Mariculture wastewater treatment using electrochemically assisted submerged fixed bed bioreactor (E-SFBBR): Potential performance and pathways of nitrogen removal
Journal of Water Process Engineering(2021)
摘要
Nitrogen discharged from mariculture industry leads to adjacent aquatic pollution. This study utilized an electrochemically assisted submerged fixed bed bioreactor (E-SFBBR) to treat carbon-limited saline mariculture wastewater and aimed to evaluate the performance and pathways of nitrogen removal by testing the effects of electrical stimulation and different current densities (CD). Electro-stimulation increased nitrogen removal performance of E-SFBBR from 1.1 to 2.2 g N m−2 d−1 to 3.0–3.4 g N m−2 d−1; CD of 0.10 mA cm−2 resulted in the highest N removal rate. Results of water quality at different depths and the batch experiment revealed the N removal pathways in E-SFBBR: in the cathode area, nitrogen removal was mainly attributed to the processes of denitrification and dissimilatory nitrate reduction to ammonia; and in the anode area, nitrification and autotrophic denitrification driven by sulfur or iron contributed to nitrogen elimination. These findings provided a promising method for enhancing N removal from carbon-limited mariculture effluents.
