A wastewater treatment system for households, individual buildings, hotels, neighborhoods, and wastewater treatment plants is designed to treat wastewater effluent from an initial treatment system such as a septic tank or a primary or secondary treatment system. A self-regenerating bioreactor garden is connected in series with the initial treatment system. The self-regenerating bioreactor garden receives untreated or minimally treated wastewater effluent from the initial treatment system and is designed to dramatically reduce the volume and concentrations of nitrogen, phosphorus, biological oxygen demand, and suspended sediments in the wastewater effluent so that the treated wastewater effluent can be discharged directly into leach field, seepage pit, injection well, or another surrounding environment. The self-regenerating bioreactor garden can meet or exceed the applicable requirements of National Sanitation Foundation, including NSF 245 and NSF 40, and equivalent standards.

Disclosed are a system and method for efficient nitrogen and carbon removal and phosphorus recovery of source-separated fresh urine by biochemical combination. The system includes a functionally zoned membrane aerated biofilm reactor for in-situ nitrogen and carbon removal, a source separation toilet, a source-separated urine storage tank, a phosphorus recovery reactor, a calcium salt solution tank, a water production tank, and a control system. The membrane aerated biofilm reactor is divided into an upper part and a lower part, a micro-aerobic environment is formed in the upper part while an anaerobic environment is formed in the lower part, and thus nitrogen and carbon can be removed only in the membrane aerated biofilm reactor. The system disclosed by the present disclosure can achieve the goal of removing nitrogen and carbon by 95% and more without additional carbon source, and can meet the demand of in-situ sewage treatment on a train.

Various aspects of this disclosure relate to toilet systems that include compositions to inhibit wastewater from freezing in a waste tank of a toilet. A first fluid treatment composition comprises a salt that is introduced into the waste tank. A second fluid treatment composition is a solid composite that also comprises a salt and that is introduced into a urinal in fluid communication with the waste tank.

The present disclosure provides an efficient and stable magnetic nanofiber membrane and a preparation method and use thereof, and belongs to the technical field of composites. The preparation method includes the following steps: dissolving polyacrylonitrile or polystyrene, nZVI particles, and n-octyltrimethylammonium bromide in N,N-dimethylformamide, and mixing uniformly to obtain a spinning solution; subjecting the spinning solution to electrospinning; and vacuum-drying a resulting fiber membrane to obtain the efficient and stable magnetic nanofiber membrane. In the present disclosure, the magnetic nanofiber membrane has a high specific surface area, a desirable porosity, an excellent mechanical strength, and satisfactory magnetic properties. The membrane effectively exerts a synergistic effect of the nZVI particles and an organic polymer material carrier, avoids easy oxidation of a catalyst surface and easy particle agglomeration, enhances a catalytic activity of the magnetic nanofiber membrane, and improves an efficiency in organic wastewater treatment.

A total nitrogen (TN) removal device for sewage and its operation method. The TN removal device includes a denitrification tank, a supplementary reaction zone filled with aerobic granular sludge and a sedimentation and separation zone. The supplementary reaction zone and the sedimentation and separation zone are arranged inside the denitrification tank, and communicated through a three-phase separator. The sedimentation and separation zone is located above the supplementary reaction zone. A top of the sedimentation and separation zone is greater than its bottom. A membrane aerated biofilm reactor (MABR) assembly is arranged in a space formed by outer walls of the sedimentation and separation zone and supplementary reaction zone and an inner chamber of the denitrification tank. A side wall of the denitrification tank is provided with a chemical oxygen demand (COD) detector and a nitrate nitrogen detector.

Provided is a water treatment system 50 having: a first unit 100 having a dirty water generation source; a second unit 200 designed to purify water, the second unit 200 having at least one of a purification tank, a solid-liquid separation tank, and an oil separation tank, and conducting a primary treatment of contaminated water that is received; and a third unit 300 having a contaminated-water inlet, a primary reception tank, an intermediate treatment tank, a reserve treatment tank, a circulation treatment tank, a concentrated water and impurity tank, and an aseptic drainage tank. Each of the first to third units is equipped with a sensor and a valve. The third unit is furthermore equipped with a control device and at least one of a pump, a sterilization device, a disinfection device, and a sterilizer.

A method for differentially lysing a liquid sample or target material using an augmented oxidizing agent (AOA), which includes a quantity of electronically modified oxygen derivatives (EMODs). The method reduces or eliminates total dissolved solids (TDS), total suspended solids (TSS), Biologic Oxygen Demand (BOD), microbial concentration, biofilms and other content in the liquid target material known or suspected to contain animal fluids, blood and blood cells and suspected or known to contain eukaryotic cells, microbial cells, bacteria, viruses, spores, fungi, prions, organic matter, minerals, proteins or associated structures. The BOD, TDS and TSS can be lowered or eliminated as desired. This action is directly proportional to the quantity of EMODs in the AOS applied to the liquid target material.

A resource treatment system for urine and feces separation and recovery in urine diversion dehydration toilets, includes a urine-faeces division toilet, a urine and gray water treatment system, and a fermentation and biodegradation fecal system. The urine-faeces division toilet is configured to separate and recover urine and feces discharged by users. The urine and gray water treatment system includes an adjusting pool, a microalgae culture device and a metal-based electrogenerated dynamic membrane. The adjusting pool is configured to receive the urine in the urine-faeces division toilet and domestic sewage, and adjust a urine-to-domestic sewage ratio. The metal-based electrogenerated dynamic membrane includes a metal microfiltration membrane, a stainless-steel mesh and a power supply. The fermentation and biodegradation fecal system includes a collection and adjusting device, a fermentation bed and a biodegradation chamber.

A fluid recycling unit for use on board an aircraft or other passenger transportation vehicle. The fluid recycling unit captures various types of used fluids, filters or otherwise appropriately treats the fluids, and recycles the fluids for various uses onboard the vehicle.

A wastewater reuse system has a wastewater treatment system connected to a dwelling for receiving wastewater therefrom. The wastewater treatment system has a pump tank with an outlet that can be connected to a central wastewater collection system and/or a re-use recipient of treated wastewater such as an irrigation system.
