Research on intensive nitrogen removal of municipal sewage by mainstream anaerobic ammonia oxidation process.

The anaerobic ammonia oxidation (anammox) process is a pivotal nitrogen removal technique, playing a significant role in the field of wastewater treatment. The paper commences by delineating the merits of the anammox process in comparison to conventional nitrification-denitrification techniques. Subsequently, it delves into the characteristics of different sludge morphologies process of the behavior of anammox bacteria and their reactions to environmental factors. Revising the issues associated with managing urban sewage in mainstream areas., it discusses the issues faced by the anammox process under reduced nitrogen loads, such as restricted activity due to decreased the levels of ammonia nitrogen and nitrite concentrations, as well as the impact of environmental factors like low temperature, organic matter, and sulfur ions. Following this, a comprehensive review of various types of coupled anammox processes is provided, highlighting the advantages and characteristics of partial nitrification (PN), partial denitrification (PD), methane-dependent nitrite/nitrate reduction (DAMO), sulfur-driven autotrophic denitrification (SAD), iron ammonia oxidation (feammox) and algae photoautotrophy coupling techniques, emphasizing their significance in system stability and resource utilization efficiency. Future research directions include exploring the applicability of the anammox process under various temperature conditions and addressing NO-N issues in effluent. The findings from these studies will offer valuable insights for further enhancing the optimization of the anammox process in mainstream urban wastewater treatment.
