Carbon, nutrients, and heat are available in vast quantities wastewater. However, technologies that can effectively extract chemicals energy needed to realize wastewater as a sustainable resource. Recent advances wetting-resistant porous membranes, termed vapor-gap membranes (VGMs), have demonstrated they well-suited the facile, selective, cost-effective recovery of volatile resources from In this review, we examine promise limitations VGM-based processes with particular focus on two types wastewater: dissolved compounds low-grade heat. We begin by discussing driving forces selective mechanisms required for extraction different through VGMs. Then, current status challenges using VGMs presented. also analyze resource potential thermal its Based membrane capabilities, process requirements, availability, assess feasibility valorization identify research needs achieve high efficiency, long-term reliability, scalability.

Polysaccharides in extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) can form a hybrid matrix network with proteins, impeding waste-activated sludge (WAS) fermentation. Amino sugars, such as N-acetyl-d-glucosamine (GlcNAc) polymers and sialic acid, are the non-negligible components EPS of aerobic granules or biofilm. However, occurrence amino sugars WAS their degradation remains unclear. Thus, (∼6.0%) were revealed, genera Lactococcus Zoogloea identified for first time. Chitin was used substrate to enrich chitin-degrading consortium (CDC). The COD balances methane production ranged from 83.3 95.1%. gradually converted oligosaccharides GlcNAc after dosing enzyme. After doing enriched CDC WAS, final markedly increased 60.4 ± 0.6 mL, reflecting an increase ∼62%. Four model substrates (GlcNAc acid) polysaccharides (cellulose dextran) could be by CDC. Treponema (34.3%) core bacterium via excreting chitinases (EC 3.2.1.14) N-acetyl-glucosaminidases 3.2.1.52), especially genetic abundance 2.5 times higher than that WAS. this study provides elegant method utilization sugar-enriched organics.
