Full-scale partial nitritation/anammox experiences--an application survey

The inhibition of the Anammox process: A review

Biological nitrogen removal from sewage via anammox: Recent advances.

The effect of nitrite inhibition on the anammox process.

Current state of sewage treatment in China.

An anaerobic ammonium oxidation (anammox) process for ammonia-rich wastewater treatment has not been reported at temperatures below 15 °C. This study used a gel carrier with entrapped anammox bacteria to obtain a stable nitrogen removal performance at low temperatures. In a continuous feeding test, a high nitrogen conversion rate (6.2 kg N m−3 day−1) was confirmed at 32 °C. Nitrogen removal activity decreased gradually with decreasing operation temperature; however, it still occurred at 6 °C. Nitrogen conversion rates at 22 and 6.3 °C were 2.8 and 0.36 kg N m−3 day−1, respectively. Moreover, the stability of anammox activity below 20 °C was confirmed for more than 130 days. In batch experiments, anammox gel carriers were characterized with respect to temperature. The optimum temperature for anammox bacteria was found to be 37 °C. Furthermore, it was clear that the temperature dependence changed at about 28 °C. The apparent activation energy in the temperature range from 22 to 28 °C was calculated as 93 kJ mol−1, and that in the range from 28 to 37 °C was 33 kJ mol−1. This value agrees with the result of a continuous feeding test (94 kJ mol−1, between 6 and 22 °C). The nitrogen removal performance demonstrated at the low temperatures used in this study will open the door for the application of anammox processes to many types of industrial wastewater treatment.

Nitrogen removal performance using anaerobic ammonium oxidation at low temperatures

Methanol inhibition of anaerobic ammonium oxidation (anammox) activity was characterized. An enrichment culture entrapped in a polyethylene glycol gel carrier was designed for practical uses of wastewater treatment. Batch experiments demonstrated that anammox activity decreased with increases in methanol concentration, and relative activity reached to 29% of the maximum when 5 mM methanol was added. Also, batch experiments were conducted using anammox sludge without immobilization. Anammox activity was evaluated by quantifying (14)N(15)N ((29)N) emission by combined gas chromatography-quadrupole mass spectrometry, and the anammox activity was found to be almost as sensitive to methanol as in the earlier trials in which gel carriers were used. These results indicated that methanol inhibition was less severe than previous studies. When methanol was added in the influent of continuous feeding system, relative activity was decreased to 46% after 80 h. Although the addition was halted, afterwards the anammox activity was not resumed in another 19 days of cultivation, suggesting that methanol inhibition to anammox activity was irreversible. It is notable that methanol inhibition was not observed if anammox activity was quiescent when substrate for anammox was not supplied. These results suggest that methanol itself is not inhibitory and may not directly inhibit the anammox activity.

High-rate denitrification using polyethylene glycol gel carriers entrapping heterotrophic denitrifying bacteria.

Effects of inorganic carbon limitation on anaerobic ammonium oxidation (anammox) activity.

To facilitate the application of anaerobic ammonium oxidation (anammox) to a nitrogen removal process, the effects of heavy metals (Ni, Cu, Co, Zn, and Mo) on anammox bacteria entrapped in gel carriers were examined by conducting continuous feeding tests for each metal. The results show that all anammox activities decreased by more than 10 % when influent concentrations of Ni, Cu, Co, Zn, and Mo were 5, 5, 5, 10, and 0.2 mg/L, respectively. It was observed that the effects of Ni, Cu, Co, and Zn on anammox activity were reversible and that of Mo on anammox activity was irreversible. Anammox activity was not affected when influent containing mixed Ni, Cu, Co, and Zn (0.5 mg/L) was fed into the reactor.
