The removal performance of COD, TN, NH4＋-N, TP as well as antibiotics were simultaneously studied when the hydraulic retention time （HRT） was gradually shortened from 9 d to 1 d and when the ratio ofinfluent COD to TN was changed. The results showed that the effluent quality in both reactors was poor and unstable at an influent COD/ TN ratio of 1.0±0.2. The effluent quality was signifcantly improved as the influent COD/TN ratio was increased to 2.3±0.5. The averaged removal rates of COD, NH4＋-N, TN and TP were 92.1%, 97.1%, 35.6% and 54.2%, respectively, in the BF-MBR, significantly higher than the corresponding values of 91.7%, 90.9%, 17.4% and 31.9% in the MBR. Analysis of 11 typical veterinary antibiotics （from the tetracycline, sulfonamide, quinolone, and macrolide families） revealed that the BF-MBR removed more antibiotics than the MBR. Although the antibiotics removal decreased with a shortened HRT, high antibiotics removals of 86.8%, 80.2% and 45.3% were observed in the BF-MBR at HRT of 5~4 d, 3-2 d and 1 d, respectively, while the corresponding values were only 83.8%, 57.0% and 25.5% in the MBR. Moreover, the BF-MBR showed a 15% higher retention rate of antibiotics and consumed 40% less alkalinity than the MBR. Results above suggest that the BF-MBR was more suitable for digested piggery wastewater treatment.展开更多

Their microbial communities were analyzed, and the nitrogen removal performance was compared during the long term run. IASBRs demonstrated higher removal rates of total nitrogen （TN） and ammonium nitrogen （NH4＋ -N） than the SBR, and also demonstrated higher resistance against TN shock load. It was found that the more switch times between aerobic/anoxic in an IASBR, the higher the removal rates of TN and NH4＋ N. All the reactors were predominated by Thauera, Nitrosomonas and Nitrobacter, which were considered to be species of denitrifiers, ammonium oxidizing bacteria （AOB） and nitrite oxidizing bacteria （NOB）, respectively. However, the abundance and diversity was of great difference. Compared with SBR, IASBRs achieved higher abundance of denitrification related bacteria. IASBR 1# with four aerobic/anoxic switch times was detected with 25.63% of Thauera, higher than that in IASBR 2# with two aerobic/anoxic switch times （l 1.57% of Thauera）, and much higher than that in the SBR （only 6.19% of Thauera）. IASBR 2# had the highest percentage of AOB, while 1ASBR 1# had the lowest percentage. The denitrifiers abundance was significantly positive correlated with the TN removal rate. However, the NH4＋ N removal rate showed no significant correlation with the AOB abundance, but might relate to the AOB activity which was influenced by the average free ammonium （FA） concentration. Nitrobacter was the only NOB genus detectable in all reactors, and were less than 0.03%.展开更多

Their pollutant removal perfonnance was compared under COD/TN ratios of 1.6-3.4 d and hydraulic retention times of 5 3 d. The results showed that the IASBR removed TN, NH4＋-N and TOC more efficiently than the SBR. The average removal rates of TN, NH4＋-N and TOC were 83.1%, 96.5%, and 89.0%, respectively, in the IASBR, significantly higher than the corresponding values of 74.8%, 82.0%, and 86.2%. in the SBR. Mass balance of organic carbon revealed that the higher TN removal in the IASBR might be attributed to its efficient utilization of the organic carbon for denitrification, since that 48.7%- 52.2% of COD was used for denitrification in the IASBR, higher than the corresponding proportion of 43.1%-47.4% in the SBR. A prc-anoxic process in the IASBR would enhance the ammonium oxidation while restrict the nitrite oxidation. Anoxic duration of 40-80 min should be beneficial for achieving stable nitritation.展开更多
