“…The degradation of lignin was promoted. Second, in the presence of an applied voltage, H 2 O 2 produced by the composite cathode initiated the enzymatic hydrolysis reactions of LiP and MnP secreted by white-rot fungi (Mir-Tutusaus et al, 2018), thus accelerating the lignin biodegradation. The mechanism is shown in Figure 3.…”

“…At the same time, there was a continuous Fenton reaction between Fe 2+ and H 2 O 2 produced by the composite cathode, and the large number of hydroxyl radicals produced degraded lignin. H 2 O 2 can also quickly start LiP and MnP enzymatic hydrolysis reactions to accelerate lignin biodegradation (Mir-Tutusaus et al, 2018). In addition, the voltage promoted the growth of fungal cells (Thrash and Coates, 2008;Loghavi et al, 2010b), so that more lignin-degrading enzymes were produced.…”

White-rot fungus is a common lignin-degrading fungus. However, compared with those of microorganisms that biodegrade lignin alone, synergistic systems of electro-Fenton processes and white-rot fungi are superior because of their high efficiency, mild conditions, and environmental friendliness. To investigate the details of lignin degradation by a synergistic system comprising electro-Fenton processes and whiterot fungi, lignin degradation was studied at different voltages with three lignin-degrading fungi (Phanerochaete chrysosporium, Lentinula edodes, and Trametes versicolor). The lignin degradation efficiency (82∼89%) of the synergistic systems at 4 V was higher than that of a control at 96 h post inoculation. Furthermore, the H 2 O 2 produced and phenolic lignin converted in the system can significantly enhance the efficiency of ligninolytic enzymes, so a considerably increased enzyme activity was obtained by the synergistic action of electro-Fenton processes and white-rot fungi. 13 C NMR spectroscopy revealed that aromatic structure units (103-162 ppm) were effectively degraded by the three fungi. This study shows that the combination of electro-Fenton processes and white-rot fungi treatment significantly improved the lignin degradation efficiency, which established a promising strategy for lignin degradation and valorization.

Phthalate esters (phthalic acid esters or PAEs) are widely utilized during production as an inactive plasticizer, which results in serious water pollution. Ideal removal of micropollutants is difficult to achieve with traditional water treatment, but technology using nanofiltration membrane removes water micropollutants effectively owing to its unique membrane structure. To further study the rejection performance of nanofiltration membrane for PAEs, carbon nanotube-modified nanofiltration membrane was proposed to treat PAEs in water. The adsorption and rejection properties of PAEs on the surface of nanofiltration membrane were revealed by multi-factor experiments. Adsorption kinetics was also analyzed, and the adsorption isotherm of PAEs on the membrane surface was simulated. In addition, the effects of running time, molecular weight, n-octanol/water partition coefficient, and average polarizability on the performance of PAE rejection of nanofiltration membrane were discussed. Results show that the Freundlich adsorption equation simulates the adsorption of PAEs on the surface of the nanofiltration membrane, and the correlation coefficient is more than 0.998. The adsorption capacity of the nanofiltration membrane for three typical PAEs substances, namely, diethyl phthalate (DEP), dibutyl phthalate (DBP), and dioctyl phthalate (DOP), decreases in turn. At the same time, the early rejection of PAEs by nanofiltration membrane is primarily due to the adsorption of membrane surface, and the equilibrium stage depends mainly on the sieving effect of the membrane pores. This study provides a theoretical basis for the application of nanofiltration membrane in the removal of PAEs.

Fungi have been shown to be promising candidates to be used in removal of pharmaceutical compounds during wastewater treatment processes. However, fungal growth, including removal efficiency, can be affected by several factors, such as temperature and the pH. The ability of fungal isolates to grow in the presence of carbamazepine, diclofenac, ibuprofen, and sulfamethoxazole was tested. Removal efficiency results indicated that a fungal isolate of Aspergillus luchuensis can completely (>99.9%) remove diclofenac from a synthetic wastewater media without a pH correction within 10 days of incubation. Furthermore, the results of the biosorption test for A. luchuensis indicate that this isolate uses the biosorption mechanism as a strategy to remove diclofenac. Finally, the results demonstrate that A. luchuensis can remove >98% of diclofenac in non-sterile wastewater without a pH correction immediately after biomass inoculation on biofilm carriers while Trametes versicolor requires an incubation period of at least 24 h to completely remove diclofenac. Therefore, this isolate is a promising candidate for use in removal of pharmaceutical compounds from wastewater with typical pH 7.8, minimizing a requirement of the pH correction.
