Stable performance is a technical problem in the completely autotrophic nitrogen removal over nitrite (CANON) process with one single stage, which needs to be addressed. In the current work, a laboratory-scale submerged aerated biological filter (SABF) with a 3-L working volume was introduced into the CANON process to enhance its stable performance for 290 days under the following conditions: temperature of 30 ± 1 °C and dissolved oxygen (DO) level of 0.2-0.

The traditional biochemical treatment of printing and dyeing wastewater has limited efficiency. This study investigated whether HO could strengthen the biological ability of the hydrolytic acidification/biological contact oxidation process (A/O), which effectively treats the printing and dyeing wastewater. After biofilm formation and the biochemical system startup and operation by HO, the system was successfully started and steadily operated when HOwas added into reactor A with the HO voluve fraction of 3 mL·L, doses of 100.

The CANON process has the disadvantages of long start-up periods and unstable operation. In the SBAF system, under strictly controlled conditions of dissolved oxygen (DO) and temperature, a CANON process is started up in 51 days and is operated stably for 278 days using a new method of independent research and development. The results show that the maximum and average ARR are 98.

Dissolved oxygen (DO) is a crucial parameter of the completely autotrophic nitrogen removal over nitrite (CANON) process. This study determined the nitrogen removal performance and microbial community of the CANON process in a laboratory-scale submerged aerated biological filter (SABF) over a DO concentration range from 0 to 1.2 mg·L.

The long start-up time of the completely autotrophic nitrogen removal over nitrite (CANON) process is one of the main disadvantages of this system. In this paper, the CANON process with a submerged aerated biological filter (SABF) was rapidly started up within 26 days. It gave an average ammonium nitrogen removal rate (ANR) and a total nitrogen removal rate (TNR) of 94.

Good start-up and performance are essential for the completely autotrophic nitrogen removal over nitrite (CANON) process, and inorganic carbon (IC) is also important for this process. In this study, a lab-scale submerged aerated biological filter (SABF) was adopted for the CANON process. A 16S rRNA gene high-throughput sequencing analysis showed that the phyla Proteobacteria and Planctomycetes were the dominant microorganisms and that the genus Candidatus Brocadia functioned as the nitrogen remover.

Long period start-up is one of the main restraining factors of the single-stage completely autotrophic nitrogen removal over nitrite (CANON) process.This study investigated the fast start-up of the CANON process initiated by a submerged biological aerated filter (SBAF) method.With conventional activated sludge from the secondary sedimentation tank of municipal waste water treatment plants as the seed sludge,the CANON process was successfully started up after the acclimation of sludge microorganisms for 48 days under the experimental conditions of (30±2)℃,organic carbon free and controlled dissolved oxygen (stage Ⅰ:0.
