Batch test experiments were used to investigate the inhibitory effect during the anoxic condition. The inoculated activated sludge was taken from a continuous double-sludge denitrifying phosphorus and nitrogen removal system. Nitrite was added at the anoxic stage. One time injection and sequencing batch injection were carried on in the denitrifying dephosphorus procedure. The results indicated that the nitrite concentration higher than 30 mg/L would inhibit the anoxic phosphate uptake severely,and the threshold inhibitory concentration was dependent on the characteristics of the activated sludge and the operating conditions; instead,lower than the inhibitory concentration would not be detrimental to anoxic phosphorus uptake,and it could act as good electron acceptor for the anoxic phosphate accumulated. Positive effects performed during the denitrifying biological dephosphorus all the time. The utility of nitrite as good electron acceptor would provide a new feasible way in the denitrifying phosphorus process.展开更多

The system showed stable phosphorus and nitrogen removal performance, and average removals for COD, TN and TP were 90%, 91% and 96%, respectively. The conditions of pH 7.5—8.0 and temperature 32℃ were found detrimental to nitrite oxidation bacteria but favorable to ammonia oxidizers, and the corresponding specific oxygen uptake rates(SOUR) for phase 1 and 2 of nitrification process were 0.7 and 15 mgO 2/(gVSS·h) in respect, which led to the nitrite accumulation in aerobic phase of(AO)2 SBR. Respiratory tests showed that 40 mgNO 2-N/L did not deteriorate the sludge activity drastically, and it implied that exposure of sludge to nitrite periodically enabled the biomass to have more tolerance capacity to resist the restraining effects from nitrite. In addition, batch tests were carried out and verified that denitrifying phosphorus accumulation organisms(DPAOs) could be enriched in a single sludge system coexisting with nitrifiers by introducing an anoxic phase in an anaerobic-aerobic SBR, and the ratio of the anoxic phosphate uptake capacity to aerobic phosphate uptake capacity was 45%. It was also found that nitrite(up to 20 mgNO 2-N/L) was not inhibitory to anoxic phosphate uptake and could serve as an electron acceptor like nitrate, but presented poorer efficiency compared with nitrate.展开更多
