Abstract:Given that low carbon source sewage has advantage of nitrification rather than denitrification, natural carbon source corncob was added into anoxic zone of a pilot A2O to explore the denitrification potency and characteristics, by means of mass balance, denitrification rate and microbial community analysis. The results showed that TN removal efficiency increased by 13%, and effluent TN decreased from 16.2 to 10.0mg/L. Meanwhile, there was no exceeding risk of ammonia nitrogen and chroma in effluent. Mass balance demonstrated that the consumption amount of oxidation and effluent residual of COD both decreased, while its utilization rates for denitrification and sludge proliferation increased, which stimulated nitrogen removal amount. Therein, nitrogen removal was mainly contributed by denitrification. An integrated denitrification system was established in this reactor: the denitrification rates of newly formed biofilm and suspended sludge were 24.89 and 32.42mg/(L×h) separately in the presence of influent carbon source, which achieved this system with rapid denitrification; while influent carbon source was depleted, the denitrification rates were 4.71 and 1.73mg/(L×h) respectively, and their denitrification rates per biomass amount were 1.58 and 59.1mg NO3--N/(g VSS×h) accordingly, which indicated that corncob was primarily used by biofilm for maintaining denitrification process. The most dominant denitrifier in this system was Azospira. Morover, denitrifiers like Iamia and Haliangium, capable of adhering to growth, enriched on the biofilm, and Sulfuritalea, which could degrade corncob’s lignin, assembled on the biofilm as well.
