Abstract
The Complete Ammonium and Nitrate Removal via Denitratation Anammox Over Nitrite (CANDAN) process was evaluated for rapid sludge granulation in a lab-scale sequencing batch reactor. Over 119 days under increasing nitrogen loading rates (NLRs), the system finally achieved average 89.2 % total nitrogen removal at 1.93 kg N/m3/d NLR, with sludge particle sizes increasing from 215.6 μm to 924.5 μm. Higher NLRs significantly increased extracellular polymeric substances, especially hydrophobic proteins, enhancing sludge hydrophobicity and aggregation. Metagenomic analysis identified Candidatus Brocadia and Thauera as predominant and key microbial genera for nitrogen removal. Furthermore, the upregulation of carbon metabolism under heightened NLRs facilitated the synthesis of hydrophobic amino acids, promoting sludge granulation. These findings demonstrate NLR-driven granulation mechanisms, highlight optimizing NLR as key for accelerating granulation, providing insights to improve start-up and operational efficiency of CANDAN systems.
在实验室规模的序批式反应器中,对亚硝酸盐厌氧氨氧化脱硝(CANDAN)工艺进行了快速污泥造粒的评价。在提高氮负荷率(NLRs)的条件下,经过119天的试验,系统最终以1.93 kg N/m3/d的NLR实现了平均89.2%的总氮去除率,污泥粒径从215.6 μm增加到924.5 μm。高nlr显著增加细胞外聚合物质,特别是疏水蛋白,增强污泥的疏水性和聚集性。宏基因组分析发现Brocadia和Thauera是脱氮的优势菌属和关键菌属。此外,高NLRs下碳代谢的上调促进了疏水氨基酸的合成,促进污泥造粒。这些发现证明了NLR驱动的造粒机制,突出了优化NLR是加速造粒的关键,为提高canan系统的启动和运行效率提供了见解。
