“…Nitrogen is a nutrient essential to all forms of life as a basic building block of plant and animal proteins (Schuur and Matson 2001). Although it is an essential nutrient for living organisms, too much of it can be toxic [1,2]. One of the best documented and best understood consequences of human alterations of the nitrogen cycle is the eutrophication of estuaries and coastal seas [3].…”

In our study, a new kind of NH4+ sewage water treatment composite was prepared by melt blending, with synthetic rubber EPDM as the matrix, modified fly ash as the filler. The removal rate of NH4+ increased with increasing pH (The range of pH investigated was 2.0-5.0.), the removal rate of NH4+ decreased with increasing pH (The range of pH investigated was 5.0-9.0.); increasing temperature made against the adsorption, “Room temperature” is the optimum temperature; the removal rate of NH4+ increased with increasing adsorption composite content. When the adsorption reached equilibrium, the removal rate was remain unchanged.

This study evaluated the dual functionality of hydroponic systems to grow edible crops while treating greywater (GW) containing 20 organic micropollutants (OMPs). Various conditions with differing nutrient contents were tested: raw GW, GW with struvite, and GW with commercial nutrient solution. System performance was assessed with plant growth and standard parameters and OMP removal. After 4-week exposure, all conditions produced healthy-looking plants, proving GW as a viable hydroponic growth medium. However, only the condition with commercial solution yielded plants comparable to the biotic control, indicating the necessity of nutrient supplementation. Effluent from condition with well-developed plants met the requirements of the European water reuse legislation (EU 2020/741) for scenarios B–D (food crops not in direct contact with the reclaimed water and industrial crops), and had the highest OMP removal, showcasing the effectiveness of the system for OMP treatment. Estimated calculations of OMP detected in leaves (10/20 OMP detected, predominantly positive and small) resulted in calculated potential human health risks through lettuce intake for two compounds: atenolol and epoxycarbamazepine. These findings support a continued evaluation of the behavior of other OMPs and their transformation products in water–plant systems, and their consideration in legislations on water reuse and food safety.
