两级自养反硝化实现垃圾渗滤液的深度脱氮

针对目前生物工艺难以解决垃圾渗滤液深度脱氮的问题,探究了短程硝化反硝化-厌氧氨氧化-硫自养反硝化(两级自养)工艺处理高氨氮、低C/N比垃圾渗滤液的脱氮效果。结果表明,当进水垃圾渗滤液中氨氮平均浓度为2 560 mg·L~(-1),COD值为4 000～5 000 mg·L~(-1)时,经过短程硝化反硝化-厌氧氨氧化处理后,总氮去除负荷可达1.19 kg·(m~3·d)~(-1)、总氮去除率可达93.1%(出水TN=176.3 mg·L~(-1))、COD去除率可达52.2%。但是,厌氧氨氧化反应器出水中NO_x~--N浓度为154.5 mg·L~(-1),仍未达到我国生活垃圾填埋场垃圾渗滤液处理排放标准(TN≤40 mg·L~(-1))。在厌氧氨氧化反应器之后串联硫自养反硝化,整体工艺最终出水NH_4~+-N、NO_2~--N、NO_3~--N平均浓度分别为1.9、0.6、9.7 mg·L~(-1),TN≤15 mg·L~(-1),进水总氮去除率为99.5%。在短程硝化反硝化-厌氧氨氧化-硫自养反硝化两级自养深度脱氮反应系统中实现了垃圾渗滤液深度脱氮。

传统生物脱氮除硫过程中存在着许多问题。近年来,通过对脱氮微生物的深入研究,生物脱氮技术取得了突破性进展,而在生物同步脱氮除硫方面发展相对缓慢。总结了包括反硝化除硫、硫酸盐还原—自养反硝化—硝化、反硝化氨氧化以及硫酸盐型厌氧氨氧化等生物同步脱氮除硫工艺的特点,分析了各自的工艺原理及面临的挑战,并提出了今后的研究方向。     

有机物浓度对厌氧氨氧化脱氮性能影响试验研究

通过间歇试验和连续试验研究了不同有机物浓度对厌氧氨氧化活性及脱氮性能的影响。间歇试验结果表明：自养条件下厌氧氨氧化菌的最大比反应速率为0.189 kg NH⁺₄-N/（kg VSS·d）；当氨氮和亚硝酸盐氮浓度为80 mg/L时，有机物的添加降低了厌氧氨氧化速率，当有机物浓度超过70 mg/L时，厌氧氨氧化菌的最大比反应速率降低到0.05 kg NH⁺₄-N/（kg VSS·d）以下，是反硝化菌与厌氧氨氧化菌竞争亚硝酸盐产生了可逆抑制的结果。连续试验结果表明，高氮低碳源有机环境下厌氧氨氧化能稳定运行，并且比自养系统中总氮的去除率有所提高，当COD值为50 mg/L时，总氮去除率最大，平均值达96.59%，是反硝化菌和厌氧氨氧化菌共同脱氮的结果；当有机物浓度过高时，ANAMMOX对TN去除贡献率持续降低，反硝化不断得到强化，厌氧氨氧化运行不稳定。     

PCR-DGGE研究亚硝化-电化学生物反硝化全自养脱氮工艺细菌多样性

采用分子生物学手段PCR-DGGE技术对亚硝化-电化学生物反硝化全自养脱氮工艺细菌的多样性进行了研究。结果表明,亚硝化段内主要的细菌种群为相似于Nitrosomonas sp.(AJ224410)和Nitrosomonas sp.NM41(AF272421)的种群,相似性分别为97%和94%;电化学生物反硝化段细菌类群主要有β-proteobacteria类群、γ-proteobacteria类群和Chlo-roflexi类群。填料上生物膜细菌种群较底部泥水混合物丰富,两者细菌种群相似性为75%;底部泥水混合物样中存在与厌氧氨氧化菌Brocadia anammoxidans(AF375994)相似性为93%的菌种,而填料上生物膜中存在与Thioalkalivibrio sp.K90mix(EU709865)和Thiobacillus thioparus(AJ243144)相似性分别为94%、97%的菌种,其中Thiobacillus thioparus(AJ243144)是典型的硫自养反硝化菌,表明填料上生物膜中有大量的硫自养反硝化菌。     

基于SBBR的单级自养脱氮快速启动

以普通活性污泥为接种污泥,采用人工配制无机氨氮废水进行单级自养脱氮工艺快速启动研究。启动过程经历了污泥适应期、部分短程硝化选择期以及单级自养脱氮实现期3个阶段。经过29 d的培养驯化,通过控制游离氨的方法实现了部分短程硝化。当出水中亚硝酸盐积累率达到60%左右时,立即将序批式生物膜反应器(SBBR)由连续曝气改为间歇曝气,间歇曝气使得厌氧氨氧化菌(AAOB)的富集与亚硝酸氧化菌(NOB)的淘汰同时进行,并且避免了高浓度亚硝酸盐对AAOB的抑制作用,从而实现了单级自养脱氮的快速启动。实验仅用50 d成功启动了SBBR单级自养脱氮工艺,总氮容积去除负荷达到0.173 kg N/(m3·d),氨氮的平均去除率达到98.68%,总氮的平均去除率达到80.87%。成功启动之后,反应器内只有少量的悬浮污泥,大部分的污泥都附着在填料上,污泥颜色呈褐色,而反应器内壁及出水管上附着的污泥呈浅砖红色,表明反应器内富集了大量的AAOB。     

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。     

基于天然椰丝纤维填料的低氨氮废水SNAP系统自然挂膜构建

针对低氨氮废水单级自养脱氮工艺(SNAP)系统的构建需要接种特殊种源且工程应用复杂的问题,采用生物亲和性好的天然椰丝纤维为填料,开展了低氨氮废水SNAP系统自然挂膜构建实验,考察了进水COD/TN对系统脱氮效能及脱氮路径的影响.结果 表明:在温度为(30±1)℃、进水氮负荷为0.1 kg·(m3·d)-1时,采用自然挂膜以及进水NH4+-N质量浓度梯度递减(由(100±3) mg·L-1降至(50±2) mg·L-1)的运行方式,经过85 d的运行,初步构建出低氨氮废水SNAP系统;该系统NH4+-N和TN去除率分别为94.58％和70.07％;系统脱氮功能菌属主要有Nitrosomonas、Candidatus Brocadia.此外,进水COD/TN对系统脱氮效能及脱氮路径影响显著.当进水COD/TN分别为0、0.2、0.5、1、2时,系统TN平均去除率分别为70.07％、72.09％、75.18％、82.19％、62.19％;对于低氨氮废水,当COD/TN≤0.2时,系统主要脱氮路径为厌氧氨氧化;当COD/TN为0.5～1.5时,系统脱氮路径以短程硝化反硝化为主,厌氧氨氧化为辅;当COD/TN≥2时,系统通过短程硝化反硝化、厌氧氨氧化路径脱氮能力进一步降低.     

电极生物膜耦合硫自养强化型人工快渗系统脱氮性能

由于人工快渗(CRI)系统对TN去除率较低,该技术在污水处理领域的应用受到限制。为提高TN去除率,将电极生物膜和硫自养反硝化技术耦合应用于CRI系统,考察了"异养+氢自养+硫自养"反硝化脱氮的可行性,并通过菌群结构解析了电极生物膜耦合硫自养强化脱氮的机理。结果表明,电极生物膜耦合硫自养强化型CRI系统在电流强度为15mA时,TN平均去除率可达73.0%,相比传统CRI系统提高了48.0百分点。从稳定运行的电极生物膜耦合硫自养强化型CRI系统反硝化区共检测出231个已知菌属,其中具有硫自养反硝化功能的产硫酸杆菌属(Thiobacillus)和具有氢自养反硝化功能的噬氢菌属(Hydrogenophaga)相对丰度较高,分别为35.9%、15.7%。硫自养反硝化、氢自养反硝化和异养反硝化的共同作用促进了CRI系统脱氮性能的提高。

Micro-electrolysis/retinervus luffae-based simultaneous autotrophic and heterotrophic denitrification for low C/N wastewater treatment

Nitrogen bioremediation in organic insufficient wastewater generally requires an extra carbon source. In this study, nitrate-contaminated wastewater was treated effectively through simultaneous autotrophic and heterotrophic denitrification based on micro-electrolysis carriers (MECs) and retinervus luffae fructus (RLF), respectively. The average nitrate and total nitrogen removal rates reached 96.3 and 94.0% in the MECs/RLF-based autotrophic and heterotrophic denitrification (MRAHD) system without ammonia and nitrite accumulation. The performance of MRAHD was better than that of MEC-based autotrophic denitrification for the wastewater treatment with low carbon nitrogen (COD/N) ratio. Real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) revealed that the relative abundance of nirS-type denitrifiers attached to MECs (4.9%) and RLF (5.0%) was similar. Illumina sequencing suggested that the dominant genera were Thiobacillus (7.0%) and Denitratisoma (5.7%), which attached to MECs and RLF, respectively. Sulfuritalea was discovered as the dominant genus in the middle of the reactor. The synergistic interaction between autotrophic and heterotrophic denitrifiers played a vital role in the mixotrophic substrate environment.     

Taking advantage of aerated-anoxic operation in a full-scale University of Cape Town process.

To evaluate the potential benefits or limitations of aeratedanoxic operation in high-rate biological nutrient removal processes, we conducted a full-scale experiment in a University of Cape Town (UCT)-type wastewater treatment plant by reducing oxygen supply and increasing flowrates within one treatment train so that aerated-anoxic conditions (i.e., zones that receive oxygen but maintain dissolved oxygen concentrations below 0.5 mg/L) could be implemented in a section of the aerated zone. With this retrofitted configuration, total nitrogen removal increased from 54 to 65%, but was limited by the organic carbon available for denitrification. Furthermore, the significant reduction in dissolved oxygen concentrations in the aerated zone did not negatively affect enhanced biological phosphorus removal, demonstrating that the implementation of an aerated-anoxic zone within a UCT-type reactor can contribute to a reduction in operational costs and a slight improvement in total nitrogen removal, without compromising the extent of phosphorus removal.     

Nitrifying community analysis in a single submerged attached-growth bioreactor for treatment of high-ammonia waste stream.

This study investigated the nitrifying community structure in a single-stage submerged attached-growth bioreactor (SAGB) that successfully achieved stable nitrogen removal over nitrite of a high-strength ammonia wastewater. The reactor was operated with intermittent aeration and external carbon addition (methanol). With influent ammonia and total Kjeldahl nitrogen ranging from 537 to 968 mg/L and 643 to 1510 mg/L, respectively, 85% nitrogen removal was obtained, and effluent was dominated by nitrite (NO2-/NOx > 0.95). Nitrifying community analysis using fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), with a hierarchical set of probes targeting known ammonia-oxidizing bacteria (AOB) within beta-proteobacteria, showed that the AOB community of the biofilter consists almost entirely of members of the Nitrosomonas europaea/eutropha and the Nitrosococcus mobilis lineages. Image analysis of FISH pictures was used to quantify the identified AOB, and it was estimated that Nitrosomonas europaea/eutropha-like AOB accounted for 4.3% of the total volume of the biofilm, while Nitrosococcus mobilis-like AOB made up 1.2%; these numbers summed up to a total AOB fraction of 5.5% of the total volume on the biofilm. Nitrite-oxidizing bacteria (NOB) were not detectable in the biofilm samples with probes for either Nitrospira sp. or Nitrobacter sp., which indicated that NOB were either absent from the biofilters or present in numbers below the detection limit of FISH (< 0.1% of the total biofilm). Nitrite oxidizers were likely outcompeted from the system because of the free ammonia inhibition and the possibility that the aeration period (from intermittent aeration) was not sufficiently long for the NOB to be released from the competition for oxygen with heterotrophs and AOB. The nitrogen removal via nitrite in a SAGB reactor described in this study is applicable for high-ammonia-strength wastewater treatment, such as centrate or industrial wastes.     

Completely autotrophic nitrogen-removal over nitrite in lab-scale constructed wetlands: evidence from a mass balance study

A mass-balance study was carried out to investigate the transformation of nitrogenous pollutants in vertical flow wetlands. Landfill leachate containing low BOD, but a high concentration of ammonia, was treated in four wetland columns under predominately aerobic conditions. Influent total nitrogen in the leachate consisted mainly of ammonia with less than 1% nitrate and nitrite, and negligible organic nitrogen. There was a substantial loss of total nitrogen (52%) in one column, whereas other columns exhibited zero to minor losses (<12%). Net nitrogen loss under study conditions was unexpected. Correlations between pH, nitrite and nitrate concentrations indicated the removal of nitrogen under study conditions did not follow the conventional, simplistic, chemistry of autotrophic nitrification. Through mass-balance analysis, it was found that CANON (Completely Autotrophic Nitrogen-removal Over Nitrite) was responsible for the transformation of nitrogen into gaseous form, thereby causing the loss of nitrogen mass. The results show that CANON can be native to aerobic engineered wetland systems treating wastewater that contains high ammonia and low BOD.     

Feasibility of a membrane-aerated biofilm reactor to achieve single-stage autotrophic nitrogen removal based on Anammox

A laboratory-scale membrane-aerated biofilm bioreactor (MABR) equipped with non-woven fabrics support around the gas-permeable carbon tube was developed for single-stage autotrophic nitrogen removal based on partial nitrification and anaerobic ammonium oxidization. This reactor allowed air to be supplied through the microporous carbon tube wall to the biofilm that was supported by non-woven fabrics. The partial nitrification and consumption of dissolved oxygen occurred in the inner layer and Anammox in the anoxic outer layer of the non-woven fabrics, thus realizing autotrophic nitrogen removal in a single reactor. After 116d of operation, the maximal nitrogen removal of 0.77kgNm(-3)d(-1) at a volumetric ammonium loading rate of 0.87kgNm(-3)d(-1) was achieved. The spatial profiles of the ammonia-oxidizing bacteria and Anammox bacteria were evaluated by fluorescence in situ hybridization. This study demonstrated that MABR was a very suitable experimental set-up for the operation of the single-stage autotrophic nitrogen removal process.
