The algal-bacterial granular sludge (ABGS) process is a promising solution for sustainable wastewater treatment, owing to its synergistic contaminant removal, carbon sequestration potential, and reduced energy demand. This review critically synthesiz...
Covering mine tailings with uncontaminated soil is a common strategy to mitigate environmental impacts and promote ecosystem recovery during post-mining land reclamation. Topsoil is often stockpiled for future use as a capping layer, but prolonged st...

This narrative review examines the significant advances of artificial intelligence (AI) in enhancing the identification and microbial degradation of environmentally persistent compounds, addressing major issues in pollution monitoring and management....
Information on the biodegradation potential of organic chemicals in the ecosystem helps us analyze their persistence, bioaccumulation, and toxicity (PBT) behaviour. The environment is exposed to many chemicals from various sources, both intentionally...
This work presents a comprehensive review of phosphorus removal and resource recovery driven by phosphine (PH) in biological wastewater treatment processes, with a particular focus on PH generation. Through a bibliometric analysis using VOSviewer and...

Plastic pollution and contamination originates from raw material handling, polymerization, compounding, and fabrication, contributing to environmental accumulation. Advanced analytical techniques such as Fourier transform infrared, Raman spectroscopy...
Phosphorus (P) pollution in aquatic ecosystems triggers eutrophication, disrupting ecological processes. Although phytoremediation using submerged macrophytes is promising, its efficacy depends on plant-microbe interactions and stoichiometric homeost...
Microbial biodegradation of microplastic (MP) emerges as an environmentally benign and highly promising strategy for alleviating MP pollution in the ecosystem. Conventional approaches for screening MP-degrading bacteria use pollutants as the sole car...
Microbial communities are corner stones of environmental biotechnology, driving essential processes such as waste degradation, pollutant removal, and nutrient cycling, all fundamental to industrial bioprocesses and sustainability. The structure and f...
Biodegradable plastic mulch films (BDM) have been proposed as one of the dominant strategies for plastic pollution prevention in agriculture. As the BDM degradation is a complex process affected by multiple factors, the degradation cycle of BDM has s...
