMBR) with and without supplying a new pomelo peel derived biochar to treat swine wastewater containing SMs. Results show that 0.5 g/L biochar addition could increase more than 30% of sulfadiazine (SDZ) and sulfamethazine (SMZ) removal in AnMBR. Approximately 95% of chemical oxygen demand (COD) was removed in the AnMBR at an influent organic loading rate (OLR) of 3.27 kg COD/(m3·d) while an average methane yield was 0.2 L/g CODremoved with slightly change at a small dose 0.5 g/L biochar addition. SMs inhibited the COD removal and methane production and increased membrane fouling. The addition of biochar could reduce the membrane fouling by reducing the concentration of SMP and EPS.

Abstract
Recently, the microbial fuel cell-based biosensor has been considered as an attractive technology for measuring wastewater quality such as biochemical oxygen demand (BOD). In this study, a mediator-less double compartment MFC based biosensor utilizing carbon felt as an anode electrode and inoculated with mixed culture was developed to improve the real application of a rapid BOD detection. This study aims to: (i) establish the effect of the operating conditions (i.e., pH, external resistance, fuel feeding rate) on MFC performance; (ii) investigate the correlation between biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) and signal output, and (iii) evaluate the operational stability of the biosensor. The presented result reveals that the maximum current and power production was obtained while 100 mM NaCl and 50 mM Phosphate buffer saline was used as a catholyte solution, neutral pH condition of media and fuel feeding rate at 0.3 mL min-1. Notably, a wider range of BOD concentration up to 300 mg L -1 can be obtained with the voltage output (R2 > 0.9901). Stable and steady power was produced by running MFC in 30 days when cells operated at 1000 Ω external resistance. Our research has some competition with the previous double chamber MFC in the upper limit of BOD detection. This results might help to increase the real application of MFC based BOD biosensor in real-time measurement.

Abstract
A sequential anode-cathode double-chamber microbial fuel cell (MFC) is a promising system for simultaneously removing contaminants, recovering nutrients and producing energy from swine wastewater. To improve sulfonamide antibiotics (SMs)'s removal in the continuous operating of MFC, one new pomelo peel-derived biochar was applied in the anode chamber in this study. Results demonstrated that SMs can be absorbed onto the heterogeneous surfaces of biochar through pore-filling and π-π EDA interaction. Adding biochar to a certain concentration (500 mg/L) could enhance the efficiency in removing sulfamethoxazole, sulfadiazine and sulfamethazine to 82.44-88.15%, 53.40-77.53% and 61.12-80.68%, respectively. Moreover, electricity production, COD and nutrients removal were improved by increasing the concentration of biochar. Hence, it is proved that adding biochar in MFC could effectively improve the performance of MFC in treating swine wastewater containing SMs.

Abstract
This study aims to investigate the environmental issues regarding the construction phase of the wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) and explore the roles of different materials through their environmental impacts. Detailed inventories of the two WWTPs were conducted by involving materials and transportation for civil works undertaken. EPD 2018 and ReCiPe life cycle impact assessment methods were employed to measure all the impact categories. Five treatment processes - (1) pumping, (2) primary treatment, (3) secondary treatment, (4) sludge line, and (5) building landscape - were considered for the assessment. It was found that concrete and reinforcing steel played similarly vital roles in most of the EPD 2018 impacts. The significant score of reinforcing steel was found on human cancer toxicity, which contributed more than 90% of the impacts. The contribution of diesel on ozone formation was 5% higher than that of reinforcing steel. Glassfiber was responsible for 70% of the burdens on ozone depletion, showing much higher than the total share of concrete and reinforcing steel. Primary treatment units only contributed 9.5% of the construction impacts in the Girona WWTP but up to 43.8% in Mill Creek WWTP mainly because of the proportion of consumed materials. In short, the comprehensive data inventories were necessary when evaluating the total environmental impacts of the WWTP.

Abstract
Enzymatic processing has been considered an interesting technology as enzymes play important roles in the process of waste bioconversion, whilst heling to develop valuable products from animal wastes. In this paper, the application of enzymes in animal waste management were critically reviewed in short with respect to utilization in: (i) animal wastewater treatment and (ii) animal manure management. The results indicate that the application of enzymes could increase both chemical oxygen demand (COD) removal efficiency and production of biogas. The enzymatic bioprocesses were found to be affected by the type, source and dosage of enzymes and the operating conditions. Further studies on optimizing the operating conditions and developing cost-effective enzymes for the future large-scale application are therefore necessary.

Abstract
This study investigated the impacts of selective sole carbon source-induced micropollutants (MPs) cometabolism of Chlorella sp. by: (i) extracellular polymeric substances (EPS), superoxide dismutase and peroxidase enzyme production; (ii) MPs removal efficiency and cometabolism rate; (iii) MPs' potential degradation products identification; and (iv) degradation pathways and validation using the Eawag database to differentiate the cometabolism of Chlorella sp. with other microbes. Adding the sole carbon sources in the presence of MPs increased EPS and enzyme concentrations from 2 to 100-fold in comparison with only sole carbon sources. This confirmed that MPs cometabolism had occurred. The removal efficiencies of tetracycline, sulfamethoxazole, and bisphenol A ranged from 16-99%, 32-92%, and 58-99%, respectively. By increasing EPS and enzyme activity, the MPs concentrations accumulated in microalgae cells also fell 400-fold. The cometabolism process resulted in several degradation products of MPs. This study drew an insightful understanding of cometabolism for MPs remediation in wastewater. Based on the results, proper carbon sources for microalgae can be selected for practical applications to remediate MPs in wastewater while simultaneously recovering biomass for several industries and gaining revenue.

Abstract
Nutrients recovery has become a meaningful solution to address shortage in the fertilizer production which is the key issue of nations' food security. The concept of municipal wastewater is based on its ability to be a major potential source for recovered nutrients because of its vast quantity and nutrient-rich base. Microbial fuel cell (MFC) has emerged as a sustainable technology, which is able to recover nutrients and simultaneously generate electricity. In this study a two-chambered MFC was constructed, and operated in a continuous flow mode employing artificial municipal wastewater as a substrate. The effects of hydraulic retention time (HRT) on the recovery of nutrients by MFC were studied. The COD removal rates were insignificantly influenced by varying HRT from 0.35 to 0.69 d, that were over 92%. Furthermore, the recovery rate of nutrients was insignificantly affected while increasing the HRT, which fluctuates from 80% to 90%. In contrast, the maximum power generation declined when HRT increased and the lowest one was 510.3 mV at the HRT of 0.35 d. These results demonstrate that the lab-scale double chamber MFC using municipal wastewater as the substrate can provide a highly effective removal strategy for organic matter, nutrients recovery and electricity output when operating at a specific HRT.

Abstract
This review examines in detail the production and characteristics of biochar resulting from hydrothermal liquefaction. Specifically, the impact of feedstocks and different process parameters on the properties and yield of biochar by hydrothermal liquefaction has been thoroughly studied. Hydrothermal liquefaction derived biochars, relative to biochars from high-temperature thermochemical processes retain critical functional groups during carbonization and are therefore promising for a wide range of applications. Most of the review's efforts are to study possible hydrothermal liquefaction biochar applications in various fields, including fuel, metal and dye adsorption, pollutant reduction, animal feed, and biogas catalyst. The feasibility of biochar through the hydrothermal liquefaction process has been analysed via life-cycle assessment and energy evaluation. The article concludes with a brief discussion on possible issues and strategies for the sustainable development of hydrothermal liquefaction-based biochar.

Abstract
Manganese-oxidizing bacteria have been widely investigated for bioremediation of Mn-contaminated water sources and for production of biogenic Mn oxides that have extensive applications in environmental remediation. In this study, a total of 5 Mn-resistant bacteria were isolated from river water and investigated for Mn removal. Among them, Ochrobactrum sp. NDMn-6 exhibited the highest Mn removal efficiency (99.1%). The final precipitates produced by this strain were defined as a mixture of Mn2O3, MnO2, and MnCO3. Optimal Mn-removal performance by strain NDMn-6 was obtained at a temperature range of 25-30 °C and the salinity of 0.1-0.5%. More interestingly, strain NDMn-6 could be resistant to salinities of up to 5%, revealing that this strain could be possibly applied for Mn remediation of high salinity regions or industrial saline wastewaters. This study also revealed the potential of self-detoxification mechanisms, wherein river water contaminated with Mn could be cleaned by indigenous bacteria through an appropriate biostimulation scheme.

Abstract
For decades, there has been a strong interest in mitigating greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs). Numerous models were developed to measure the emissions and propose the quantification. Existing studies looked at the relationship between GHG emissions and operational cost (OCI), which is one of the most important indicators for decision-makers. Other parameters that can influence the control strategies include the effluent quality (EQI) and total environmental impacts. Plant-wide models are reliable methods to examine the OCI, EQI and GHG emissions while Life cycle assessment (LCA) works to assess the potential environmental impacts. A combined LCA and plant-wide model proved to be a valuable tool evaluating and comparing strategies for the best performance of WWTPs. For this study involving a WWTP, the benchmark model is used while LCA is the decision tool to find the most suitable treatment strategy. LCA adds extra criteria that complement the existing criteria provided by such models. Complementing the cost/performance criteria is proposed for plant-wide models, including environmental evaluation, based on LCA, which provides an overall better assessment of WWTPs. It can capture both the dynamic effects and potential environmental impacts. This study provides an overview of the integration between plant-wide models and LCA.
