The integration of methanogenesis with denitrification and anaerobic ammonium oxidation in an expaned granular sludge bed reactor

The integration of methanogenesis with denitrification and anaerobic ammonium oxidation (ANAMMOX) was studied in an expanded granular sludge bed (EGSB) reactor in this work. Experimental results from the continuous treatment of wastewater with nitrite and ammonium, which lasted for 107 days, demonstrated that wastewater with high nitrite and ammonium could be anaerobically treated in an expanded granular sludge bed reactor. More than 91% to 97% of COD were removed at up to about 3.9 g COD/(L x d) of COD volumetric loading rate. More than 97% to 100% of nitrite was denitrified at up to about 0.8 g NO2(-) -N/(L x d), which is 16 times higher than that in a conventional activated sludge system with nitrification/denitrification (0.05 gN/(L x d)). No dissimilatory reduction of nitrite to ammonium occurred in the process. However, maximum of about 40% ammonium was found to be lost. Batch tests of 15 days with sludge from the reactor showed that 100% of nitrite was denitrified completely, and about 3% of ammonium was removed when only ammonium (34.3 mg/L) and nitrite (34.3 mg/ L) were added into the sludge suspension medium. Furthermore, about 15% of ammonium amounts were lost with organic COD addition. It suggested that the methanogenesis in the system could enhance ANAMMOX because of intermediate hydrogen produced during methanogenesis.     

厌氧氨氧化微生物颗粒化及其脱氮性能的研究

利用厌氧颗粒污泥作为种泥,启动SBR反应器,旨在培养厌氧氨氧化颗粒污泥以及研究其脱氮性能.结果表明,水力停留时间(HRT)是富集厌氧氨氧化微生物的1个重要控制因素,以HRT为30 d,第58 d时,SBR反应器就出现厌氧氨氧化现象,与此同时,颗粒污泥由灰黑色变为棕褐色,粒径减小.到第90 d时,成功培养出厌氧氨氧化颗粒污泥,NH⁺₄-N和NO^-₂-N同时被去除,最大去除速率分别达到14.6 g/(m³·d)和6.67 g/(m³·d).从第110　d开始,逐步降低HRT,以提高基质负荷促进厌氧氨氧化菌生长.到目前t＝156　d,HRT降到5　d,氨氮和亚硝酸氮的去除率分别达到60.6%和62.5%,亚硝酸氮/氨氮的比率为1.12.污泥也由棕褐色变为红棕色,形成红棕色的具有高厌氧氨氧化活性颗粒污泥,总氮负荷达到34.3 g/(m³·d).     

Influence of influent on anaerobic ammonium oxidation in an Expanded Granular Sludge Bed-Biological Aerated Filter integrated system

Shortcut nitrification-denitrification, anaerobic ammonium oxidation (ANAMMOX), and methanogenesis have been successfully coupled in an Expanded Granular Sludge Bed-Biological Aerated Filter (EGSB-BAF) integrated system. As fed different synthetic wastewater with chemical oxygen demand (COD) of 300–1200 mg·L⁻¹ and NH₄⁺-N of 30–120 mg·L⁻¹ at the outer recycle ratio of 200%, the influence of influent on ANAMMOX in the integrated system was investigated in this paper. The experimental results showed that higher COD concentration caused an increase in denitrification and methanogenesis but a decrease in ANAMMOX; however, when an influent with the low concentration of COD was used, the opposite changes could be observed. Higher influent NH₄⁺-N concentration favored ANAMMOX when the COD concentration of influent was fixed. Therefore, low COD =NH₄⁺-N ratio would decrease competition for nitrite between ANAMMOX and denitrification, which was favorable for reducing the negative effect of organic COD on ANAMMOX. The good performance of the integrated system indicated that the bacterial community of denitrification, ANAMMOX, and methanogenesis could be dynamically maintained in the sludge of EGSB reactor for a certain range of influent.

An autotrophic nitrogen removal process：Short-cut nitrification combined with ANAMMOX for treating diluted effluent from an UASB reactor fed by landfill leachate

A combined process consisting of a short-cut nitrification (SN) reactor and an anaerobic ammonium oxidation upflow anaerobic sludge bed (ANAMMOX) reactor was developed to treat the diluted effluent from an upflow anaerobic sludge bed (UASB) reactor treating high ammonium municipal landfill leachate.The SN process was performed in an aerated upflow sludge bed (AUSB) reactor (working volume 3.05 L),treating about 50% of the diluted raw wastewater.The ammonium removal efficiency and the ratio of NO 2 N to NOx-N in the effluent were both higher than 80%,at a maximum nitrogen loading rate of 1.47 kg/(m 3 ·day).The ANAMMOX process was performed in an UASB reactor (working volume 8.5 L),using the mix of SN reactor effluent and diluted raw wastewater at a ratio of 1:1.The ammonium and nitrite removal efficiency reached over 93% and 95%,respectively,after 70-day continuous operation,at a maximum total nitrogen loading rate of 0.91 kg/(m 3 ·day),suggesting a successful operation of the combined process.The average nitrogen loading rate of the combined system was 0.56 kg/(m 3 ·day),with an average total inorganic nitrogen removal efficiency 87%.The nitrogen in the effluent was mostly nitrate.The results provided important evidence for the possibility of applying SN-ANAMMOX after UASB reactor to treat municipal landfill leachate.

Nitrogen removal via nitrite from municipal landfill leachate

A system consisting of a two-stage up-flow anaerobic sludge blanket (UASB), an anoxic/aerobic (A/O) reactor and a sequencing batch reactor (SBR), was used to treat landfill leachate. During operation, denitrification and methanogenesis took place simultaneously in the first stage UASB, and the e uent chemical oxygen demand (COD) was further removed in the second stage UASB. Then the denitrification of nitrite and nitrate in the returned sludge by using the residual COD was accomplished in the A/O reactor, and ammonia was removed via nitrite in it. Last but not least, the residual ammonia was removed in SBR as well as nitrite and nitrate which were produced by nitrification. The results over 120 d (60 d for phase I and 60 d for phase II) were as follows: when the total nitrogen (TN) concentration of influent leachate was about 2500 mg/L and the ammonia nitrogen concentration was about 2000 mg/L, the shortcut nitrification with 85%–90% nitrite accumulation was achieved stably in the A/O reactor. The TN and ammonia nitrogen removal e ciencies of the system were 98% and 97%, respectively. The residual ammonia, nitrite and nitrate produced during nitrification in the A/O reactor could be washed out almost completely in SBR. The TN and ammonia nitrogen concentrations of final e uent were about 39 mg/L and 12 mg/L, respectively.

苯酚对厌氧氨氧化工艺耦合反硝化的启动及脱氮性能的影响

研究了ANAMMOX耦合异养反硝化反应器的启动过程,考察了苯酚浓度对耦合反应器脱氮性能的影响.接种2L(占反应器有效容积的20%)挥发性悬浮固体(MLVSS)为6000mg/L的ANAMMOX颗粒污泥,在pH7.8、温度为25℃、HRT为1.5h的条件下经过86d的培养,ANAMMOX耦合异养反硝化启动成功.实验结果表明,在稳定运行阶段,NH4+-N、NO2--N和TN平均去除率分别为85.4%、86.1%和79.9%,TN平均容积负荷和TN平均去除负荷分别为2.63,2.10kg/(m3·d);ANAMMOX颗粒污泥外面包裹着苯酚反硝化菌;系统内异养反硝化与ANAMMOX存在协同和竞争关系.当苯酚浓度≥0.3mmol/L时,ANAMMOX菌的活性受到很大抑制,苯酚浓度的升高加剧了苯酚反硝化菌与ANAMMOX菌之间的竞争;从脱氮效果及系统稳定两方面综合考虑,当苯酚浓度为0.2mmol/L时,耦合效果最好,消耗的NH4+-N、NO2--N与生成的NO3--N之比为1:1.52:0.11.

升流式污泥床对无机废水中氮硫转化及相互影响

采用无机含氨和硫酸盐(SO₄^2-)废水作为升流式污泥床(USB)反应器进水,研究了其对铵(NH₄⁺)和SO₄^2-的去除以及不同高度污泥层含氮、硫元素的转化途径.结果表明在反应器进水口处由于进水自含氧(外源性氧)和兼性厌氧菌受到氧化应激产生过氧化氢(内源性氧),两种“氧”共同存在下,反应器内生物脱氨量(以氮计)最高达40mg/L左右,且在USB反应器不同高度污泥层含氮化合物和含硫化合物的转化途径不同.在反应器底部污泥层,颗粒污泥表面氨氧化菌利用O₂将氨(NH₄⁺)氧化成亚硝酸盐(NO₂^-),在颗粒污泥内部厌氧氨氧化菌利用NH₄⁺和NO₂^-生成氮气(N₂)和硝酸盐(NO₃^-);同时,O₂的存在使得反应器底部污泥层部分厌氧颗粒污泥裂解,产生少量有机物,在颗粒污泥内部硫酸盐还原菌利用有机物将SO₄^2-还原生成硫离子(S^2-);硫自养反硝化菌利用NO₂^-/ NO₃^-将S^2-重新氧化为SO₄^2-.在反应器上部污泥层,由于只有少量内源性氧的存在,硫自养反硝化菌只能利用少量NO₂^-/ NO₃^-将S^2-氧化为硫单质(S₀);在USB反应器底部污泥层实现NH₄⁺的去除和SO₄^2-的循环,在上部污泥层实现了SO₄^2-的去除.
