Abstract:
The long-term stability of nitrogen removal from municipal landfill with high ammonia nitrogen (NH4+-N) content was investigated by using a biological system consisting of a first-stage up-flow anaerobic sludge bed (UASB) and sequencing batch reactor (SBR) under normal and low temperature conditions. The 623 days experimental results clearly showed: the efficient denitrification and methanogenesis were conducted in a same UASB reactor, and almost 100% of denitrification was obtained, when feed COD concentration ranged from 1000 mg·L-1 to 13800 mg·L-1, effluent COD concentration was between 150 mg·L-1 and 1234 mg·L-1, and when the influent ammonia nitrogen (NH4+-N) changed from 574 mg·L-1 to 2360 mg·L-1, the effluent NH4+-N was below 10 mg·L-1, the removal efficiency reached 90% and 98%, respectively. Especially, above 99.2% removal efficiency of TN was obtained, and effluent TN concentration was below 30 mg·L-1, advanced and efficient nitrogen and organic removal were achieved in the biological system. Furthermore, stable nitrification and denitrification were achieved during the entire experiment period, especially, were maintained successfully for 171 days at the temperature below 15°C and the lowest temperature of 10.2°C during two winters.
