污水处理厂SAD工艺小试运行研究

为提高反应器的氮素去除率,在市政污水处理厂进行同步厌氧氨氧化反硝化(SAD)工艺小试.以A/O除磷和亚硝化工艺处理后的生活污水为基质,启动厌氧氨氧化滤柱.反应器启动成功后,基质中投加有机碳源促进反硝化菌生长,启动SAD工艺,研究碳源质量浓度对SAD工艺的影响.由于葡萄糖对厌氧氨氧化菌抑制作用较小,成本较低,作为SAD工艺的有机碳源.结果表明:常温条件下,进水分别投加10,20和30 mg/L Glu,SAD工艺耦合效果良好,平均出水总氮质量浓度为9. 16,8. 10和6. 41 mg/L.相较于厌氧氨氧化工艺,SAD工艺出水总氮质量浓度降低了16%~42%,常温条件下取得了良好的运行效果.冬季水温为10~12℃,基质中投加30 mg/L Glu,SAD工艺稳定性受到破坏并向反硝化工艺转变,出水氨氮质量浓度由0. 5 mg/L增长至6. 2 mg/L.水温对SAD工艺有较大影响,低温条件下SAD工艺中厌氧氨氧化菌与反硝化菌的竞争中占据劣势,工艺稳定性受到破坏.将基质Glu质量浓度降低到20 mg/L,出水总氮质量浓度为6. 5~8. 5 mg/L,冬季SAD工艺出水氨氮和总氮质量浓度满足北京市地方标准的A类排放标准.     

有机碳源对厌氧氨氧化污泥颗粒化的影响

为探究有机碳源对厌氧氨氧化(Anammox)污泥颗粒形成的影响,采用两组平行的SBR,通过改变进水中有机碳源的质量浓度进行研究.结果表明:适量的有机碳源(130 mg/L)可通过提高反应器中的胞外聚合物(EPS)含量从而加速颗粒污泥的形成,提高污泥的沉降性能.添加与不添加有机碳源的两组反应器分别于28和35 d颗粒化成功,平均颗粒粒径分别达450和409μm.过量有机碳源( 230 mg/L)会使污泥出现解体,粒径减小,污泥的沉降性能明显变差.当有机碳源小于110 mg/L时,可通过反硝化作用促进厌氧氨氧化反应从而提高脱氮效率;但是当有机碳源质量浓度大于110 mg/L时,会抑制厌氧氨氧化反应,并降低脱氮效率.在厌氧氨氧化工艺实际运行中,应避免有机物质量浓度超过110 mg/L.     

Autotrophic biological nitrogen removal from saline wastewater under low DO

BACKGROUND: This study was conducted to investigate the feasibility and performance of nitrogen removal through the complete autotrophic nitrogen removal over nitrite (CANON) process for saline wastewater in a continuous reactor, and to characterize microorganisms in the sludge from the reactor using DNA‐based techniques. RESULTS: The nitrogen removal experiment in the reactor was operated over five phases for 286 days treating a synthetic sewage of 1.2% salinity at 21–25 °C. At dissolved oxygen (DO) concentrations of 0.5–1.0 mg L^?1 and in the presence of glucose, NO₂^? was accumulated, indicating the activity of ammonia‐oxidizing bacteria (AOB). At DO concentration of 0.5 mg L^?1 without organic substrate, the anaerobic ammonium oxidation (Anammox) process was the major pathway responsible for nitrogen removal, with a total nitrogen removal of 70% and an ammonium conversion efficiency of 96%. A maximum ammonium removal rate of 0.57 kg‐N m^?3 d^?1 was achieved during the experimental period. The concentrations of AOB and Anammox bacteria were monitored over the operation of reactor using quantitative real‐time polymerase chain reaction (qRT‐PCR). CONCLUSION: In this study, autotrophic nitrogen removal process was achieved under salinity condition in a one‐reactor system. An over 100 fold increase of AOB was found due to the increased supply of ammonium at the beginning, then AOB concentration decreased temporarily in correspondence with the decreased DO, and the AOB resumed their concentration at the last phase. The Anammox bacteria abundance was about 150 fold higher than that at the beginning, indicating the successful enrichment of Anammox bacteria in the reactor.

Apatite accumulation enhances the mechanical property of anammox granules

The strength of granular sludge is essential for the mechanical stability of the granules. Inorganic precipitants form a major factor influencing the strength of the granules. To check the possibility of apatite accumulation in anammox granules, and study its contribution to the mechanical strength of granules, anammox granular sludge was collected from Dokhaven municipal wastewater treatment plant, the Netherlands. Mineral precipitation inside the granules was visualized by micro-computed tomography, and apatite was identified by electron probe microanalysis and X-ray powder diffraction. The mechanical strength of anammox granules was measured by a low load compression tester. The contribution of apatite to the mechanical strength was evaluated by the generalized Maxwell model. Ca–PO₄ minerals are reported to accumulate in anammox granules. A transformation of Ca–PO₄ happens, and apatite is the final stable form. The accumulation of apatite increases the mechanical strength of anammox granules. A fast method to monitor and evaluate the accumulation of minerals in anammox granules was proposed.     

厌氧氨氧化强化技术的研究进展

厌氧氨氧化(Anammox)是一种环境友好的新型生物脱氮技术。但是,Anammox菌世代时间长、环境敏感度高,导致Anammox工艺启动周期过长,致使其工业化进程滞缓。一些强化技术可加快Anammox启动进程并提高其运行效能,促进Anammox研究在广度和深度上的发展。介绍了外加电场、磁场、超声波以及添加Fe元素、氧化石墨烯等Anammox工艺强化技术,从强化效果和可能的机理等方面对已取得的成果进行论述,并指出该强化技术未来的应用前景和研究方向。     

反硝化除磷+短程反硝化厌氧氨氧化工艺的深度脱氮除磷效能

为经济高效地去除城市生活污水和硝酸盐废水中的氮磷元素,本研究在厌氧折流板反应器（ABR）和连续搅拌反应器（CSTR）一体式反应器中分别建立了反硝化除磷（DPR）和短程反硝化厌氧氨氧化（PDA）工艺。结果表明,反应器运行185天,在缺氧/厌氧和外加COD/NO{}_{\mathrm{3}}^{-}-N比仅为0.7条件下,PO{}_{\mathrm{4}}^{\mathrm{3}-}-P和TN的去除率高达96.91%和97.75%,最终出水PO{}_{\mathrm{4}}^{\mathrm{3}-}-P和TN的浓度低至0.22mg/L和3.30mg/L,意味着该系统极佳的脱氮除磷效果不依赖氧气和有机碳源量。DPR对系统PO{}_{\mathrm{4}}^{\mathrm{3}-}-P和TN的去除均占主体部分（99.07%和60.23%）,而PDA对总氮（TN）的去除占比呈现逐渐上升的趋势（4.53%→37.52%）。批次实验表明：①COD（300mg/L）显著抑制DPR菌活性,PO{}_{\mathrm{4}}^{\mathrm{3}-}-P主要是在缺氧状态下以NO{}_{\mathrm{3}}^{-}-N为电子受体,有机物为电子供体通过DPR途径去除;②高效短程反硝化过程（亚硝酸转化率92.25%）稳定为厌氧氨氧化供给电子受体（NO{}_{\mathrm{2}}^{-}-N）,DPR系统剩余NH{}_{\mathrm{4}}^{+}-N主要被NO{}_{\mathrm{2}}^{-}-N氧化去除,因此DPR+PDA系统实现了高效同步脱氮除磷效果。高通量测序表明,Accumulibacter（7.41%）是DPR系统功能性除磷菌,Thauera（7.24%）和Candidatus Brocadia（3.12%）为PDA系统关键脱氮菌。     

序批式活性污泥法单级自养脱氮特性试验研究

为使序批式活性污泥法系统中单级自养脱氮获得稳定运行效果,对脱氮性能、单周期氮素转化特性进行了研究,并通过氮元素守恒和计量关系探讨其脱氮途径。结果表明,进水氨氮负荷为0.494 kg.m-.3d-(1n=50)时,TN平均去除率、最高去除负荷和去除速率分别达81.8%、0.493 kg.m-.3d-1和0.201 kg.kg-.1d-1。单周期过程中氨氮和TN几乎呈线性去除;ρ(NO2--N)变化不大,维持在4 mg·L-1以下;ρ(NO3--N)则由12.9逐渐升高最终达到28.6 mg·L-1。ρ(DO)由0.4降低到0.2最后升至0.3 mg·L-1,pH先由8.02升高到8.15后缓慢降低至7.98。系统中产生的硝酸盐与消耗的氨氮质量比为0.08～0.12,小于基于亚硝化的自养脱氮工艺。通过计量关系分析系统中除短程硝化和厌氧氨氧化的协同脱氮作用外,还存在自养反硝化的辅助脱氮途径。     

Identification and quantification of anammox bacteria in eight nitrogen removal reactors

Various studies have revealed anaerobic ammonium oxidation (anammox) as a very attractive alternative process suitable for nitrogen removal from wastewater. Here we investigated anammox bacteria in eight different nitrogen removal reactors. The diversity and abundance of anammox bacteria were determined by the 16S rRNA gene analysis, fluorescence in situ hybridization with specific probes and real-time quantitative PCR (qPCR). In these reactors, at least eight unique near full length anammox 16S rRNA gene sequences were detected, which were distributed over two genera; Candidati Brocadia and Kuenenia. FISH results confirmed that only one anammox bacterium dominated the community in each of the eight reactors investigated in this study. qPCR analysis revealed that anammox bacteria were present in seven of the reactors in the order of 10⁹ cells/ml and 10⁷ cells/ml in reactor A1. The dominant and divergent Brocadia-like anammox phylotype in one reactor represented a novel species for which we propose the name Candidatus Brocadia sinica. Taken together, these results indicated that a single seeding source could be used to seed anammox reactors designed to treat different types of wastewater, which could lead to a faster start-up of bioreactors.     

Integration of anammox into the aerobic granular sludge process for main stream wastewater treatment at ambient temperatures

Anaerobic ammonium oxidation, nitrification and removal of COD was studied at ambient temperature (18 °C ± 3) in an anoxic/aerobic granular sludge reactor during 390 days. The reactor was operated in a sequencing fed batch mode and was fed with acetate and ammonium containing medium with a COD/N ratio of 0.5 [g COD/gN]. During influent addition, the medium was mixed with recycled effluent which contained nitrate in order to allow acetate oxidation and nitrate reduction by anammox bacteria. In the remainder of the operational cycle the reactor was aerated and controlled at a dissolved oxygen concentration of 1.5 mg O₂/l in order to establish simultaneous nitritation and Anammox. Fluorescent in-situ hybridization (FISH) revealed that the dominant Anammox bacterial population shifted toward Candidatus “Brocadia fulgida” which is known to be capable of organotrophic nitrate reduction. The reactor achieved stable volumetric removal rates of 900 [g N₂-N/m³/day] and 600 [g COD/m³/day]. During the total experimental period Anammox bacteria remained dominant and the sludge production was 5 fold lower than what was expected by heterotrophic growth suggesting that consumed acetate was not used by heterotrophs. These observations show that Anammox bacteria can effectively compete for COD at ambient temperatures and can remove effectively nitrate with a limited amount of acetate. This study indicates a potential successful route toward application of Anammox in granular sludge reactors on municipal wastewater with a limited amount of COD.
