This study presented a novel simultaneous partial nitritation (PN), denitratation and anammox (SPNDA) process for treating ammonium and nitrate wastewater. Results indicated that SPNDA could achieve a great total nitrogen (TN) removal of 97.6 ± 0.5%, leading to effluent TN concentration of only 3.4 mg/L. Mass balance indicated that nitrogen removal rates via anammox, simultaneous nitrification and denitrification were 96.7% and 3.3%, respectively. Extended aerobic duration (12 h) and low dissolved oxygen (DO) concentration (0.15 mg/L) could improve ammonia-oxidizing bacteria (AOB) activity and maintain PN stability. The stable suppression of nitrite-oxidizing bacteria activity was attributed to the low DO (0.15 mg/L) and high free ammonia (3.63 mg/L) in SPND. Besides, the nitrogen conversion mechanisms for SPNDA were revealed based on a typical operational cycle. Microbial analysis showed that AOB (Nitrosomonas) and partial denitrifying bacteria (Thauera and Denitratisoma) coexisted with anammox bacteria (Candidatus Brocadia and Candidatus Anammoxoglobus) in the mixotrophic bio-community.
本研究提出了一种新型的同时部分亚硝化(PN)、反硝化和厌氧氨氧化(SPNDA)工艺,用于处理氨氮和硝酸盐废水。结果表明,SPNDA 可以实现高达 97.6±0.5%的总氮(TN)去除率,导致出水 TN 浓度仅为 3.4mg/L。质量平衡表明,通过厌氧氨氧化、同步硝化反硝化的氮去除率分别为 96.7%和 3.3%。延长好氧时间(12 小时)和低溶解氧(DO)浓度(0.15mg/L)可以提高氨氧化菌(AOB)的活性并维持 PN 的稳定性。在 SPND 中低 DO(0.15mg/L)和高游离氨(3.63mg/L)稳定抑制了亚硝酸盐氧化菌的活性。此外,根据典型的运行周期揭示了 SPNDA 的氮转化机制。微生物分析表明,AOB(亚硝化单胞菌)和部分反硝化菌(陶厄氏菌和脱氮硫杆菌)与厌氧氨氧化菌(Candidatus Brocadia 和 Candidatus Anammoxoglobus)共存于混合营养生物群落中。
