A self-contained closed aquaponics system comprises an aquarium tank attached side-by-side to a water container for growing plants, having a shared side. An electrically powered water pump streams the water from the aquarium tank via a pipe to the bottom of a compartment in the water container. When the water in the water tank exceeds a pre-set water level, the water are poured back to the aquarium tank via a recess or slit in the shared side. The compartment may comprise a bio-filter that is a sponge filter, a foam cartridge filter and the undergravel filter. The aquarium tank or the water container may be rectangular or cuboid shaped. A cover adapted to cover the water container may include multiple openings for mounting plants in pot nets therein, where roots of the plants are fed from the fish excretions in the aquarium tank after being filtered by the bio-filter.

Multiple embodiments are described for water and wastewater treatment using bio-ZVI to remove nitrate, nitrite, perchlorate, chlorinated organic compounds, nitroaromatic compounds, arsenic, selenium, phosphorus, etc. from water. ZVI may also provide an iron nutrient to enhance biological activity, and the oxidized ferric can serve as flocculent to improve sludge dewater characteristics.

Water treatment systems including electrically-driven and pressure-driven separation apparatus configured to produce a first treated water suitable for use as irrigation water and a second treated water suitable for use as potable water from one of brackish water and saline water and methods of operation of same.

Provided is a water quality analysis device capable of keeping the device in a clean state without leaving an operation at the time of device power supply activation to an operator and without wasting time and wash water. The water quality analysis device is configured such that: a memory 21 capable of storing a stored content in a cut-off state of the device power supply is provided; the states of the vessels, such as an IC reactor 1 and a TC reactor 2, in which sample water is injected at the time of an analysis operation are sequentially stored in the memory 21; contents of the memory 21 are read at the time of the device power supply activation; and a cleaning operation is automatically executed according to prescribed procedures with the states read for each reactor 1 and 2 as a starting point. Thus, even after the power supply interruption due to, e.g., power outage, the device is kept in a clean state with minimum necessary operations.

Disclosed are decoupled systems and methods for producing an oxidized liquid. The method comprises the steps of generating an ozone strong water in a mass transfer unit, mixing the ozone strong water with a process liquid in a mixing unit to form a homogeneous and gas-free mixture of the ozone strong water and the process liquid, forwarding the homogeneous and gas-free mixture to a reaction unit, and producing the oxidized liquid in the reaction unit. The method utilizes the acidic feed liquid to generate ozone dissolved in water having a higher concentration at a saturated or nearly saturated concentration compared to prior art processes at atmospheric pressure and neutral or alkaline pH.

A method and device for in-situ enriching Anammox bacteria by conventional activated sludge, which belongs to a biological wastewater treatment technology. The device comprises a raw water tank, an anammox reactor and a water outlet tank. The method comprises the following steps: (1) taking traditional activated sludge from a municipal wastewater plant as inoculation sludge without special requirements on form of reactor and water quality of inflow; the mainstream anammox in-situ enrichment being realized mainly in three stages; (2) carbon and phosphorus removal stage, wherein carbon and phosphorus removal sludge is domesticated through joint control of aerobiotic time and sludge retention time; (3) partial nitrification stage, wherein the stage is realized through gradually extending the aerobiotic time; (4) anammox bacteria in-situ enrichment stage, wherein good culture retention conditions are provided through the artificial regulation strategies: (5) the method of the present invention only needs to construct or utilize the existing traditional activated sludge wastewater biological treatment devices and equipment without adding agents, which is conducive to the application of practical engineering.

A filtering medium, a method for the production thereof, the use of said filtering medium and a method for reducing the content of multiple contaminants simultaneously in fluids by means of said filtering medium, wherein said filtering medium has or includes at least one of the following: a mixture (A) containing a major part of an iron-based powder and a minor part of a silver powder, an iron-silver powder alloy (B), and an iron-based porous and permeable composite containing silver (C).

The application relates to the field of microbiology and presents a salt-tolerant heterotrophic nitrification aerobic denitrifying and phosphorus removal bacterial strain and its application. The strain is Pseudomonas mendocina A4, deposited on Nov. 4, 2022, at the Guangdong Microbial Culture Collection Center, located at Building 59, 5th Floor, No. 100 Xianlie Middle Road, Yuexiu District, Guangzhou, Guangdong Province, with the deposit number GDMCC No: 62944.
