RESUMO
The anaerobic ammonium oxidation (anammox) process has the advantages of high efficiency and low energy consumption, so it has broad application prospects in biological denitrification of wastewater. However, the application of anammox technology to existing wastewater treatment is still challenging. The main problems are the insufficient supply of nitrite and the susceptibility of anammox bacteria to environmental factors. In this paper, from the perspective of the diversity of anammox bacteria, the habitats and characteristics of anammox bacteria of different genera were compared. At the same time, laboratory research and engineering applications of anammox technology in treating wastewater from different sources were reviewed, and the progress of and obstacles to the practical application of anammox technology were clarified. Finally, a focus for future research was proposed to intensively study the water quality barrier factors of anammox and its regulation strategies. Meanwhile, a combined process was developed and optimized on this basis.

External stimulus such as light irradiation is able to deteriorate intracellular redox homeostasis and induce photooxidative damage to non-photogenic bacteria. Exploiting effective strategies to help bacteria resisting infaust stress is meaningful for achieving a stable operation of biological treatment system. In this work, selenium-doped carbon quantum dots (Se-CQDs) were blended into anaerobic ammonia oxidation (anammox) bacteria and an inorganic nanoparticle-microbe hybrid was successfully fabricated to evaluate its nitrogen removal performance under solar-simulated irradiation. It was found that the specific anammox activity decreased by 29.7 ± 5.2% and reactive oxygen species (ROS) content increased by 134.8 ± 4.1% under 50,000 lux light. Sludge activity could be completely recovered under the optimum dosage of 0.42 mL·(g volatile suspended solid) -1 Se-CQDs. Hydroxyl radical (·OH) and superoxide anion radical (·O2-) were identified as the leading ROS inducing lipid peroxidation and antioxidase function detriment. Also, the structure of ladderane lipids located on anammoxosome was destroyed by ROS and functional genes abundances declined accordingly. Although cell surface coated Se-CQDs could absorb ultraviolet light and partially mitigated the photoinhibition, the direct scavenging of ROS by intracellular Se-CQDs primarily contributed to the cellular redox homeostasis, antioxidase activity recovery and sludge activity improvement. The findings of this work provide in-depth understanding the metabolic response mechanism of anammox consortia to light irradiation and might be valuable for a more stable and sustainable nitrogen removal technology, i.e., algal-bacterial symbiotic system, development.

As one of the most promising autotrophic biological nitrogen removal technology, anaerobic ammonia oxidation (anammox) has gained intense attention for the past decades and several full-scale facilities have been implemented worldwide. However, anammox bacteria are easily affected by disturbed external environmental factors, which commonly leads to the fluctuations in reactor performance. The response of anammox sludge to external stress results in changes in components and structural characteristics of intracellular and extracellular polymer substances. Real-time and convenient spectral analysis of anammox sludge metabolites can give early warning of performance deterioration under external stresses, which is of great significance to the stable operation of bioreactor. This review summarized the research progress on characterizing the intracellular and extracellular metabolites of anammox sludge through spectroscopic techniques. The correlation between anammox sludge activity and its key metabolites was analyzed. Also, the limitations and future prospects of applying spectral analytical techniques for anammox bioreactor monitoring were discussed and outlooked. This review may provide valuable information for both scientific study and engineering application of anammox based nitrogen removal technology.

Lithium (Li) metal is one of the most promising anodes for the high-energy density lithium batteries. Nevertheless, it is still a great challenge to construct a dendrite-free Li anode with stable solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) by adopting environmentally friendly approaches. Herein, a green artificial Li polylactic acid (LiPLA) SEI layer with biodegradability and highly rebound resilience is fabricated via an in situ reaction to regulate Li metal plating/stripping behavior. Guided by this stable environmentally friendly LiPLA SEI, the Li anode shows excellent stability with suppressive dendrites as demonstrated by a stable cycling of 850 h in LiPLA-Li/LiPLA-Li symmetric batteries and a significant capacity retention rate enhancement of 18% in LiPLA-Li/LiFePO4 full batteries and 25% in LiPLA-Li/LiNi3/5Co1/5-Mn1/5O2 full batteries. This proposed strategy provides a green and facile way to ameliorate the stability of the Li anode for safe and long-life lithium metal batteries.
