The study was based on the inoculation of anaerobic granule sludge in anaerobic compartments and the installation of combination filler in aerobic compartments. The performance of reactor system was studied regarding the hydraulic retention time (HRT), microbial characteristics and the gas water ratio (GWR). When the HRT was 24h and the GWR was 20:1, total ammonia and chemical oxygen demand (COD) of the effluent were reduced by 99% and 91.8%, respectively. The reactor performed stably for treating decentralized molasses wastewater. The good performance of the reactor can be attributed to the high resistance of COD and hydraulic shock loads. In addition, the high solid retention time of contact oxidation biofilm contributed to stable performance of the reactor.展开更多

The average yield of gasous N2O showed more than 4-fold increase when the DO levels were reduced from 6.0 to 2.0 mg·L^-1, indicating that low DO may drive N2O generation. PCRDGGE results revealed that Nitratifractor salsuginis were dominant and may be responsible for N2O emission from the BAFs system. While at a low DO concentration (2.0 mg·L^-1), Flavobacterium urocaniciphilum might playa role. When DO concentration was the limiting factor (reduced from 6.0 to 2.0 mg·L^-1) for nitrification, it reduced NO2^--N oxidation as well as the total nitrification. The data from this study contribute to explain how N2O production changes in response to DO concentration, and may be helpful for reduction ofN2O through regulation of DO levels.展开更多
