Abstract:The UASB reactor was used to investigate the excess removal characteristics of NH4+-N by the anaerobic ammonia oxidation system, the catalytic activity of related enzymes, and the bacterial community structure of the sludge with changing ratio of NO2--N/NH4+-N. The results showed that as the concentration of influent NO2--N decreaseed, the removal of NH4+-N by the reactor increaseed compared to the theory. When the supply of nitrite was stopped, the removal of NH4+-N in the reactor reached up to 55mg/L. The removal of NH4+-N was not due to the anaerobic ammonia oxidization by the SO42- and Fe3+/EDTA complex from the feed water, but the aerobic nitration of NH4+-N. The analysis of catalase determination combined with molecular biology technology showed that the oxygen required for aerobic nitrification came from influent water and catalase oxygen production. The activity of ammonia oxidizing bacteria (AOB) and anaerobic ammonia oxidizing bacteria (AnAOB) in the bottom sludge bed was better than that in the upper sludge bed. On the contrary, the activity of heterotrophic denitrifying bacteria (HDB) in the upper sludge bed was better than that in the bottom sludge bed, and the two parts of sludge bed synergistically converted NH4+-N into N2.
