SBR单级自养脱氮系统氮素转化途径

利用氮素计量关系和批式实验研究了SBR系统中基于短程硝化的单级自养脱氮特性和脱氮途径。结果表明,SBR系统获得良好脱氮效果,TN最高去除负荷和去除速率分别达0.49 kg N/(m3.d)和0.20 kg N/(kg VSS.d);系统中82%的氨氮转化成气体脱除,10%的氨氮转化成硝酸盐氮。批式实验结果表明,SBR系统中的污泥同时具有厌氧氨氧化、亚硝酸盐氧化和自养反硝化活性,三者的反应速率分别为0.12 kg NH4+-N/(kg VSS.d)、0.04 kg NO2--N/(kg VSS.d)和0.03 kg NO2--N/(kg VSS.d)。综上,SBR系统中氮的脱除是短程硝化、厌氧氨氧化和反硝化共同作用的结果,产生的硝酸盐是厌氧氨氧化和硝化作用所致。     

硝酸盐浓度及投加方式对反硝化除磷的影响

采用SBR反应器，详细研究了硝酸盐浓度及其投加方式对反硝化除磷过程的影响。结果表明，缺氧环境下的反硝化吸磷速率与作为电子受体的硝酸盐浓度有很大的关系，硝酸盐浓度越高．吸磷速率越快。当硝酸盐浓度较低．不足以氧化反硝化聚磷菌细胞内的PHB从而导致体系反硝化除磷效率的下降。相同浓度的硝酸盐，采用流加的方式可以获得比一次性投加更高的反硝化吸磷速率。缺氧环境下，反硝化脱氮量与磷的吸收量成良好的线性关系．借助于反硝化聚磷菌，反硝化脱氮与除磷可在一种环境中完成，有效解决了废水中COD不足的问题．同时达到了节省能源和降低污泥产量的目的。     

水温和C/N对土地生物过滤处理系统氮去除的影响

在流量为40 L/d、回流比为200％的条件下,以碎石为填料,结合小试实验研究了温度和COD/NH4+-N(C/N)对AO型污水土地生物过滤处理系统,处理人工生活污水中氮的影响.实验结果表明,随水温和C/N的升高,首先系统对NH4+-N的去除率先增大后减小,当水温为7.3℃、C/N为5时,系统对NiH4+-N的去除率最高,达到了91.1％;其次系统反硝化率逐渐升高,当水温为8.2℃、C/N为6时,反硝化率达到了95.4％;此外,系统中硝化反硝化作用受到影响,导致对TN的去除率先增大后减小,当水温为8.2℃、C/N为6时,系统对TN的去除率达到49.91％.在厌氧阶段,系统TN的去除主要靠反硝化作用将硝酸盐氮脱除,并且存在中间产物积累;进入好氧阶段,系统通过硝化作用将氨氮转化为硝酸盐氮,只是氮素形态的转化,并未从系统中脱氮.     

生物基质对煤渣改良地下渗滤系统脱氮效果的影响

地下渗滤系统(SWIS)对硝化、反硝化过程调控不灵活,导致其对氮的去除效果不够理想。组建了两套SWIS装置(1#装置:65～80cm段没有生物基质;2~#装置:65～80cm段添加生物基质),对沿程氮素、硝化和反硝化作用强度及氮还原酶活性进行分析。结果表明,两套装置均表现为硝化反应主要发生在20～60cm段,反硝化反应主要发生在60～80cm段。2~#装置的反硝化作用明显强于1#装置,因此其TN去除率高于1~#装置。硝化作用强度随深度增加而递减,反硝化作用强度随深度增加而递增。硝酸盐还原酶(NAR)活性随深度的增加而逐渐减弱,亚硝酸盐还原酶(NIR)活性随深度的增加先减弱后又增强。主要原因是2~#装置中添加了干化污泥作为生物基质,为反硝化作用补充了碳源,增强了脱氮能力。     

可降解餐盒去除地下水硝酸盐的砂槽模拟实验研究

采用室内砂槽实验装置,研究了以可降解餐盒(BMB)为反硝化碳源的生物反应器对于模拟污水中硝酸盐的去除效果及其影响因素。结果表明,以BMB为反硝化碳源的反应器启动时间短。当进水硝酸盐浓度为50 mg/L,水温为25℃,水力停留时间为1.15 d时,硝酸盐的去除率可达92.6%以上,实验过程中出现亚硝酸盐积累,出水TOC浓度上升,但反应稳定后亚硝酸盐浓度均低于0.1 mg/L,且TOC浓度有下降趋势;水力停留时间减小或者进水硝酸盐浓度增加均能使得脱氮效率降低,但当水力停留时间在0.57~1.15 d,进水硝酸盐浓度在50~80 mg/L范围变化时,反应器硝酸盐去除效率仍能达到80%以上;温度对反硝化作用影响较大,当温度为(20±1)℃时,硝酸盐的去除效率仅为62.0%、74.4%和97.5%。     

玉米秸秆碳源释放特征及反硝化效果

通过静态和动态实验研究了玉米秸秆的碳源释放规律,并考察其浸出液作为反硝化碳源对高、中、低硝酸盐氮的去除效果。实验结果表明,玉米秸秆可有效地释放碳源物质,静态实验中,固液比为1∶30时单位质量碳源释放的COD最多达254 mg/g,释放速率最快为13.37 mg/(g·d);动态实验中,秸秆长度为3 cm、水力停留时间(HRT)为48 h时,单位质量碳源释放的COD最多达826.26 mg/g,COD的速率最快为26.65 mg/(g·d)。反硝化过程中p H变化不明显,在7.0~8.0范围之间浮动。以玉米秸秆浸出液为反硝化碳源对中、低浓度的硝酸盐氮具有较好的去除效果,去除率保持在80%以上,甚至高达94%,但对高浓度的硝酸盐氮去除率仅在60%~80%之间。研究表明,玉米秸秆有较强的持续供碳能力,是一种经济合适的碳源材料,采用玉米秸秆浸出液作为去除地下水中硝酸盐氮的生物反硝化碳源是可行的。     

一株反硝化细菌的分离鉴定及其反硝化特性简

从处理城镇污水的移动床生物膜反应器中分离获得一株反硝化细菌D₃，并进一步研究该菌株的系统发育地位及反硝化特性。采用16S rDNA序列分析对菌株进行初步鉴定，探讨了基质浓度、起始pH和温度对菌株反硝化活性的影响。根据形态学特征、生理生化特性及16S rDNA序列测定分析，初步鉴定菌株属于寡养单胞菌属。该菌能利用硝酸钠或亚硝酸钠进行反硝化作用，最佳电子受体是硝酸盐氮，反硝化速率最大为19.86 mg/（L·h），最适生长pH为7.36，最适生长温度为33.5℃。菌株D₃在初始硝态氮浓度为140 mg/L，以乙酸钠为惟一碳源，pH为7.36，温度33.5℃的最优生长条件下，培养10 h进入对数生长期，倍增时间为9.9 h，48 h内硝酸盐还原率达95%。     

废水中硝氮和COD浓度对AD-MFC脱氮产电性能的影响

为探明废水中硝氮和COD浓度对阳极反硝化微生物燃料电池(AD-MFC)工作性能的影响,在批式操作下逐步提高进水浓度考察了AD-MFC反硝化速率和产电性能的变化,并以多个动力学模型对此过程进行拟合。结果表明,废水浓度可通过污染物降解速率来影响产电性能,硝氮浓度从50 mg/L升高至2 000 mg/L时,反硝化速率和输出电压逐渐达到最大值((1.26±0.01)kg N/(m3·d)和(1 016.75±4.74)mV),但硝氮浓度继续提高会抑制反硝化速率和产电性能。Han-Levenspiel模型可较好地表征AD-MFC的污染物降解和产电动力学行为,以该模型为基础建立了污染物去除速率、输出电压、功率密度与进水浓度之间的关系,反硝化在NO-3-N高于4 000 mg/L时才能被完全抑制。AD-MFC适用于处理不同浓度的硝酸盐废水,并对高浓度硝酸盐废水具有较好的耐受性。     

低浓度乙酸盐诱导下厌氧氨氧化与异养反硝化高效耦合脱氮

通过连续流实验研究了低浓度乙酸盐诱导下厌氧氨氧化颗粒污泥与异养反硝化菌的耦合脱氮性能,同时采用批试实验考察耦合系统中的氮素转化及去除途径。结果表明:采用低浓度乙酸盐对厌氧氨氧化颗粒污泥进行驯化,可以实现厌氧氨氧化与异养反硝化的高效耦合脱氮。系统在稳定时期,进水NH_4~+-N为30~40 mg·L~(-1)、NO_2~--N为45~55 mg·L~(-1)、CH_3COONa为60~80 mg·L~(-1),NH_4~+-N、NO_2~--N和TN的去除率分别为93.84%、94.62%和86.46%。耦合系统中的颗粒污泥同时存在厌氧氨氧化特性、硝化特性和反硝化特性。颗粒污泥表现出良好的厌氧氨氧化特性,总氮去除速率为12.46 mg·(g MLSS·h)~(-1)。系统中存在的硝化细菌可以消耗进水中的溶解氧从而缓解溶解氧对ANAMMOX菌的抑制,其中AOB活性高于NOB活性。系统中颗粒污泥对硝氮的反硝化作用强于对亚硝氮的反硝化作用,亚硝氮反硝化和硝氮反硝化的降解速率分别为1.89和3.59 mg·(g MLSS·h)~(-1)。当亚硝氮和硝氮同时存在时,反硝化菌优先将硝氮还原成亚硝氮。     

影响活性污泥脱氮效率的因素

活性污泥对氮的去除主要通过硝化和反硝化作用来进行。温度、pH、溶解氧浓度、污泥龄、毒性物质、污水性质(有机物含量、氮浓度)都会对系统脱氮能力产生影响。一般较高的pH、延长污泥龄、较低的溶解氧浓度和较低的有机碳浓度均能提高系统的硝化能力,反硝化/硝化系统具有投资省、脱氮效率高等优点。除甲醇外,其它一些工业废弃物也可作为促进反硝化作用的碳源。由于厌氧环境有利于反硝化作用,所以厌氧/好氧(A/O)法和间歇式活性污泥法(SBR)具有极高的脱氮效率。     

Investigation of solid-phase buffers for sulfur-oxidizing autotrophic denitrification.

This paper investigates biological denitrification using autotrophic microorganisms that use elemental sulfur as an electron donor. In this process, for each gram of nitrate-nitrogen removed, approximately 4.5 g of alkalinity (as calcium carbonate) are consumed. Because denitrification is severely inhibited below pH 5.5, and alkalinity present in the influent wastewaters is less than the alkalinity consumed, an external buffer was needed to arrest any drop in pH from alkalinity consumption. A packed-bed bioreactor configuration is ideally suited to handle variations in flow and nitrate loading from decentralized wastewater treatment systems, as it is a passive system and thus requires minimal maintenance; therefore, a solid-phase buffer packed with the elemental sulfur in the bioreactor is most suitable. In this research, marble chips, limestone, and crushed oyster shells were tested as solid-phase buffers. Bench- and field-scale studies indicated that crushed oyster shell was the most suitable buffer based on (1) the rate of dissolution of buffer and the buffering agent released (carbonate, bicarbonate, or hydroxide), (2) the ability of the buffer surface to act as host for microbial attachment, (3) turbidity of the solution upon release of the buffering agent, and (4) economics.     

Application of plant carbon source for denitrification by constructed wetland and bioreactor: review of recent development

Water quality standard for nitrate becomes more and more strict, and the plant carbon source is widely used for denitrification by constructed wetland (CW) and bioreactor. However, the nitrate removal efficiency by different types of plant carbon source are not evaluated comprehensively. Denitrification performance of different plant carbon sources, and the influence of dosing method and pretreatment are thoroughly reviewed in this paper, which aims to investigate the accurate utilization of plant carbon source for nitrogen (as nitrate) removal. It is concluded that plant carbon source addition for all types of CWs and bioreactors can improve the nitrate removal efficiency to some extent, and the dosing method of plant carbon source for denitrification should be further studied and optimized in the future. The popular carbon sources for CW and bioreactor denitrification enhancement are woodchip, chopped macrophytes, crop plants, macrophytes litters, etc. The recommended optimum C:N ratios for CW and bioreactor are 4.0:5.0 and 1.8:3.0, respectively. The physical and biological pretreatments are selected to supply organic carbon for long-term denitrification.     

Denitrification controls in urban riparian soils: implications for reducing urban nonpoint source nitrogen pollution

The purpose of this research was to thoroughly analyze the influences of environmental factors on denitrification processes in urban riparian soils. Besides, the study was also carried out to identify whether the denitrification processes in urban riparian soils could control nonpoint source nitrogen pollution in urban areas. The denitrification rates (DR) over 1 year were measured using an acetylene inhibition technique during the incubation of intact soil cores from six urban riparian sites, which could be divided into three types according to their vegetation. The soil samples were analyzed to determine the soil organic carbon (SOC), soil total nitrogen (STN), C/N ratio, extractable NO₃ ^?-N and NH₄ ⁺-N, pH value, soil water content (SWC), and the soil nitrification potential to evaluate which of these factors determined the final outcome of denitrification. A nitrate amendment experiment further indicated that the riparian DR was responsive to added nitrate. Although the DRs were very low (0.099?~?33.23 ng N₂O-N g^?1 h^?1) due to the small amount of nitrogen moving into the urban riparian zone, the spatial and temporal patterns of denitrification differed significantly. The extractable NO₃ ^?-N proved to be the dominant factor influencing the spatial distribution of denitrification, whereas the soil temperature was a determinant of the seasonal DR variation. The six riparian sites could also be divided into two types (a nitrate-abundant and a nitrate-stressed riparian system) according to the soil NO₃ ^?-N concentration. The DR in nitrate-abundant riparian systems was significantly higher than that in the nitrate-stressed riparian systems. The DR in riparian zones that were covered with bushes and had adjacent cropland was higher than in grass-covered riparian sites. Furthermore, the riparian DR decreased with soil depth, which was mainly attributed to the concentrated nitrate in surface soils. The DR was not associated with the SOC, STN, C/N ratio, and pH. Nitrate supply and temperature finally decided the spatiotemporal distribution patterns of urban riparian denitrification. Considering both the low DR of existing riparian soils and the significance of nonpoint source nitrogen pollution, the substantial denitrification potential of urban riparian soils should be utilized to reduce nitrogen pollution using proper engineering measures that would collect the polluted urban rainfall runoff and make it flow through the riparian zones.

Field test of a cross-injection scheme for stimulating in situ denitrification near a municipal water supply well

A pilot-scale test of an in situ denitrification scheme was undertaken to assess an adaptation of the nutrient injection wall (NIW) technology for treating a deep (30-40 m) nitrate contamination problem (N-NO(-)(3) ~ 10-12 mg/L). The adaptation is called the Cross-Injection Scheme (CIS). It duplicates the NIW method without a wall; wells are installed and operated directly in the aquifer and high-flux zones of the aquifer are preferentially targeted for treatment. The test was conducted on the site of a municipal water supply well field, with the supply well pumping between 15-80 m(3)/h. Acetate was periodically injected into the aquifer between an injection-extraction well pair positioned across the normal direction of flow. The injected pulses were then permitted to move with the water toward the municipal wells, providing a carbon supply to drive the desired denitrification. The fate of nitrate, nitrite, acetate and sulphate were monitored at multilevel wells located between the injection location and the municipal wells. The acetate pulsing interval was approximately weekly (9 h injections), so that the system was operating passively 95% of the time. Previous work on the site has established that the highest solute fluxes were associated with a 1-3 m thick zone about 35 m below surface. This zone was found to respond to the acetate additions as a function of the municipal pumping rate and the carbon-to-nitrogen ratio (i.e., determined by the injected acetate concentration). Initially, acetate was injected just below the theoretical stoichiometric requirement for complete denitrification and nitrate disappearance was accompanied by nitrite production. Increasing the C:N ratio (doubling the acetate injection concentration) increased the removal of nitrate and diminished the occurrence of nitrite. Slowing the municipal pumping rate, with a C:N ratio of 1.2-1.6, resulted in complete nitrate attenuation with no nitrite production and no sulfate reduction. The experiment demonstrated that the CIS injection scheme is a viable option for the treatment of nitrate contamination in situ near high-capacity wells.

从经驯化的污泥中筛选出一株异养硝化-好氧反硝化细菌，编号为TN-05，通过形态学特征观察，生理生化特征试验和核酸序列分析鉴定其为门多萨假单胞菌（pseudomonasmendocina）。同时对其进行脱氮性能研究，结果表明，TN-05具有较好的异养硝化能力，菌株在培养至48h时对总氮和氨氮去除率均能达95％以上。通过反硝化能力验证实验发现，菌株对NO3-N和N0f—N也分别具有较好的去除效率。将菌株应用于人工合成废水中，发现对废水中氨氮优先利用并能在24h时使去除率接近100％，对硝态氮和亚硝态氮也具有一定的去除效率。因此，菌株TN-05是一株同时具备异养硝化和好氧反硝化能力的高效菌株。     

金属纳米材料在厌氧条件下对脱氮副球菌反硝化作用的影响

以脱氮副球菌YF1为实验菌株,研究纳米Fe0和纳米Fe/Ni 2种金属纳米材料对菌体生长及其反硝化作用的影响。实验结果表明:添加纳米材料到反应体系中会降低实验菌株的生长量和生物反硝化作用,纳米Fe/Ni对实验菌株的毒性比纳米Fe0大。在含硝态氮初始浓度为100 mg/L的反硝化培养基中接种脱氮副球菌,于30℃培养20 h,脱氮率为89.47%,而菌+1 000 mg/L纳米Fe/Ni的体系脱氮率仅为64.33%;菌+1 000 mg/L纳米Fe0体系的脱氮率为76.36%。不同体系的反硝化过程均可采用零级动力学模型进行拟合(相关系数R2>0.92)。这2种金属纳米材料对实验菌株的生长量及其反硝化作用的影响程度,与体系的pH和温度有较大关系。     

Biological denitrification of high strength nitrate waste using preadapted denitrifying sludge

Denitrification of synthetic high nitrate waste containing 9032 ppm NO(3)-N (40,000 ppm NO(3)) in a time period of only 6h has been achieved in our previous study using activated sludge. The activated sludge culture was acclimatized by a stepwise increase in the nitrate concentration of synthetic waste. In the present work, studies were carried out on the changing microbial population of the sludge and the physiology of nitrate metabolism during the various stages of adaptation process to high strength synthetic nitrate waste. During the course of adaptation, with an increase in the nitrate concentration, a sharp increase in the number of denitrifiers was found with an equally rapid decrease in the nitrifying community. Two key enzymes involved in the first two steps of the denitrification process were also studied during this period. The results of the study suggest that specific enzyme levels increase as the activated sludge adapts itself to higher nitrate concentrations. Biological denitrification of high nitrate waste is a slow process and to increase the rate of denitrification, parameters such as pH, temperature, C:N and biomass concentration of the process were optimized using orthogonal array method. Optimized conditions increased the specific nitrate reduction rate by 54% and specific nitrite reduction rate by 45%.     

Denitrification in cypress swamp within the Atchafalaya River Basin, Louisiana

Nitrogen has been implicated as a major cause of hypoxia in shallow water along the Louisiana/Texas, USA coasts. Excess nitrogen (mainly nitrate) from Mississippi and Atchafalaya River drainage basins may drive the onset and duration of hypoxia in the northern Gulf of Mexico. Restoring and enhancing denitrification have been proposed to reduce and control coastal hypoxia and improve water quality in the Mississippi River Basin. Sediments were collected from six baldcypress restoration sites within the Atchafalaya River Basin, Louisiana, USA. The acetylene blockage technique was used to measure background and potential sediment denitrification rates. Denitrification fluxes were measured before nitrate addition (background rates) and after nitrate addition of 100mgNl(-1) (potential denitrification) at three seasonal temperatures. Background denitrification was low across all cypress swamp sites ranging from 0.9 to 8.8, 0.6 to 28.5 and 8.8 to 47.5g N evolved ha(-1)d(-1) at water/sediment column temperatures of 8, 22 and 30 degrees C, respectively. After nitrate addition, temperature had a significant effect on sediment denitrification potential. Maximum rates measured at 8, 22 and 30 degrees C were approximately 250-260, 550 and 970gNha(-1)d(-1), respectively. Most of the added nitrate in water columns, incubated at 8 degrees C, was removed after 65d compared to 32d and 17d at 22 and 30 degrees C, respectively. These results indicate cypress swamps have the potential to assimilate and process elevated levels of floodwater nitrate with denitrification being a major removal mechanism.     

Correlations between in situ denitrification activity and nir-gene abundances in pristine and impacted prairie streams

Denitrification is a process that reduces nitrogen levels in headwaters and other streams. We compared nirS and nirK abundances with the absolute rate of denitrification, the longitudinal coefficient of denitrification (i.e., K_den, which represents optimal denitrification rates at given environmental conditions), and water quality in seven prairie streams to determine if nir-gene abundances explain denitrification activity. Previous work showed that absolute rates of denitrification correlate with nitrate levels; however, no correlation has been found for denitrification efficiency, which we hypothesise might be related to gene abundances. Water-column nitrate and soluble-reactive phosphorus levels significantly correlated with absolute rates of denitrification, but nir-gene abundances did not. However, nirS and nirK abundances significantly correlated with K_den, as well as phosphorus, although no correlation was found between K_den and nitrate. These data confirm that absolute denitrification rates are controlled by nitrate load, but intrinsic denitrification efficiency is linked to nirS and nirK gene abundances.
