Abstract
- [Display omitted] • A two-stage PN/A system for integrated MLL and KWDL treatment had been developed. • The process achieved NRE of 98.1 ± 1.3 % with effluent TIN of 15.2 ± 1.8 mg/L. • Aerobic HRT accounted for just 36.4 % of the whole process with DO < 0.3 mg/L. • The PDA-driving ability of KWDL was comparable to sodium acetate. • Adding KWDL in the later phase of each cycle in A-SBR promoted achieving high NRE. The advanced nitrogen removal of mature landfill leachate (MLL) with low carbon to nitrogen ratio (C/N) is a topic worthy of further research. A two-stage partial nitrification/anammox (PN/A) system for integrated MLL and kitchen waste digestion liquid (KWDL) treatment was established in this study. The nitrogen removal efficiency (NRE) of this process was 98.1 ± 1.3 %, with an effluent TIN concentration of 15.2 ± 1.8 mg/L. In the partial nitrification-sequencing batch reactor (PN-SBR), aerobic hydraulic retention time (HRT) accounted for just 36.4 % of the whole process with dissolved oxygen (DO) < 0.3 mg/L, which significantly reduced energy consumption. Furthermore, the introduction of KWDL heightened anoxic denitrification and aerobic simultaneous nitrification and denitrification (SND) processes, contributing to 74.2 ± 4.3 % and 25.8 ± 4.3 % of the total NRE, respectively. This greatly strengthened the nitrogen removal capacity of PN-SBR. Batch tests indicated that the capacity of KWDL as a carbon source to drive the process of partial denitrification coupled with anammox (PDA) was equal to that of sodium acetate. Adding KWDL in the later phase of each cycle in the anammox-sequencing batch reactor (A-SBR) facilitated achieving stable PDA and advanced nitrogen removal. The nitrate accumulation problem in the traditional two-stage PN/A process has been resolved without the addition of carbon sources. Nitrosomonas (3.7 %→7.9 %), Thauera (0.04 %→40.7 %) and a salt-tolerant AnAOB microbe, unclassified_f_Brocadiaceae (0 %→5.3 %) were dominant in the combined system. This study revealed a pioneering avenue for efficient high-strength wastewater treatment. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
