  In this work, a novel boehmite-modified carbon adsorbent (BMCC) derived from moldy corn was used for simultaneous removal of P and bisphenol A (BPA) from livestock wastewater. The results showed that BMCC had a high specific surface area (308.82 m2/g) with boehmite nanoparticles anchored on its surface. BMCC showed high P and BPA decontamination capabilities (40.98 mg/g for P and 54.65 mg/g for BPA by Langmuir model). The adsorbed amount of P declined as pH increased from 4 to 10, while the adsorbed amount of BPA remained steady until pH increased to 10. After 6 cycles of BMCC use, the P and BPA adsorption efficiencies reduced by 21.75 % and 19.41 %, respectively. The adsorption of P was dominated by electrostatic attraction and complexation, while the adsorption of BPA was controlled by hydrogen bonding, electrostatic interaction, and π-π association. In conclusion, BMCC is an effective treatment for decontaminating P- and BPA-contaminated livestock wastewater.

  Humus is the main product of organic waste composting in agriculture. The conversion of carbon and nitrogen in composting is controlled by ammonifying microorganisms (AM), but their role and mechanisms in humus formation are unclear. This study used multiple spectroscopic and microbiological techniques to explore how new ammonifying microorganism cultures (NAMC) molecularly affect humus formation in cow manure and straw compost. NAMC increased humus by 3.45 % – 9.46 %, resulting in enhanced humic acid and reduced fulvic acid. NAMC (especially Amm-4) also altered the chemical properties of humus, producing highly reactive amides and creating binding sites for low molecular weight compounds. NAMC enhanced the formation of O-H and C = O functional groups, which contributed to the formation of the aromatic structure and facilitated the three-dimensional polymerization of humus. Furthermore, NAMC promoted the Maillard and lignin pathways of humus formation, as revealed by structural equation models. This study provides new insights into the molecular mechanisms of NAMC-mediated humus formation during composting.
