摘要:
The novel partial denitrification coupling with the anammox (PD/A) process is emerging as a promising alternative for cost-efficient nitrogen removal from wastewater. However, it encounters challenges of competition with heterotrophic denitrification for NO2--N and inhibition of complex organic carbon involved in wastewater. This work demonstrated the efficient and stable nitrogen removal from nitrate-containing wastewater (NO3--N of 20-400 mg/L) with organic carbon from domestic wastewater (NH4+-N of 60.8 +/- 5.6 mg/L, COD of 195.6 +/- 58.4 mg/L) by a single-stage PD/A process. The efficient NO2--N generation was achieved by utilizing organic carbon in domestic wastewater. With the feed volume ratio of nitrate-containing wastewater to domestic wastewater (V-NO3/V-dom) decreasing from 2.4/0.6 to 0.5/2.5, the removal efficiency of NH4+-N and NO3--N achieved 84.2% and 98.3%, respectively. Anammox bacteria were found to strongly compete over denitrifying bacteria with the contribution of the anammox pathway to total nitrogen removal as high as 91.6%. Enhanced competitiveness of anammox bacteria for substrate NO2--N was achieved with increasing utilization of the carbon source from domestic wastewater. Metagenomic analysis revealed that the electrons produced by NADH were more preferentially transported to the NO3--N reductase rather than the NO2--N reductase. Therefore, denitrifying bacteria Thauera as a main holder of Nar genes and anammox bacteria Candidatus Brocadia jointly removed NO3--N and NH4+-N. Sludge granulation with increasing domestic wastewater also facilitated the efficient retention of anammox bacteria. Overall, this study highlighted the efficient heterotrophic-autotrophic cooperation by in situ utilization of the complex carbon source from domestic wastewater, providing valuable technical support to advance the PD/A process toward practical application.
