Abstract:The concentration distribution, molecular transformation, and bioavailability characteristics of DON along the anaerobic/anoxic/oxic (A2/O) process were investigated by various methods. The results showed that the concentration of DON decreased from (5.3±0.3)mg/L in the influent to (2.0±0.1)mg/L and (1.8±0.2)mg/L along the anaerobic and anoxic tanks respectively. Interestingly, the concentration of DON in the oxic unit increased to (1.9±0.1)mg/L, and the removal rate was (-5.6±0.6)%. Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry (FT-ICR-MS) analysis of the molecular composition of DON showed that the proportion of active DON molecules (H/C≥1.5) in each unit was: anaerobic unit (38%)
