FeS自养反硝化与厌氧氨氧化的耦合脱氮机制

微生物的功能多样性对元素价态的转换存在协同作用是自然界关键的生态调节策略,充分利用这种策略,实现不同微生物的功能组合,可以发展废水处理新工艺.本文以静态批次实验的含氮污染物作为研究对象,把Fe S投加量、NO_3~--N/NO_2~--N比值、厌氧氨氧化(ANAMMOX,AN)和自养反硝化(AD)生物量之比作为反应控制条件,讨论了AN与AD之间代谢产物互补的合作机制,提出了(AN+AD)_(TN→0)脱氮工艺的概念.研究发现过量的Fe S投加在保证AD过程的彻底性之外,并不显著影响AN菌的代谢活性;提高NO_2~--N在电子受体中的比例,会使微生物复合群落处于代谢底物竞争关系之中,对TN的去除产生负面影响; AN生物量的增加加深了复合群落的合作程度,当初始NH_4~+-N与NO_3~--N的化学计量比小于0. 85时,可以实现TN浓度趋零.结果表明,通过认识微生物之间的交互作用,寻求复杂微生物群落功能的规划或调控,可以设计出更加合理的废水处理工艺,达到低物耗投入条件下目标污染物的高效去除.

Performance and Mechanisms of Advanced Nitrogen Removal via FeS-driven Autotrophic Denitrification Coupled with ANAMMOX

Synergy among members of complex microbial communities in the transformation of elements is a key ecological regulation strategy in nature. Making full use of this phenomenon and achieving functional combinations of different microorganisms may have a significant effect on developing new wastewater treatment processes. In this study, nitrogen-containing pollutants were applied in a static batch experiment. The dosage of FeS, the ratio of NO₃^--N/NO₂^--N, and the ratio of ANAMMOX (AN) to autotrophic denitrification (AD) biomass were the controlled reaction conditions. The cooperation mechanism resulting from the metabolic complementation of AN and AD is discussed, and the concept of a (AN+AD)_{TN 0} nitrogen removal process is proposed. This study showed that the excessive dosage of FeS could ensure the more thorough reaction of AD without significantly affecting the metabolic activity of AN bacteria. A complex microbial community was involved in the competition for metabolic substrates when the proportion of NO₂^--N in the electron acceptor was increased, resulting in a negative impact on the removal of TN. The increase of AN biomass contributed to the strengthening of the cooperation between AN and AD. When the stoichiometric ratio of NH₄⁺-N to NO₃^--N was less than 0.85, TN could be completely removed. The results showed that a more effective wastewater treatment process may be established by understanding the interactions between microorganisms, and by manipulating or regulating complex microbial communities. This could achieve the efficient removal of pollutants under low material consumption conditions.
