Removing the nitrogen contamination from the low C/N water body has become an urgent need. Autotrophic denitrification with the sulfur compound as electron donor was investigated in the biofilter reactors. Through the lab-scale experiment,it was found that different sulfur compounds and different carriers caused very different treatment performances. Thiosulfate was selected to be the best electron donor and ceramsite was chosen as the suitable carrier due to the good denitrification efficiency, low cost and the good resistibility against the high hydraulic loads. Later the optimum running parameters of the process were determined. Then the pilot-scale experiment was carried out with the real micro-polluted water from the West Lake, China. The results indicated that the autotrophic denitrification with thiosulfate as electron donor was feasible and applicable for the micro-polluted lake water.展开更多

The purpose of this work was to isolate and identify new anaerobic denitrifying bacteria from reservoir sediments and utilize different electron donors for isolates to improve nitrate removal efficiency. Using traditional enrichment approach,one purified anaerobic bacterium( Y12) capable of NO-3-N removal from sediments was obtained. The species identity of Y12 was determined via 16 S rRNA gene sequence analysis to be Acinetobacter. In this work,the fastest denitrification rates were observed with ferrous iron as electron donor.And,slightly slower rates were observed with hydrogen and sodium sulfide as electron donors. However,when used hydrogen gas, ferrous iron and sodium sulfide as electron donors, C / N ratios had little effect on autotrophic denitrification rate at the initial C / N ratio from 1.5 to 9.0. Meanwhile,when made use of hydrogen gas,ferrous iron and sodium sulfide as electron donors,a maximum nitrate removal ratio of 100.00%,91.43%and 87.99% at the temperature of 30 ℃,respectively. Moreover,maximum denitrification activity was observed at p H 6.0-7.0.展开更多
