Abstract:In this paper, the effects of ammonia concentration in synthetic sewage on the phosphorus (P) enrichment performance, P uptake and release rate of biofilm were investigated in an anaerobic/aerobic polyphosphate accumulating organisms biofilm reactor. The results showed that an increase of ammonia from 15mg-N/L to 30mg-N/L stimulated the P uptake rate of denitrifying polyphosphate accumulating organisms while weaken the PAOs, which resulted in the phosphate uptake rates (PUR) of 11.25mg-P/(L·h),and phosphate release rate (PRR) of 12.02mg-P/(L·h) for the biofilm system. The P concentration in enriched stream reached 52mg-P/L. The uptake and release of P mainly depended on DPAOs when further increase of ammonia to 40mg-N/L, whereas the PAOs metabolism was almost suppressed. As a consequence, the P concentration in enrichment stream was only 40mg-P/L with 8.65mg-P/(L·h) of PUR and 8.81mg-P/(L·h) of PRR. Stoichiometric analysis showed the Prel/HAcupt(the P released per organics uptake) of the biofilm system witnessed a rising and decent trend, with an increase of ammonia from 15mg-N/L to 40mg-N/L. The average values of Prel/HAcuptunder different ammonia concentrations were 0.06, 0.11and 0.07P-mmol/C-mmol, respectively. The adverse effect of ammonia (40mg-N/L) can be eliminat by decrease the volume ratio of sewage stream and enrichment stream (from 3:1 to 1.5:1). Specifically, the PUR and PRR of biofilm reached 16.25mg-P/(L·h) and 15.60mg-P/(L·h) respectively, resulting in a enrichment stream of 70mg-P/L. Meanwhile, the Prel/HAcupt rised up to 0.29P-mmol/C-mmol. The resuls of present study showed that the P enrichment performance in PAOs-biofilm was not affected by ammonia (< 40mg-N/L), also, the nitrogen removal efficiency reached 95%. Therefore, PAOs-biofilm-based technology is of great potential in simultaneous P enrichment and nitrogen removal from sewage.
