【目的】短程硝化-厌氧氨氧化是可实现的最短生物脱氮工艺,短程硝化是实现该工艺的重要环节和必要条件。【方法】采用序批式反应器(SBR)来实现短程硝化过程的启动和稳定运行,并对该过程中的相关功能菌群变化进行检测分析。【结果】通过控制低DO浓度(<1 mg/L)和逐步提高氨氮进水负荷,可抑制氨氧化细菌(NOB)菌群增殖并促进亚硝酸氧化菌(AOB)菌群规模显著扩大,实现短程硝化过程的启动和稳定运行。在氨氮进水负荷为0.055 kg/(m3.d)时,平均氨氮去除容积负荷和污泥负荷可达到0.043kg/(m3.d)和0.16 kg/(kg.d),平均亚硝酸盐积累率可达到83.4%。在短程硝化启动和稳定运行过程中,NOB菌群密度从2.0×105CFU/mL降至1.5×104CFU/mL,相对丰度从5.51%降至2.14%;AOB菌群密度从4.5×104CFU/mL增加至1.5×107CFU/mL,相对丰度从0.18%增加至7.25%。【结论】AOB菌群规模的扩大是实现短程硝化和氨氮去除能力提高的主要原因,同时较高的进水氨氮浓度和负荷也会造成亚硝化活性的抑制。     

哀牢山中山湿性常绿阔叶林土壤氮转化的海拔效应

采用树脂芯法将哀牢山中山湿性常绿阔叶林内土壤分别移植到中海拔的次生林和低海拔的人工林下培养,并以原地培养为对照,对土壤氮素转化的海拔效应进行了研究.土壤氮素的净矿化速率、净硝化速率和淋溶速率受季节和海拔的影响极为显著(P＜0.01).海拔的影响在雨季前期最显著,高海拔土壤的净矿化和净硝化速率分别为-5.81和-4.18mg N·kg-1·60d-1,移植到中、低海拔培养后,净矿化速率分别为20.92和44.15 mgN·kg-1· 60 d-1,净硝化速率分别为17.07和20.38 mgN· kg-1 ·60d-1,淋溶量也分别增加了0.37倍和2.77倍.由于雨季中后期反硝化作用增加导致净矿化和净硝化速率降低,导致高、中海拔培养的土壤净氮矿化速率在雨季中期达到最高值,雨季后期降低.由此可推断,未来的气候变暖很可能会加快哀牢山中山湿性常绿阔叶林土壤氮素的转化速率和气态损失量.     

中试厌氧氨氧化反应器的启动与调控

研究了中试厌氧氨氧化(Anaerobic ammonium oxidation,Anammox)反应器的启动性能。结果表明,以硝化反硝化污泥、短程硝化污泥、厌氧絮体污泥和厌氧颗粒污泥混合接种,经过255d的运行,可在常温下(5oC～27oC)成功启动中试Anammox反应器,反应器的基质氮去除速率可达1.30kg/(m3·d)。厌氧氨氧化是致碱反应,厌氧氨氧化成为反应器内的主导反应后,进水pH宜控制在厌氧氨氧化适宜范围的偏低水平(6.8左右)。亚硝酸盐既是Anammox菌的基质,也是抑制剂,控制进水亚硝酸盐浓度(13～36mg/L)有助于厌氧氨氧化反应。菌种是生物反应器的功能之源,向中试装置投加少量厌氧氨氧化污泥(投加比2%),可大大加速中试Anammox反应器的启动进程。

氧对膜生物反应器短程硝化的影响

为了研究膜生物反应器的短程硝化性能以及氧对短程硝化的影响,通过对比耗氧率和供氧率,提出了膜生物反应器短程硝化的控制优化建议。在膜生物反应器硝化过程中,DO小于1 mg/L开始出现亚硝氮积累;DO降到0.5 mg/L,出水氨氮浓度与亚硝氮浓度之比接近1∶1;DO调控在0.5-1 mg/L范围内,有利于前置硝化反应器与后续厌氧氨氧化反应器衔接。膜生物反应器中污泥浓度可达20 g/L,耗氧能力可达19.86 mg O2/(L·s),但最大供氧能力仅为0.369 mg O2/(L·s),供氧成为反应器运行的制约瓶颈,"低DO高流量"曝气是继续提高短程硝化效能的控制策略。

Formation and long-term stability of nitrifying granules in a sequencing batch reactor

The formation and long-term stability of nitrifying granules in a sequencing batch reactor was investigated in this study. The results showed that nitrifying granules with a size of 240 microm and SVI of 40 ml g(-1) were formed on day 21 at a settling time of 10 min. Maintaining settling time at 15 min from day 57 to 183 did not affect the physical characteristics of sludge and the fraction of suspended floc in the sludge. In addition, nitrifying granules could tolerate the fluctuations of nitrogen loading rate from 0.72 to 1.8 g l(-1)d(-1) during 2 months without the change of physical characteristics. However, it was observed that complete nitrification to nitrate and partial nitrification to nitrite by sludge converted each other corresponding to the change of the influent NH4+-N concentration. Thus, an appropriate method is needed to maintain a stable complete nitrification or partial nitrification under the conditions with changing influent NH4+-N concentrations and nitrogen loading rates.     

气提式内循环硝化反应器运行性能的研究

Nitrification of swine waste

Complete oxidation of ammonia nitrogen (approximately 1000 mg/L) to nitrite was observed in stabilized swine waste after 49 days in incubation at 400 rpm and 29 degrees C, only if 10% (v/v) activated sludge from a wastewater treatment unit and 1.5% (w/v) CaCO3, were added. Stabilized swine waste contains less than 0.09 most probable number (MPN) per millilitre of nitrosobacteria and 2.3 MPN/mL of nitrobacteria. In activated sludge, the concentrations of these bacteria were 2.4 MPN/mL for nitrosobacteria and 4.2 x 10(5) MPN/mL for nitrobacteria. In the swine waste where ammonia was oxidized to nitrite, the nitrosobacteria growth increased to 5.5 x 10(5) MPN/mL, while the nitrobacteria growth decreased to 2.3 MPN/mL. Inoculation of a freshly stabilized swine waste with 10% (v/v) of the active nitrifying waste and addition of 1.5% (w/v) CaCO3, accelerated the oxidation of ammonia nitrogen to nitrite; the reaction was completed after only 5 days of incubation. Increasing the incubation period to 10 days resulted in the complete oxidation of the accumulated nitrite to nitrate. In the stabilized swine waste, complete nitrification without accumulation of nitrite was obtained in only 5 days of incubation when the waste was inoculated with both enriched nitrifying populations (10(6)-10(7) MPN/mL).     

Activity and population structure of nitrifying bacteria in an activated-sludge reactor containing polymer beads

Photo-crosslinked polymer beads were introduced into a laboratory activated-sludge unit containing municipal sewage sludge and the effect on nitrifying capacity was examined. The ammonia load started at a nitrogen-loading rate of 0.02 kg m(-3) day(-1) and was increased stepwise. It was found that the bead-containing unit could almost completely oxidize ammonia (over 95%) up to a nitrogen-loading rate of 0.216 kg m(-3) day(-1), whereas the maximum loading rate of the control unit (without polymer beads) was 0.096 kg m(-3) day(-1). The nitrifying potential of suspended and bead-associated organisms in the bead-containing unit was measured under different loading conditions. It was found that the bead-associated organisms exhibited high specific activities under high loading conditions and that the contribution of the bead-associated organisms to nitrification was greater than that of the suspended solids under these conditions. The bacterial population dynamics in the suspended solids and bead-associated organisms were analysed by denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE) of PCR-amplified 16S rRNA gene fragments and by fluorescence in situ hybridization with group-specific probes. Among the known nitrifying organisms, ammonia-oxidizing beta-proteobacteria and Nitrospira-related organisms were detected by these approaches. A comparison of the activity dynamics and population dynamics, however, suggested a possibility that other organisms may also have been involved in the nitrification process under high loading conditions.

Bioaugmentation as a tool for improving the start-up and stability of a pilot-scale partial nitrification biofilm airlift reactor

The effectiveness of bioaugmentation in the improvement of the start-up of a biofilm airlift reactor to perform partial nitrification was investigated. Two identical biofilm airlift reactors were inoculated. The non-bioaugmented reactor (NB-reactor) was inoculated with conventional activated sludge, whereas the bioaugmented reactor (B-reactor) was seeded with the same conventional activated sludge but bioaugmented with nitrifying activated sludge from a pilot plant performing full nitritation under stable conditions (100% oxidation of influent ammonium to nitrite). The fraction of specialized nitrifying activated sludge in the inoculum of the B-reactor was only 6% (measured as dry matter). To simplify comparison of the results, operational parameters were equivalent for both reactors. Partial nitrification was achieved significantly faster in the B-reactor, showing a very stable operation. The results obtained by fluorescence in situ hybridization assays showed that the specialized nitrifying biomass added to the B-reactor remained in the biofilm throughout the start-up period.     

Formation of nitrifying biofilms on small suspended particles in airlift reactors

For a stable and reliable operation of a BAS-reactor a high, active biomass concentration is required with mainly biofilm-covered carriers. The effect of reactor conditions on the formation of nitrifying biofilms in BAS-reactors was investigated in this article. A start-up strategy to obtain predominantly biofilm-covered carriers, based on the balancing of detachment and a biomass production per carrier surface area, proved tp be very successful. The amount of biomass and the fraction of covered carrier were high and development of nitrification activity was fast, leading to a volumetric conversion of 5 kg(N) . m(-3) . d(-1) at a hydraulic retention time of 1h. A 1-week, continuous inoculation with suspended purely nitrifying microorganisms resulted in a swift start-up compared with batch addition of a small number of biofilms with some nitrification activity. The development of nitrifying biofilms was very similar to the formation of heterotrophic biofilms. In contrast to heterotrophic bio-films, the diameter of nitrifying biofilms increased during start-up. The detachment rate from nitrifying biofilms decreased with lower concentrations of bare carrier, in a fashion comparable with heterotrophic biofilms, but the nitrifying biofilms were much more robust and resistant. Standard diffusion theory combined with reaction kinetics are capable of predicting the activity and conversion of biofilms on small suspended particles. (c) 1995 John Wiley & Sons Inc.     

Some chemical and physical factors affecting the rate and dunamics of nitrification in urine-affected soil

The effects of urinary chloride and nitrogen concentration and osmotic pressure on the nitrification of ammonium in a calcareous soil treated with cow urine were examined. Urinary chloride concentrations of up to 7.4 g L^–1 had no effect on the rate of nitrification, as determined by the accumulation of soil nitrate. Osmotic stress, generated using a mixed salt solution, had an inhibitory effect on nitrification at soil osmotic pressures lower than or equal to –1.0 PMa. Nitrification was completely inhibited at a soil osmotic pressure of –2.6 MPa. Accumulation of nitrate after a lag phase of 18 days was noted in the –2.0 MPa soil osmotic pressure treatment, indicating some degree of adaptation or osmo-regulation within the nitrifying population at this stress level. High urine-N concentrations resulted in considerable nitrite accumulations and reduced nitrification activity through the effect of free ammonia. It is concluded that in most temperate grassland soils at near-neutral pH, urinary chloride and nitrogen are unlikely to reduce nitrification rates, except where urine-N concentrations exceed 16 g N L^–1. Inhibition due to osmotic stress will be directly related to soil moisture status and may be particularly severe in dry, light-textured soils.
