Abstract
The feasibility of inducing simultaneous nitrification and denitrification (SND) by S0 for low carbon to nitrogen (C/N) ratio wastewater remediation was investigated. Compared with S0 and/or organics absent systems (−3.4 %∼5.0 %), the higher nitrogen removal performance (18.2 %∼59.8 %) was achieved with C/N ratios and S0 dosages increasing when S0 and organics added simultaneously. The synergistic effect of S0 and organics stimulated extracellular polymeric substances secretion and weakened intermolecular binding force of S0, facilitating S0 bio-utilization and reducing the external organics requirement. It also promoted microbial metabolism (0.16 ∼ 0.24 μg O2/(g VSS·h)) and ammonia assimilation (5.9 %∼20.5 %), thereby enhancing the capture of organics and providing more electron donors for SND. Furthermore, aerobic denitrifiers (15.91 %∼27.45 %) and aerobic denitrifying (napA and nirS) and ammonia assimilating genes were accumulated by this synergistic effect. This study revealed the mechanism of SND induced by coordination of S0 and organics and provided an innovative strategy for triggering efficient and stable SND.
