硫酸盐和Fe(Ⅱ)EDTA-NO/Fe(Ⅲ)EDTA厌氧还原过程特性及微生物群落分析

在生物法烟气脱硫技术(Bio-FGD)和络合吸收生物还原脱硝技术(BioDeNO_x)基础上,提出了生物结合络合吸收同步脱硫脱硝的工艺思路,该工艺利用加入Fe(Ⅱ)EDTA的碱性吸收液同时吸收烟气中的二氧化硫(SO_2)和一氧化氮(NO).本研究在厌氧反应器中实现烟气脱硫脱硝吸收产物硫酸盐和Fe(Ⅱ)EDTA-NO/Fe(Ⅲ)EDTA的同步去除.结果表明,水力停留时间为16 h,p H维持在7.0时,硫酸盐的平均去除率为95.16%,Fe(Ⅱ)EDTA-NO的平均去除率为96.61%.硫酸盐的还原产物主要以液相中硫离子和气相中硫化氢的形式存在,Fe(Ⅱ)EDTA-NO的最终还原产物为N2.反应运行的各个阶段均可实现Fe(Ⅲ)EDTA的还原,但还原率会随HRT降低而下降.第5阶段反应器中主要的硫酸盐还原菌为Desulfomicrobium,同时存在异养反硝化菌Pseudomonas与两种硫自养反硝化菌Sulfurimonas与Sulfurovum,并发现了两种具有还原单质硫功能的菌属Thermovirga与Mesotoga.     

Shifts in microbial community structure and diversity in a MBR combined with worm reactors treating synthetic wastewater

The chemical oxygen demand (COD) and NH₃-N removal, membrane fouling, sludge characteristics and microbial community structure in a membrane bioreactor (MBR) coupled with worm reactors (SSBWR) were evaluated for 210 days. The obtained results were compared to those from a conventional MBR (C-MBR) operated in parallel. The results indicated that the combined MBR (S-MBR) achieved higher COD and NH₃-N removal efficiency, slower increase in membrane fouling, better sludge settleability and higher activities of the related enzymes in the activated sludge. Denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis was used to analyze the microbial community structures in the C-MBR and the S-MBR. The microbial community structure in the S-MBR was more diverse than that in the C-MBR. Additionally, the slow-growing microbes such as Saprospiraceae, Actinomyces, Frankia, Clostridium, Comamonas, Pseudomonas, Dechloromonas and Flavobacterium were enriched in the S-MBR, further accounting for the sludge reduction, membrane fouling alleviation and wastewater treatment.
