Abstract Background Two wetlands planted with Kandelia candel and Aegiceras corniculatum and one wetland without plantation were constructed for stable wastewater treatment since 2005. The impact of mangrove plants on the microbiota of wetlands was studied due to their higher efficiency of wastewater treatment. Results Microbiota of each wetland were explored through high-throughput sequencing and their relationships were predicted based on spearman metrics. Planted wetlands had higher microbial diversities and more similar microbial communities. Five phyla were significantly enriched in planted wetlands, including Acidobacteria, Nitrospirae, Actinobacteria, Gemmatimonadetes and Elusimicrobia. Twelve phyla of other microbes accounting for 1.85% of the total relative abundance showed significantly higher abundance in the unplanted wetland. Planted wetlands shared more similar microbial community structure distinguished from that of the unplanted one. Additionally, distinct microbial interactive pattern could be observed in planted wetlands. Conclusions Based on their microbial compositions and interactive patterns, it will be reasonable to illustrate the higher wastewater purification ability of planted wetlands. Research here also supplies useful information for the potential of applicable combination of certain kinds of microbes for wastewater treatment.

Abstract It has been numerously verified that microwave radiation could be advantageous as a pre-treatment for enhanced disintegration of sludge. Very few data related to the dielectric parameters of wastewater of different origins are available; therefore, the objective of our work was to measure the dielectric constant of municipal and meat industrial wastewater during a continuous flow operating microwave process. Determination of the dielectric constant and its change during wastewater and sludge processing make it possible to decide on the applicability of dielectric measurements for detecting the organic matter removal efficiency of wastewater purification process or disintegration degree of sludge. With the measurement of dielectric constant as a function of temperature, total solids (TS) content and microwave specific process parameters regression models were developed. Our results verified that in the case of municipal wastewater sludge, the TS content has a significant effect on the dielectric constant and disintegration degree (DD), as does the temperature. The dielectric constant has a decreasing tendency with increasing temperature for wastewater sludge of low TS content, but an adverse effect was found for samples with high TS and organic matter contents. DD of meat processing wastewater sludge was influenced significantly by the volumetric flow rate and power level, as process parameters of continuously flow microwave pre-treatments. It can be concluded that the disintegration process of food industry sludge can be detected by dielectric constant measurements. From technical purposes the applicability of dielectric measurements was tested in the purification process of municipal wastewater, as well. Determination of dielectric behaviour was a sensitive method to detect the purification degree of municipal wastewater.

Glycerol as a byproduct of biodiesel production was approximately formed 10% of the biodiesel weight. Impurities which contained in the glycerol such as catalyst, soap, methanol, water, salt, and matter organic non glycerol (MONG) have a significant effect on the glycerol concentration. So, it is necessary to treat the impurities. The purpose of this study is to know the effect of chloroform to glycerol purification process with acidification method using hydrochloric acid as pretreatment process. This research was begun with acid addition to the glycerol to neutralize the base content and to split the soap content into free fatty acid and salt, that are more easily separated from glycerol. Then the process was continued with extraction by the solvent chloroform using the variable of test volume ratio (v/v) (1:1, 1:1.5, 1:2)  and the extraction time (20, 40, and 60 minutes). The results showed that the more volume of solvent used, gave less extraction time to produce high purity of glycerol. The highest purity produced in this study amounted to 90,9082% is obtained at the ratio of the volume solvent (v/v) 1:1 with extraction time 60 minutes.
