Abstract

Integrating anaerobic treatment with partial nitritation (PN)/anammox is a promising technology to achieve energy-efficient wastewater treatment, while partial nitritation of the mainstream anaerobic effluent (Aneff) was rarely reported. A PN reactor fed with low-strength Aneff was employed in this study to investigate the performance and technology bottleneck of this process. When operated at low dissolved oxygen (DO) concentration (0.30-0.43 mg/L), gene coding hydroxylamine oxidation (hao) was severely suppressed by bio-refractory organics, which results in a decreased ammonia-oxidizing bacteria activity and nitrite accumulation rate. The ammonium conversion and nitrite accumulation were recovered by increasing the DO concentration to a moderate-high level (1.10 ± 0.20 mg/L) and achieved long-term stable operation. At this condition, hao showed a dramatic increase while gene encoding nitrite oxidoreductase was appropriately suppressed; the effluent NO 2 - /NH 4 + ratio reached 1.17, and a low NO 3 - /NO x - ratio of 0.38 was achieved simultaneously. The findings in this study revealed the adverse effects of Aneff on PN and supported a practical operating strategy for efficient PN of Aneff.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
