Denitrification and biofilm growth in a pilot-scale biofilter packed with suspended carriers for biological nitrogen removal from secondary effluent

Tertiary denitrification is an effective method for nitrogen removal from wastewater. A pilot-scale biofilter packed with suspended carriers was operated for tertiary denitrification with ethanol as the organic carbon source. Long-term performance, biokinetics of denitrification and biofilm growth were evaluated under filtration velocities of 6, 10 and 14 m/hr. The pilot-scale biofilter removed nitrate from the secondary effluent effectively, and the nitrate nitrogen (NO₃-N) removal percentage was 82%, 78% and 55% at the filtration velocities of 6, 10 and 14 m/hr, respectively. At the filtration velocities of 6 and 10 m/hr, the nitrate removal loading rate increased with increasing influent nitrate loading rates, while at the filtration velocity of 14 m/hr, the removal loading rate and the influent loading rate were uncorrelated. During denitrification, the ratio of consumed chemical oxygen demand to removed NO₃-N was 3.99–4.52 mg/mg. Under the filtration velocities of 6, 10 and 14 m/hr, the maximum denitrification rate was 3.12, 4.86 and 4.42 g N/(m²·day), the half-saturation constant was 2.61, 1.05 and 1.17 mg/L, and the half-order coefficient was 0.22, 0.32 and 0.24 (mg/L)^1/2/min, respectively. The biofilm biomass increased with increasing filtration velocity and was 2845, 5124 and 7324 mg VSS/m² at filtration velocities of 6, 10 and 14 m/hr, respectively. The highest biofilm density was 44 mg/cm³ at the filtration velocity of 14 m/hr. Due to the low influent loading rate, biofilm biomass and thickness were lowest at the filtration velocity of 6 m/hr.

基于猪场废水脱氮的典型木质素降解中间产物反硝化性能

猪场废水高效生物脱氮通常面临碳源不足的问题,秸秆在猪场周边广泛存在,是废水脱氮的潜在碳源来源,但其中的木质素难以被生物降解与利用.选取木质素降解过程的典型中间产物肉桂酸、对香豆酸和阿魏酸为研究对象,探究了其用作碳源的反硝化脱氮性能,以期为猪场废水脱氮过程秸秆“返碳”利用提供理论依据.批次试验表明,当C/N由6依次降低至3时,肉桂酸、对香豆酸和阿魏酸作为碳源时的最大比反硝化速率测定值分别为9.4、8.6、1.1 mg·g^-1·h^-1.采用Haldane模型拟合,计算出这3种中间产物作为碳源时的最大比反硝化活性分别为20.7、17.0和1.6 mg·g^-1·h^-1.肉桂酸用作反硝化碳源的潜力大于对香豆酸,阿魏酸则难以作为碳源进行反硝化脱氮.长期试验表明,随着反应器进水C/N由3升高至6,肉桂酸和对香豆酸的硝酸盐去除率分别稳定在90%和85%左右.高通量测序结果表明,肉桂酸组的污泥中典型反硝化细菌Thauera的丰度高于对香豆酸组,故反硝化效果更好.综上所述,定向调控木质素降解为肉桂酸有望缓解猪场废水生物...

An advanced anaerobic biofilter with effluent recirculation for phenol removal and methane production in treatment of coal gasification wastewater

An advanced anaerobic biofilter (AF) was introduced for the treatment of coal gasification wastewater (CGW), and effluent recirculation was adopted to enhance phenol removal and methane production. The results indicated that AF was reliable in treating diluted CGW, while its efficiency and stability were seriously reduced when directly treating raw CGW. However, its performance could be greatly enhanced by effluent recirculation. Under optimal effluent recirculation of 0.5 to the influent, concentrations of chemical oxygen demand (COD) and total phenol in the effluent could reach as low as 234.0 and 14.2 mg/L, respectively. Also, the rate of methane production reached 169.0 mL CH₄/L/day. Though CGW seemed to restrain the growth of anaerobic microorganisms, especially methanogens, the inhibition was temporary and reversible, and anaerobic bacteria presented strong tolerance. The activities of methanogens cultivated in CGW could quickly recover on feeding with glucose wastewater (GW). However, the adaptability of anaerobic bacteria to the CGW was very poor and the activity of methanogens could not be improved by long-term domestication. By analysis using the Haldane model, it was further confirmed that high effluent recirculation could result in high activity for hydrolytic bacteria and substrate affinity for toxic matters, but only suitable effluent recirculation could result in high methanogenic activity.
