Abstract

High-solid anaerobic digestion (HSAD) reject water, distinguished by elevated levels of chemical oxygen demand (COD), NH₄⁺-N and an imbalanced COD/TIN, presents a significant challenge for treatment through conventional partial nitritation/ anammox (PN/A) process. This study introduced a revised two-stage PN/A process, namely partial nitritation/denitritation-anammox (PN-DN/A) process. Its effectiveness was investigated through both pilot-scale (12 t/d) and full-scale (400 t/d) operations, showcasing stable operation with an impressive total removal rate of over 90 % for total inorganic nitrogen (TIN) and exceeding 60 % for COD. Notably, 30 % of TIN was eliminated through heterotrophic denitritation in partial nitritation-denitritation (PN-DN) stage, while approximately 55 % of TIN removal occurred in the anammox stage with anaerobic ammonium oxidizing bacteria (AnAOB) enrichment (Candidatus Kuenenia, 25.9 % and 26.6 % relative abundance for pilot and full scale). In the PN-DN stage, aerobic-anaerobic alternation promoted organics elimination (around 50 % COD) and balanced nitrogen species. Microbial and metagenomic analysis verified the coupling between autotrophic and heterotrophic denitritation and demonstrated that PN-DN stage acted as a protective buffer for anammox stage. This comprehensive study highlights the PN-DN/A process's efficacy in stably treating HSAD reject water.

处理高固体厌氧消化（HSAD）废水的两阶段部分亚硝酸盐化-反硝酸盐化/氨氧化（PN-DN/A）工艺：基于中试规模和全面规模项目的验证

高固体厌氧消化（HSAD）废水的特点是化学需氧量（COD）、NH4+-N 含量较高，且 COD/TIN 不平衡，这给传统的部分亚硝酸盐/氨氧化（PN/A）工艺处理带来了巨大挑战。本研究引入了一种改进的两阶段 PN/A 工艺，即部分亚硝酸盐/反硝酸盐-氨氧化（PN-DN/A）工艺。通过中试规模（12 吨/天）和正式规模（400 吨/天）的运行对其有效性进行了研究，结果表明，该工艺运行稳定，总无机氮（TIN）的总去除率超过 90%，化学需氧量（COD）的总去除率超过 60%，令人印象深刻。值得注意的是，在部分亚硝酸盐化-亚硝酸盐化（PN-DN）阶段，30%的 TIN 通过异养脱硝化作用被去除，而在厌氧氨氧化细菌（AnAOB）富集（Candidatus Kuenenia，中试和大规模的相对丰度分别为 25.9% 和 26.6%）的厌氧阶段，TIN 的去除率约为 55%。在 PN-DN 阶段，好氧-厌氧交替促进了有机物的消除（约 50% COD）和氮物种的平衡。微生物和元基因组分析验证了自养和异养脱硝之间的耦合作用，并证明 PN-DN 阶段对 anammox 阶段起到了保护缓冲作用。这项综合研究凸显了 PN-DN/A 工艺在稳定处理 HSAD 废水方面的功效。
