Applicability of two-stage anoxic/oxic shortcut nitrogen removal via partial nitrification and partial denitrification for municipal wastewater by adding sludge fermentation products continuously

Yao Chen et al.

Summary: Partial nitrification and partial denitrification combined with anammox is a promising process for sewage treatment, which was successfully achieved in this study by adding sludge fermentation products in the anoxic zone to facilitate nitrite accumulation and improve denitrification efficiency. The system achieved a high removal rate of total nitrogen, with enriched incomplete denitrifiers and ammonia oxidizing bacteria contributing to the high nitrite accumulation.

The nitrification recovery capacity is the key to enhancing nitrogen removal in the AOA system at low temperatures

Xinjie Gao et al.

Summary: This study investigated the nitrogen removal performance of AOA process at low and room temperatures. The results showed that the nitrification capacity of AOA process was recovered at low temperature and the endogenous denitrification performance was enhanced by converting the partial aerobic zone into anoxic. The activity and abundance of ammonia-oxidizing bacteria (AOB) increased at low temperature, which was the key for nitrification capacity recovery. Overall, AOA system showed the possibility of advanced nitrogen removal at low temperatures.

Survival strategy of comammox bacteria in a wastewater nutrient removal system with sludge fermentation liquid as additional carbon source

Shaoyi Xu et al.

Summary: This study identified Candidatus Nitrospira nitrosa-like comammox bacteria as the predominant ammonia oxidizers in a lab-scale BNR system, with the potential to use acetate and propionate, stimulate ammonia oxidation rate, and interact metabolically with heterotrophs. Comammox bacteria have shown to provide vitamins/cofactors to heterotrophs and receive amino acids in return, contributing to their survival in the system and outcompeting ammonia oxidizing bacteria. Systems with comammox bacteria as the major nitrifiers have great potential for superior performance with low aeration cost and N2O emission at full-scale plants.

Implications for mitigation of antibiotic resistance: Differential response of intracellular and extracellular antibiotic resistance genes to sludge fermentation coupled with thermal hydrolysis

Chen Cai et al.

Summary: The study found that thermal hydrolysis pretreatment can effectively remove antibiotic resistance genes in sewage sludge, but may increase extracellular ARGs. Intracellular ARGs were dominant during the acidogenic fermentation process, while extracellular ARGs were susceptible to biodegradation and had limited contribution to ARGs propagation.

Enhanced aerobic granulation for treating low-strength wastewater in an anaerobic-aerobic-anoxic sequencing batch reactor by selecting slow-growing organisms and adding carriers

Dongbo Liang et al.

Summary: The study found that adding carriers in AN/O/AX_SBR can shorten the maturation period of AGS and improve its physical strength. The technology can simultaneously achieve nitrification, endogenous denitrification, and phosphorus removal, with removal efficiencies of total nitrogen and total phosphorus above 70% and 80%, respectively.

Sludge fermentation liquid addition attained advanced nitrogen removal in low C/N ratio municipal wastewater through short-cut nitrification-denitrification and partial anammox

Shengjie Qiu et al.

Summary: The study successfully improved the process of enhancing biological nitrogen removal of wastewater with low COD/N ratio by involving anammox process, achieving stable removal efficiency of TIN with the contribution of anammox bacteria in reducing external ammonia. The combination of anammox with SFL addition resulted in a stable enhanced nitrogen biological removal.

Improving simultaneous N, P, and C removal and microbial population dynamics in an anaerobic-aerobic-anoxic SBR (A-O-A-SBR) treating municipal wastewater by altering organic loading rate (OLR)

Shuli Liu et al.

Summary: The study investigated the impact of influent organic loading rate on the performance of an improved A-O-A-SBR system, with results showing that optimal simultaneous removal of nitrogen, phosphorus, and organic matter was achieved at an OLR of 2.03 g-COD/Lid. The study also identified key microbial phyla and classes contributing to the excellent system performance, with functional gene analysis indicating improved pollutant degradation metabolism under proper OLR conditions.

Carrier type induces anammox biofilm structure and the nitrogen removal pathway: Demonstration in a full-scale partial nitritation/anammox process

Shenhua Yang et al.

Summary: This study analyzed and compared the biofilm structure, performance, and nitrogen removal pathways of microporous and macroporous carriers from a full-scale partial nitritation/anammox reactor. Microporous carriers had thicker biofilms, higher biomass, and nitrogen removal efficiency due to the integration of denitrifying and anammox bacteria, while macroporous carriers had thinner biofilms, lower microbial richness, but strong network correlation among genera.
