Abstract The fluctuation of domestic wastewater characteristic inhibits the current conventional microbial-based treatment. The bioremediation fungi has received attention and reported to be an effective alternative to treat industrial wastewater. Similar efficient performance is envisaged for domestic wastewater whereby assessed performance of fungi for varying carbon-to-nitrogen ratios in domestic wastewater is crucial. Thus, the performance of pre-grown wild-Serbian Ganoderma lucidum mycelial pellets (GLMPs) was evaluated on four different synthetic domestic wastewaters under different conditions of initial pH (pH 4, 5, and 7) and chemical oxygen demand (COD) to nitrogen (COD/N) ratio of 3.6:1, 7.1:1, 14.2:1, and 17.8:1 (C3.6N1, C7.1N1, C14.2N1, and C17.8N1). The COD/N ratios with a constant concentration of ammonia–nitrogen (NH3–N) were chosen on the basis of the urban domestic wastewater characteristics sampled at the inlet basin of a sewage treatment plant (STP). The parameters of pH, COD, and NH3–N were measured periodically during the experiment. The wild-Serbian GLMPs efficiently removed the pollutants from the synthetic sewage. The COD/N ratio of C17.8N1 wastewater had the best COD and NH3–N removal, as compared to the lower COD/N ratio, and the shortest treatment time was obtained in an acidic environment at pH 4. The highest percentage for COD and NH3–N removal achieved was 96.0% and 93.2%, respectively. The results proved that the mycelium of GLMP has high potential in treating domestic wastewater, particularly at high organic content as a naturally sustainable bioremediation system.

Abstract In Egypt, pharmaceuticals consumption is dramatically increasing, owing to the population growth and the unrestricted sale manner. Therefore, the occurrence and fate of nine pharmaceutical compounds (PhCs) were scrutinized at the different stages of sewage treatment plant (STP) in Giza, Egypt. Levels of these PhCs were assessed in wastewater and sludge phases by a high-performance liquid chromatography coupled. Nine PhCs were detected in both wastewater and sludge. Average concentration of the total PhCs detected in influent, primary sedimentation effluent and final effluent were 227, 155 and 89 µg/L, respectively. The overall removal efficiency of the individual PhCs ranged from 18 % to 72 % removal. The occurrence trend revealed that biodegradation and sorption are the concurrently removal mechanisms of the studied PhCs. As well, the calculated total mass load of individual PhCs were in the range 328 – 42256, 152 – 26180, and 257 – 6625 g d-1 for influent, effluent and sludge. Meanwhile, the calculated range of personal mass load of the individual PhCs was 193 – 15274, 120 – 10864 and 34 - 265 µg d-1 Pe-1, for the influent, the final effluent and the sludge, respectively. The overall personal pharmaceutical consumption per day in West of Greater Cairo was estimated based on influent concentration of STP. Sulfamethoxazole, paracetamol and diclofenac were identified with the highest levels in the influent of STP, PSE and FE as well as in the dewatered sludge. Furthermore, the high concentrations of these compounds in the sludge confirms the sorption pathway removal of PhCs. Generally, the average daily and annual consumption per capita of the most dominant PhCs in wastewater; sulfamethazole, paracetamol and diclofenac are 60.09, 34.79, and 26.69 mg d-1 Pe-1 and 22, 12.52, and 12.52 g y-1 Pe-1, respectively. Moreover, risk assessment (RQ) for the detected PhCs in FE is greatly higher than the predicted non-effect concentration (PNEC). Conclusively, the FE of STP is considered a risky source for PhCs in adjacent surface water.

Domestic Wastewater Treatment

Conventional domestic wastewater treatment in most developing countries is confined to secondary treatments, mainly focusing on solids and organics removal, which results in eutrophication when the effluents are discharged into receiving bodies. Thus, to resolve the issues associated with the conventional treatment system, in the present study, microalgae was introduced in the primary treated effluent collected from a sewage treatment plant to study the efficiency of the system in reducing eutrophication and other challenges of secondary treatment. Phycoremediation is an effective and eco-friendly treatment alternative that reduced the primary-treated effluent’s PO4-P, NH3-N and COD concentration to 97.89%, 98.81%, and 88.24%, respectively at the identical HRT practiced for secondary treatment. One-way ANOVA was also conducted to determine the effectiveness of the system statistically. The experimental and statistical analysis proved that microalgal treatment could resolve the challenges of conventional secondary treatments if adopted for domestic wastewater.
