Effect of influent COD/NO ratios (2.0-5.0) on partial denitrification (PD, NO to NO) was investigated by seeding denitrifying phosphorus removal (DPR) sludge at ambient temperature (16 ± 2℃). At COD/NO ratio of 2.5, the optimal NO effluent and nitrate-to-nitrite transformation ratio (NTR) reached up to 27.18 mg/L and 82.18%, respectively, and nitrate removal efficiency (NRE) (59.34 → 97.98%) showed positive relationship with increasing COD/NO ratios. The variations were further illustrated by denitrification kinetics, where faster COD degradation (1.55 g COD/(gVSS·d)), more NO consumption (0.55 gN/(gVSS·d)) and higher NO production (0.52 gN/(gVSS·d)) were observed although the NO peaks happened at anoxic 30 min. Microbial analysis showed lower community diversity and more concentrated composition with dominated genera Thauera (14.10%), Terrimonas (9.40%), Saprospiraceae (13.50%) and Flavobacterium (28.23%) at COD/NO ratio of 2.5. Based on the achievement of PD, the application feasibility of integrated PD-DPR-Anammox in a two-sludge DPR system for deep-level nutrient removal was discussed.

This study investigates the performance and microbial community dynamics in two partial denitrification/anammox (PD/A) reactors with different influent wastewater compositions (differ in the presence/absence of NO) subjected to a controlled temperature gradient reduction from mesophilic (30 °C) to room temperature (20.92 °C) over 76 days. Two lab-scale PD/A reactors (R1 and R2), both operated with a total inorganic nitrogen (TIN) concentrations of 70 mg N/L.

Article Synopsis
- * The study examined how different nutrients and microbial distributions impact the metabolic processes within DNMFCs, revealing that a high COD/NO-N ratio decreased efficiency significantly.
- * Results showed that DNMFCs effectively removed 92.3% of nitrate, and that specific electroactive and anaerobic bacteria played crucial roles in enhancing the cell's performance.

In this work, a novel polyurethane carrier modified with biochar and tourmaline/zeolite powder at ratio of 1:1 and 1:2 was developed to promote the formation of biofilms and the synergy of overall bacterial activity for Partial Denitrification/Anammox to treat low-nitrogen contaminated surface water. Based on the batch experiment, the modified biocarrier, BTP2 (biochar: tourmaline = 2: 1), exhibited the highest total nitrogen removal efficiency (83.63%) under influent total nitrogen of 15 mg/L and COD/NO of 3.

The Partial Denitrification-Anammox (PD/A) process established a low-consumption, efficient and sustainable pathway for complete nitrogen removal, which is of great interest to the industry. Rapid initiation and stable operation of the PD/A systems were the main issues limiting its engineering application in wastewater nitrogen removal. A PD/A system was initiated in a continuous stirred-tank reactors (CSTRs) in the presence of low concentration of organic matter, and the effects of organic matter types and COD/NO-N ratios on the performance of the PD/A system, and microbial community characteristics were explored.

The emerging nitrogen removal process known as CANDAN (Complete Ammonium and Nitrate removal via Denitratation-Anammox over Nitrite) has been developed in Sequencing Batch Reactors (SBRs). Yet, starting up and maintaining stability in continuous-flow reactors remain challenging. This study explores the feasibility of transitioning the CANDAN process from an anammox-dominated process by introducing appropriate external organics to facilitate indigenous nitrite-producing denitrification community in an Upflow Anaerobic Sludge Blanket (UASB) reactor.
