Abstract:

Seafood processing wastewater contains high concentrations of organics and nutrients that need to have an effective solution. This study aims to explore the use of granular sludge in seafood wastewater treatment using anaerobic-anoxic-aerobic (AAO) process. The results showed that the granular sludges were successfully cultivated from the traditional activated sludge sources. The bioreactor demonstrated robust treatment performance, achieving a high chemical oxygen demand (COD) removal efficiency exceeding 93%, total nitrogen (TN) removal ranging from 56.6% to 68.6%, and ammonium removal (NH₄ ⁺-N) of 80% to 88.57%. However, total phosphorus (TP) removal efficiency was relatively moderate at 47.36% ± 10.33%. Metagenomic analysis (16S rRNA) revealed a diverse and evenly distributed microbial community within the granular sludge. In anaerobic granular sludge, the dominant phylum was Bacillota (45.3%), followed by Thermodesulfobacteriota (18.2%) and Synergistota (11.24%), with minor contributions from Campylobacterota (7.58%), Chloroflexota (3.98%), and Bacteroidota (3.6%), alongside other less abundant phyla (10.1%). Anoxic granular sludge exhibited a shift, with Pseudomonadota (32.87%) and Thermodesulfobacteriota (25.08%) dominating, while Bacillota (11.95%), Bacteroidota (7.9%), and Chloroflexota (4.1%) contributed less, and other phyla comprised 18.21%. For aerobic granular sludge, Pseudomonadota represented the most prevalent phylum (42.21%), followed by Thermodesulfobacteriota (14.94%) and Bacillota (14.87%), with lower abundances of Bacteroidota (7.74%) and Chloroflexota (4.91%), while other phyla accounted for 15.42%.

Parallel Processing

Parallel Processing

The brain processes sensory information rapidly due to parallel processing, which involves sending data across multiple neural pathways at the same time. This method allows the brain to manage various sensory qualities, such as shapes, colors, movements, and locations, all concurrently. For instance, when observing a forest landscape, the brain simultaneously processes the movement of leaves, the shapes of trees, the depth between them, and the various shades of green. This enables a quick and...

Information Processing Approach

Information Processing Approach

The information-processing theory of cognitive development centers on fundamental mental processes, including attention, memory, and problem-solving skills. Researchers in this field examine how cognitive abilities, such as working memory, evolve and influence children's overall development. Studies indicate that children with stronger working memory tend to excel in reading comprehension, math, and problem-solving compared to peers with less efficient memory skills. Low working memory is...

Processes of Self-Presentation

Processes of Self-Presentation

Effective self-presentation is a central component of social interaction and identity construction. It relies on the dynamic processes of defining the situation and engaging in self-disclosure. These mechanisms help individuals navigate social context expectations and manage how others perceive them, fostering mutual understanding and relationship development.Defining the SituationSocial situations are shaped by collectively understood frames—a set of widely understood rules or...

Isothermal Processes

Isothermal Processes

A thermodynamic process that occurs at constant temperature is called an isothermal process. Heat slowly flows into the system or out of the system to maintain thermal equilibrium. Processes involving phase changes like water evaporation into steam or freezing water into ice at a constant temperature are examples of Isothermal Processes.
An ideal gas can also undergo isothermal expansion or compression.
For example, consider 1 mole of an ideal gas inside an isolated cylinder at initial volume V...

Work Done in an Adiabatic Process

Consider the adiabatic compression of an ideal gas in the cylinder of an automobile diesel engine. The gasoline vapor is injected into the cylinder of an automobile engine when the piston is in its expanded position. The temperature, pressure, and volume of the resulting gas-air mixture are 20 °C, 1.00 x 105 N/m2, and 240 cm3 , respectively. The mixture is then compressed adiabatically to a volume of 40 cm3. Note that, in the actual operation of an automobile engine, the compression is not...

Precipitation Processes

Precipitation Processes

The experimental conditions in a gravimetric analysis should be optimized to maximize the particle size and purity of the obtained precipitate. Ideally, the concentration of the precipitating reagent should be low with effective stirring to maintain low relative supersaturation for the growth of large crystals. In homogeneous precipitation, the precipitant is slowly generated by a chemical reaction in the solution to avoid local reagent excesses. For example, urea decomposes gradually to...
