Effects of aeration rates on the performance and microbial characteristics of partial nitrification under high dissolved oxygen condition

Partial nitrification is the rate-limiting step in the short-cut biological nitrogen removal process. On the premise of stable nitrite accumulation, increasing aeration rate can improve the activity of aerobic ammonia-oxidizing bacteria (AOB), and then accelerate the ammonia oxidation. In this study, the effects of aeration rates on the performance and microbial characteristics of partial nitrification in SBR under high dissolved oxygen conditions were investigated. The results showed that the ammonia oxidation rate increased with the elevation of the aeration rate. When the aeration rate per unit volume was 0.8, 1.7, 3.3 and 5.0 L·min^-1·L^-1, the ammonia oxidation rate stayed at about 50%, the nitrite accumulation rate was stable above 99%, and the average ammonia oxidation rates were 0.88, 0.96, 1.29 and 1.32 mg·L^-1·min^-1, respectively. The high-throughput sequencing results that Nitrosomonas was the dominant AOB under different aeration rates, while nitrite-oxidizing bacteria were effectively inhibited, with a very low abundance of Nitrospira. Additionally, a variety of denitrifying bacteria were detected, including Acidovorax, Denitisoma, Hypomicrobium and Ignavibacterium. These denitrifying bacteria can interact with AOB to make a small amount of endogenous simultaneous nitrification and denitrification in the system. Considering the aeration energy consumption and the reaction rate, when the aeration rate is 3.3 L·min^-1·L^-1, the partial nitrification process can achieve prominent ammonia oxidation with low consumption.
