The disclosure belongs to the technical field of flue gas treatment and provides a method for denitration of flue gas. The method includes in the presence of anammox bacteria, subjecting a NO.sub.x-containing flue gas and an ammonia water to an anammox reaction.

A method for preparing agricultural products from a biological sludge containing microbial cells includes the steps of: subjecting the biological sludge to a pretreatment process which includes introducing ozone and supplying a hydraulic pressure to generate cavitation to destroy cell wall of the microbial cells; and subjecting the pretreated biological sludge to a solid-liquid separation treatment to obtain a solid fraction including cell debris and a liquid fraction including a cell lysate solution.

An example method for drying wastewater solids can include blending an anaerobically digested and de-watered biosolid cake with a previously biodried biosolid to form a mixed biomaterial pile and shaping the mixed biomaterial pile to form a static pile. The method also includes aerating the static pile by forced air ventilation throughout the mixed biomaterial pile to form a biodried material and dividing the biodried material into a recycle biosolid and a dried biomaterial product that is then suitable for disposal or use in agriculture or horticulture applications.

A water treatment system that removes calcium and magnesium using coagulants and pH controls, aqueous phase organic materials from water using a biological removal system that includes microorganisms and a physical separation system that includes sparging equipment for sparging the water to remove non-aqueous phase liquid organic materials, volatile phase organic materials. An apparatus, system and method for pretreating oilfield produced water to completely remove or significantly reduce concentrations of substances that are known to interfere with downstream recovery of metals including lithium. This technology facilitates a more efficient and cost-effective extraction method from alternate sources to meet the increasing global demand.

A hybrid activated iron-biological treatment system and method for treating wastewater. The treatment system includes a combination of zero valent iron, ferrous iron, an iron oxide, and a denitrification microorganism.

Animal and poultry solid waste material are treated with a preferred lactobacillus organism, preferably plant derived, in a liquid medium, preferably non-chlorinated water for time sufficient to reduce odor a significant amount.

The present invention provides advanced livestock wastewater treatment systems, devices and methods for simultaneous removal of nitrate (nitrite) from treated wastewater at cathode chamber and of organics, suspended solids and malodor (caused by volatile fatty acids) from raw wastewater at anode chamber using anaerobic bioelectrochemical system (BES). The present invention provides a device comprising at least one anode chamber equipped inside with at least one anode, and at least one cathode chamber equipped inside with at least one cathode, wherein the anode chamber is attached to the cathode chamber via separator in order to transport anions or cations between the anode chamber and the cathode chamber.

Methods and systems for bioremediation of heavy metal contaminants in waste materials (e.g., sludge and combustion wastes from a coal-fixed power plant). The systems described in the present application include at least one waste treatment unit (e.g., a flue gas cleaner or a waste lagoon) that includes one or more selected bacterial strains disposed therein consume and/or reclaim at least a portion of the heavy metal in the combustion wastes. Methods include inoculating a waste treatment unit with one or more selected bacteria that consume and/or reclaim at least a portion of the heavy metal in the combustion wastes. Methods may include periodic reinoculation of the waste treatment unit with fresh bacteria and period recovery of the bacteria from the waste treatment unit.

A method of providing, maintaining and using a youthful added microbe population for the treatment of wastewater. A method of providing green sustainable microbiology net zero carbon solution to waste water and waste material treatment using biofermentation to treat the waste water and waste material with aa treatment containing biofermented microbes.

A method of remediation of soil and groundwater containing hydrocarbons and halogenated compounds. The method includes introducing a remediation composition into the soil that includes: (a) a first bioremediation material including a first blend of organisms capable of degrading the hydrocarbons; (b) a second bioremediation material including a second blend of organisms differing from the first blend of organisms that is chosen for degrading the halogenated compounds; (c) an organic compound such as a complex carbohydrate (e.g., food grade starch); and (d) a third blend of organisms degrading the organic compound. The degrading of the organic compound breaks the complex carbohydrate into smaller molecules that are utilized by the microorganisms of at least one of the first and second bioremediation materials during the degrading of the hydrocarbons and the halogenated compounds. The first bioremediation composition typically includes activated carbon capable of adsorbing the hydrocarbons and the halogenated compounds.
