Mine closure operations aim to restore the ecosystem a near-original state. Microorganisms are indispensable for soil equilibrium and restoration. Metabarcoding was employed characterize bacterial fungal composition in pristine soils, stockpiled soils (topsoils), enriched (technosoils), revegetated (revegetated technosoils), pit ecosystems an open gold mine. Chao1 analysis revealed highest richness topsoils, followed by technosoils (-17.5%) pits (-63%). Bacterial diversity surpassed (-40%) samples, but OTUs were more abundant samples (+73.4%). The findings identified dominant microbial communities conducted comparative of shared microbiota. Dominant genera differed notably between pristine, topsoil, technosoil bacteria fungi. ecological indices’ results indicated that distinct from those revealing significant alterations during stockpiling process. showed similarity topsoil than freshly prepared technosoil, suggesting restoration is ongoing phenomenon. Microbial recover faster highlighting potential managing physicochemical parameters enhance recovery similar found soils. Runoff water contribute this rebalancing transporting microorganisms ecosystem. All exhibited differences their composition, with moisture rock representing primary axes dissimilarity. greater community complexity observed related availability nutrients, variations, possibility interaction other microbes. Pits represent extreme limit growth most microorganisms. presented research provides scientific basis future strategies improve resilience altered landscapes.

2Nitrogen removal from swine wastewater by combining treated effluent with raw manure
Scientia Agricola, Journal Year: 2012, Volume and Issue: 69(6), P. 352 - 356
Published: Nov. 24, 2012
Effluents from swine raising can be harmful to the environment if not correctly managed. Nitrogen (N) is usually main element present at high concentrations in effluent. Since use as biofertilizer always a feasible alternative, treatment of wastewater necessary. Variations N species and water solubility make difficult expensive. Additional removal low cost via denitrification may possible by recirculating nitrified effluent barns. In this study, raw manure (RM) was homogenized with treated (TE) RM/(RM + TE) ratios 1.0, 0.9, 0.8, 0.7, 0.6, 0.5 0 order simulate effect reused on nitrogen removal. Samples were collected daily during four days analyzed for pH, oxidation-reduction potential, NH4-N, NO2-N, NO3-N chemical oxidation demand. The oxidized (NOx-N) half-life degradation estimated using linear regression. NOx-N less than one day obtained when combined thoroughly manure. It suggested that combining (e.g. reuse) simple cost-effective strategy remove wastewaters.

This paper presents the automation of a real activated sludge wastewater treatment plant, which is located at San Antonio Ajijic in Jalisco, Mexico. The main objective to create an on-line automatic supervision system, and regulate dissolved oxygen concentration order improve performances process treating municipal wastewater. An approximate mathematical model determined evaluate via simulations different control strategies: proportional integral (PI), fuzzy PI Logarithm/Antilogarithm (PI L/A). controlled variable input injected oxygen. Based on this evaluation, L/A controller selected be implemented process. After that, implementation, testing fully operation plant are described. With considered save energy improves effluent quality; also, monitoring done online it easily operated by users.

A pilot study was performed over 91 days to determine if the activated sludge process could treat a segregated stripped sour water (SSW) stream from petroleum refinery. The in two periods. first period terminated after 19 days, as result of excessive bulking. elimination bulking during 70-day second is attributed operational changes, which included aerating influent oxidize reduced sulfur, adjusting pH, and adding micronutrients satisfy biological requirements. plant provided chemical oxygen demand (COD) removal up 93%. Nitrification achieved, with effluent ammonia values < 1 mg-N/L. These results indicate that direct treatment SSW possible has application full-scale refinery wastewater upgrades.
