As an intermediate form of microbial denitrification, nitrite serves as a key substrate for anaerobic ammonium oxidation (ANAMMOX). This study investigated the partial dentification (PD) characteristics and the coupling feasibility of PD+ANAMMOX in the biofilm system, using a moving bed biofilm reactor which was operated for 120 days. After 40 days of operation with a C/N ratio of 3.0 and filling fraction of 20%, the nitrate-to-nitrite transformation ratio (NTR) reached (69.38±3.53)%, and enzymatic assays indicated that the activities of nitrate reductase (NAR) had increased from 0.03 to 0.45 μmol·(min·mg) while the activities of nitrite reductase (NIR) had decreased from 0.18 to 0.02 μmol·(min·mg). Illumina high-throughput sequencing analysis revealed that the proportion of genus of bacteria to total microorganism increased from 0.3% (d1) to 37.27% (d64). Finally, the effluent had a total nitrogen (TN) concentration of (6.41±1.50) mg·L, indicating a total nitrogen removal ratio of (88.16±2.71)% and confirming the feasibility of PD+ANAMMOX in the biofilm system.

Challenges in obtaining stable nitrite have impeded the use of anammox in municipal wastewater treatment. This study explored the feasibility of using sludge fermentation products as carbon source and selective nitrification inhibitor to supply nitrite via partial nitrification (PN) and partial denitrification (PD). PD was initiated within 15 days, achieving nitrite transformation rate of over 90 % with a carbon/nitrogen ratio of 3 and a reaction time of 0.

Achieving partial denitrification (PD) by using fermentation products extracted from waste activated sludge (WAS) rather than commercial organic matters is a promising approach for providing nitrite for anammox, while sludge reduction could also be realized by WAS reutilization. This study proposed an In-situ Sludge Fermentation coupled with Partial Denitrification (ISFPD) system and explored its performance under different conditions, including initial pH, nitrate concentrations, and organic matters. Results showed that nitrite production increased with the elevation of initial pH (from 6 to 9), and the highest nitrate-to-nitrite transformation ratio (NTR) reached 77% at initial pH 9.

To explore the feasibility of biofilter reactor to treat municipal secondary effluent deeply without extra carbon source, this paper proposed an integrated biofilter reactor (IBFR) coupling partial denitrification (PD) with anammox (A) to treat the secondary effluent and raw sewage with the flow ratio of 3:1 together. The results show that the effluent concentration of TN and COD in IBFR could be reduced to 10 mg/L and 15 mg/L, respectively, under hydraulic retention time of 1.5 h and nitrogen loading rate of 0.

Partial denitrification (PD) is an alternative to providing NO for the anaerobic ammonium oxidation (anammox) process. In this study, three upflow anaerobic sludge blankets (UASB) were used to investigate the effect of an external electric field on PD performance. The results indicated that the maximum nitrite transformation ratio (NTR) reached 76.

As a stable and effective approach for NO-N accumulation, partial denitrification (PD) could significantly cut down operation cost, and PD/Anammox (PD/A) is a promising nitrogen removal process in wastewater treatment. The biotoxicity of free ammonia (FA) to nitrifying bacteria and anammox bacteria has been demonstrated, while whether FA affects PD bacteria is an open question. Here, long-term operation of PD-fixed bed biofilm reactor (PD-FBBR) treating synthetic wastewater and mature landfill leachate was conducted to reveal the mechanism concerning the effect of FA on PD bacteria.
