Abstract:

The biological denitrification method for nitrate removal has gained widespread application due to its low energy consumption and absence of secondary pollution. Electron donors play a crucial role in influencing the efficiency of nitrate treatment during the biological denitrification process. Currently, external electron donors primarily consist of carbon sources, thiosulfate, and their combinations. To investigate the effects of various electron donors on the biological treatment efficiency of nitrate in groundwater and the synergistic interactions among microorganisms, three systems were established: glucose, sodium thiosulfate, and a composite electron donor (glucose-sodium thiosulfate). Each system was operated independently. When the hydraulic retention time (HRT) was reduced to 1.1 hours, only the composite electron donor system maintained a NO x-N removal rate exceeding 90% without significant nitrite nitrogen accumulation. Under identical S/N conditions, the composite electron donor system produced less SO42- compared to the sodium thiosulfate donor system, and exhibited lower sludge concentrations than those observed with glucose. Analysis of microbial community structure revealed that within the composite electron donor system, key functional bacteria included Sulfurimonas and Saccharimonadales, which accounted for 41.0% and 20.6%, respectively, significantly higher proportions than those found in single-electron-donor systems. These findings suggest that utilizing a composite electron donor can enhance both functional bacterial abundance and nitrate removal efficacy. Furthermore, within this composite system, there was an increased abundance of functional metabolism associated with interbacterial synergism compared to single-electron-donor systems; additionally, there were elevated levels of functional genes related to interbacterial energy transfer and metabolic coupling-factors contributing positively to nitrogen removal performance and stability.

摘要:

生物反硝化法除硝酸盐因低能耗、无二次污染,得到了广泛应用。电子供体在生物反硝化过程中对硝酸盐处理效率有重要影响,目前外加电子供体主要有碳源、硫代硫酸盐以及二者复合。为了探究不同电子供体对地下水硝酸盐生物处理效能及微生物间协同作用的影响,本文构建了葡萄糖、硫代硫酸钠、复合电子供体(葡萄糖-硫代硫酸钠)3个系统。3个系统分别运行,当水力停留时间(HRT)降低至1.1h时,仅复合电子供体系统的NO x-N去除率可维持在90%以上且无亚硝酸盐氮产生;在同硫氮比条件下,复合电子供体系统比硫代硫酸钠电子供体系统产生的SO42-更少,且比葡萄糖电子供体系统产生的污泥浓度更小。微生物群落结构分析发现,在复合电子供体系统中,主要功能菌为SulfurimonasSaccharimonadales,分别占41.0%和20.6%,总占比远高于单一电子供体系统,表明复合电子供体可以提高功能菌丰度从而提升硝酸盐去除效果。复合电子供体系统中与菌间协同作用相关的功能代谢丰度高于单一电子供体系统,菌间能量传递和代谢耦合等与协同作用相关功能基因丰度更高,提升了系统的脱氮性能和稳定性。
