Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of wastewater treatment technology and relates to a method for improving the denitrification effect of anaerobic ammonia oxidation in high ammonia nitrogen wastewater. In particular, it relates to a method for regulating the denitrification effect by adding one or more of the following in combination as enhancers: vitamin B6, siderophore catechin (CAT), and siderophore hydroxyethyl ethylenediamine triacetic acid (HEDTA) to high ammonia nitrogen wastewater. By alleviating the inhibitory effect of the high ammonia nitrogen environment on the anaerobic ammonia oxidation functional bacteria, the metabolic activity and proliferation rate of the anaerobic ammonia oxidation bacteria are significantly enhanced. Background Technology
[0002] Anaerobic ammonia oxidation occurs under anaerobic conditions, where anaerobic ammonia-oxidizing bacteria utilize NH4+. + -N and NO2 - -N is used as the substrate, which is converted into nitrogen gas, accompanied by a small amount of NO3. - The process of nitrogen (N-) generation. This process breaks through the dependence of traditional nitrification-denitrification on organic carbon sources, achieving autotrophic denitrification without the need for external carbon sources. This characteristic directly brings multiple core advantages: significantly reduced aeration energy consumption, significantly reduced excess sludge production, and a multiplied increase in reactor efficiency through high-load granular sludge technology, thereby saving land and infrastructure investment. While significantly reducing operating costs, this process also possesses excellent carbon emission reduction potential due to its low energy consumption characteristics, making it a key technological path to achieving "carbon neutrality" in wastewater treatment.
[0003] However, when applied to treat wastewater with high ammonia nitrogen concentrations, the denitrification efficiency of anaerobic ammonia oxidation systems shows a significant decline. This is because the high ammonia nitrogen environment severely interferes with the normal physiological activities of the bacterial community: on the one hand, it causes drastic fluctuations in intracellular pH and disrupts proton balance, directly inhibiting the activity of key metabolic enzymes; on the other hand, continuous osmotic stress forces cells to consume large amounts of energy to maintain homeostasis, ultimately severely restricting the metabolic activity and proliferation capacity of the entire bacterial community. Furthermore, since anaerobic ammonia oxidizing bacteria are chemoautotrophic, their slow growth rate and long doubling time further limit their denitrification performance under high ammonia nitrogen loads. Therefore, a method is urgently needed to alleviate the inhibitory effect of high ammonia nitrogen on anaerobic ammonia oxidizing bacteria, improve their activity under high ammonia nitrogen conditions, and enhance their denitrification performance.
[0004] Existing technologies for enhancing anaerobic ammonia-oxidizing bacteria mainly include: adding iron-based materials such as magnetite and hematite to improve the aggregation morphology and physical structure of the bacteria; or supplementing with nutrients such as specific amino acids to enhance the bacteria's ability to resist external stresses such as heavy metals. However, these methods focus on optimizing the physical properties of the bacteria or enhancing specific resistance, failing to directly and efficiently address the problem of metabolic activity inhibition of anaerobic ammonia-oxidizing bacteria by high-ammonia nitrogen wastewater. For example, CN116161787A discloses a method for enhancing the performance of anaerobic ammonia oxidation using magnetite as a reinforcing agent. This method involves adding micron-sized magnetite to an upflow anaerobic sludge blanket (UASB) reactor to promote the secretion of extracellular polymers by bacterial communities. The extracellular polymers and iron nuclei increase the particle size of the bacteria, thereby enhancing the activity of anaerobic ammonia oxidizing bacteria. However, this method has limited applicability, is not highly targeted at high ammonia nitrogen wastewater, and the introduced inorganic solids may cause long-term side effects.
[0005] For example, CN119349765A discloses a method for efficiently treating nitrogen-containing wastewater using an iron promoter. After inoculating the reactor with anaerobic ammonia oxidation active seed sludge, nano-sized hematite is added in a single step, along with trace elements, to increase the sludge particle density of the anaerobic ammonia oxidizing bacteria, thereby improving their growth rate and activity. However, this method has a limited treatment concentration range and insufficient capacity for treating high-ammonia nitrogen wastewater. Its mechanism of action mainly relies on physical conduction, offering limited improvement in the intrinsic metabolic tolerance of the bacterial community. Without the addition of an external promoter, the system's denitrification performance rapidly declines.
[0006] For example, CN119912060A discloses a method for enhancing the resistance of anammox granular sludge to heavy metal stress by adding nutrients, wherein the nutrients include at least one of proline, arginine, glutamic acid, lysine, and nicotinic acid. The nutrient solution is periodically added to an anammox granular sludge system that has been or may be subsequently subjected to heavy metal stress, thereby improving the sludge's ability to resist heavy metal stress. However, this method mainly targets specific stresses and has no significant effect on substrate inhibition caused by ammonia nitrogen itself. Furthermore, the effectiveness of this method is highly dependent on the survival and dominance of a single bacterial species (i.e., anammox bacteria) in the complex and variable actual wastewater, and faces limitations in stability and reliability during long-term operation.
[0007] In summary, while existing enhancement methods can improve some performance aspects of anaerobic ammonia oxidation systems under specific conditions, they do not fundamentally enhance the metabolic activity and tolerance of bacterial communities in high ammonia nitrogen environments. Therefore, how to directly and efficiently alleviate the inhibitory effect of high ammonia nitrogen on the activity of anaerobic ammonia oxidation functional bacteria remains a key issue that urgently needs to be addressed in the practical application of this technology in high ammonia nitrogen wastewater treatment.

Before activation, the particle diameter was between 0.5 and 3 mm. Inoculation was performed in a glove box, and cultivation was carried out on a constant temperature shaker at 200 r / min. During cultivation, the initial culture medium pH was 7.0, a strictly anaerobic environment was maintained, and the cultivation temperature was maintained at 29-31℃. After activation with the nutrient medium, the sludge gradually turned red, exhibiting granular shapes of varying sizes, with the particles growing larger to a diameter between 0.5 and 4 mm, indicating that the anaerobic ammonia oxidation granular sludge possessed denitrification activity, paving the way for further experiments. The nutrient medium formula was as follows (1 L): 3 g tryptone, 0.5 g (NH4)2SO4, 0.25 g NaNO2, 0.84 g NaHCO3, and 5 g NaCl. Add the above-mentioned ingredients to approximately 800 mL of distilled water and stir thoroughly with a magnetic stirrer until all components are dissolved. Measure the pH of the solution in real time using a pH meter, and adjust the pH to 7.0 using NaOH (5 M) or HCl (5 M). Make up the volume to 1 L. Dispense the culture medium into vials and autoclave (121°C, 20 minutes) to ensure thorough sterilization. After sterilization, inoculate in a glove box with an inoculation volume of approximately 10-20% of the culture medium volume. The MLSS concentration of the inoculated sludge should be 10.0-11.0 g / L. Incubate after inoculation, maintaining a strictly anaerobic environment at a temperature of 29-31°C.
[0036] The activated and cultured granular sludge was inoculated with initial NH4. + and NO2 -Subsequent experiments were conducted using anaerobic ammonia oxidation media with concentrations of 500, 1000, and 1500 mg / L. The formulation of the anaerobic ammonia oxidation media with an initial ammonia nitrogen concentration of 500 mg / L was as follows (1L): (NH4)2SO4 1.83g, NaNO2 0.75g, NaHCO3 0.84g, low-magnesium solution 10 mL, Se / W / Mo solution 1 mL, and vitamin stock solution 1 mL; while NH4 + and NO2 - Culture media with concentrations of 1000 and 1500 mg / L were adjusted proportionally to correspond to the masses of (NH4)2SO4 and NaNO2. After preparing the anaerobic ammonia oxidation medium according to the described formula in a 2 L three-necked flask, the medium was boiled using a heating device and purged with nitrogen for approximately 30 min to remove dissolved oxygen. 45 mL of the medium was then transferred to a vial using a pipette, sealed with a rubber stopper and aluminum cap, and autoclaved (121°C, 20 min). Following sterilization, inoculation was performed in a glove box. The magnesium-deficient solution (1 L) contains: NaCl 100 g, MgCl2·6H2O 10 g, KH2PO4 20 g, KCl 30 g, CaCl2·2H2O 1.5 g; the Se / W / Mo solution (1 L) contains: NaSeO3 0.004 g, NaWO4·2H2O 0.008 g, Na2MoO4·2H2O 0.036 g, NaOH 0.5 g; the vitamin stock solution (1 L) contains: D(+) biotin 20 mg, folic acid 20 mg, pyridoxine dihydrochloride monohydrate 252 mg, riboflavin 50 mg, thiamine hydrochloride 50 mg, niacin 50 mg, calcium-D(+)-pantothenic acid 50 mg, para-aminobenzoic acid 50 mg, DL-α-lipoic acid 50 mg, and vitamin B12 50 mg.
[0037] Under an initial ammonia nitrogen concentration of 500 mg / L, the concentrations of ammonia nitrogen, nitrite nitrogen, and nitrate nitrogen in the culture medium were measured every 2 days. Ammonia nitrogen was detected using Nessler's reagent colorimetric method, nitrite nitrogen using N-(1-naphthyl)-ethylenediamine spectrophotometry, and nitrate nitrogen using direct ultraviolet spectrophotometry. Under initial ammonia nitrogen concentrations of 1000 and 1500 mg / L, the detection interval was 3 days. The experiment ended on day 6, and the ammonia nitrogen removal rate was calculated. The calculation formula is: ; in, To provide real-time ammonia nitrogen concentration during the cultivation process, This represents the initial ammonia nitrogen concentration in the culture medium.
[0038] The settings for each embodiment and comparative example are shown in Table 1.
[0039] Examples 1-15 In the glove box, the activated granular sludge was inoculated into vials containing anaerobic ammonia oxidation medium. In the vitamin B6 experiment, the experimental group was divided into 6 groups, each inoculated with the same wet weight sludge, and different concentrations of vitamin B6 were added to the 6 groups: the control group (comparative example) without vitamin B6, and the group with different concentrations of vitamin B6.
[0040] Examples 16-27 In the experiment on CAT (carrier iron), the experimental group was divided into 5 groups, each inoculated with the same wet heavy sludge. Different concentrations of CAT were added to each of the 5 groups: a control group (comparative example) without CAT, and experimental groups with different concentrations of CAT. Furthermore, to ensure that all experimental groups had the same and sufficient iron source, Fe was added to each group at a concentration equal to the molar concentration of the CAT. 3+ (Provided in the form of Fe2(SO4)3), the concentrations of ammonia nitrogen, nitrite nitrogen and nitrate nitrogen in the wastewater were measured every 3 days under all conditions. The experiment ended on the 6th day and the ammonia nitrogen removal rate was calculated.
[0041] Examples 28-39 In the experiment using HEDTA as a siderophore, the experimental group was divided into 5 groups, each inoculated with the same wet heavy sludge. Different concentrations of HEDTA were added to each of the 5 groups: a control group (comparative example) without HEDTA, and experimental groups with different concentrations of HEDTA. Each group also received Fe2+ at a molar concentration equal to that of the siderophore. 3+ (Provided in the form of Fe2(SO4)3), the concentrations of ammonia nitrogen, nitrite nitrogen and nitrate nitrogen in the wastewater were measured every 3 days under all conditions. The experiment ended on the 6th day and the ammonia nitrogen removal rate was calculated.
[0042] Examples 40-45 In the experiment of combining vitamin B6 with the siderophore CAT / HEDTA as a fortifier, the concentration of vitamin B6 and siderophore CAT was matched according to the principle of low concentration of vitamin B6 with low concentration of CAT and high concentration of vitamin B6 with high concentration of CAT. The experimental group was divided into 4 groups, each inoculated with the same wet heavy sludge. The 4 groups corresponded to different concentration combinations: 0 mg / L vitamin B6 + 0 μmol / L CAT (comparative example), 1 mg / L vitamin B6 + 12 μmol / L CAT (500 mg / L initial ammonia nitrogen), 3 mg / L vitamin B6 + 48 μmol / L CAT (1000 mg / L initial ammonia nitrogen), and 1 mg / L vitamin B6 + 12 μmol / L CAT (1500 mg / L initial ammonia nitrogen). In the combined experiment of vitamin B6 and the siderophore HEDTA, the experimental group was divided into four groups, each inoculated with the same wet heavy sludge. The four groups corresponded to different concentration combinations: 0 mg / L vitamin B6 + 0 μmol / L HEDTA (comparative example), 1 mg / L vitamin B6 + 24 μmol / L HEDTA (500 mg / L initial ammonia nitrogen), 3 mg / L vitamin B6 + 36 μmol / L HEDTA (1000 mg / L initial ammonia nitrogen), and 1 mg / L vitamin B6 + 24 μmol / L HEDTA (1500 mg / L initial ammonia nitrogen). Furthermore, to ensure that all experimental groups had the same and sufficient iron source, Fe was added to each group at a concentration equal to the molar concentration of the siderophore. 3+ (Provided in the form of Fe2(SO4)3), the concentrations of ammonia nitrogen, nitrite nitrogen and nitrate nitrogen in the wastewater were measured every 3 days under all conditions. The experiment ended on the 6th day and the ammonia nitrogen removal rate was calculated.
[0043] Examples 46-48 An experiment designed for the batch addition of vitamin B6 and siderophore CAT combined fortifier was conducted. Vitamin B6 and CAT were added twice during a 6-day culture period (i.e., half of vitamin B6 and CAT were added in the first batch, and the remaining vitamin B6 and CAT were added in the second batch).
[0044] Comparative Examples 1-3 This is equivalent to the control group without the added reinforcing agent in the aforementioned examples.
[0045] Table 1 The ammonia nitrogen removal rates of the comparative examples were calculated, and the results are shown in Table 1.
[0046] For vitamin B6, in the initial NH4 + and NO2 -At a concentration of 500 mg / L, appropriate addition of vitamin B6 can enhance the removal of ammonia nitrogen and nitrite nitrogen by anaerobic ammonia-oxidizing bacteria. The preferred concentration range is 0.1–2.0 mg / L, with an optimal concentration of 1.0 mg / L. (Initially, NH4...) + and NO2 - When the concentration is 1000 mg / L, the preferred concentration range is 2.0~5.0 mg / L, and the optimal concentration is 3.0 mg / L; in the initial NH4 + and NO2 - When the concentration is 1500 mg / L, the preferred concentration range is between 0.1 and 2.0 mg / L, with an optimal concentration of 1.0 mg / L. Excessive addition (e.g., ≥2.0 mg / L) may actually reduce the promoting effect or even inhibit bacterial activity. Population analysis was performed on the anaerobic ammonia oxidation granular sludge cultured under an initial ammonia nitrogen condition of 1000 mg / L (Comparative Example 2 and Examples 6-10). The results are as follows... Figure 1 As shown, in the experimental group treated with 3.0 mg / L vitamin B6, the anaerobic ammonia-oxidizing bacteria... Candidate Brocadia The highest relative abundance was found in *Broccardia*, reaching 10.95%, followed by other genera: Pseudomonas (Pseudomonas): 35.99%, Macellibacteriodes (Carnivorous Bacteria): 9.57%, Proteocatella (Proteophiles): 10.34%, Comamonadaceae (Trichomonasceae): 7.46%, Acetoanaerobic (Acetogenic anaerobic bacteria): 1.76%. Pseudomonas As key symbiotic bacteria, they primarily support the anaerobic ammonium oxidation (Anammox) process in two ways: firstly, through denitrification, they convert nitrates (NO3-) into nitrogenous compounds. - ) is reduced to nitrite (NO2) - Firstly, it provides key reaction substrates for the Anammox process; secondly, it secretes quorum sensing signaling molecules to regulate and promote the enrichment and metabolic activity of Anammox bacteria. Furthermore, its metabolic processes consume trace amounts of oxygen and degrade some COD, contributing to a more suitable anaerobic environment for Anammox bacteria. Comamonadaceae It has the ability to remove excess NO3 from the system through complete denitrification. - The role of (Anammox byproducts) in optimizing total nitrogen removal. Macellibacteriodes、Proteocatella and Acetoanaerobic Providing carbon sources and related substrates for anaerobic ammonia-oxidizing bacteria helps maintain a stable anaerobic environment. Adding different concentrations of vitamin B6 affects the function of anaerobic ammonia-oxidizing bacteria. Candidate Brocadia The relative abundance of [the bacteria] has an impact and can significantly improve the functional bacteria. Candidate Brocadia The proportion of nitrogen in the community improves the overall nitrogen removal performance of the system.
[0047] For ferrocarrier CAT in initial NH4 + and NO2 - At concentrations of 500, 1000, and 1500 mg / L, appropriate addition of the siderophore CAT improved the removal of ammonia nitrogen and nitrite nitrogen by anaerobic ammonia-oxidizing bacteria. The preferred concentration ranges were 12–36 μmol / L (at 500 mg / L ammonia nitrogen) and 12–24 μmol / L (at 1000 and 1500 mg / L ammonia nitrogen), respectively, with optimal concentrations of 36 μmol / L (at 500 mg / L ammonia nitrogen) and 12 μmol / L (at 1000 and 1500 mg / L ammonia nitrogen). Excessive addition may lead to a decrease in the promoting effect or even a lower removal rate than the control group. For the siderophore HEDTA, at the initial NH4... + and NO2 - When the concentrations are 500, 1000 and 1500 mg / L, the appropriate addition of iron carrier HEDTA can improve the removal of ammonia nitrogen and nitrite nitrogen by anaerobic ammonia oxidizing bacteria. The preferred concentration range is 24~36 μmol / L, and the optimal concentration is 24 μmol / L.
[0048] For the combination of vitamin B6 and the siderophore CAT, in the initial NH4 + and NO2 - At concentrations of 500, 1000, and 1500 mg / L, the addition of appropriate concentrations of vitamin B6 and the siderophore CAT combination all improved the removal of ammonia nitrogen and nitrite nitrogen by anaerobic ammonia oxidizing bacteria. Among all concentration combinations, the combination of 1 mg / L vitamin B6 + 12 μmol / L CAT showed the best overall denitrification effect. For the combination of vitamin B6 and the siderophore HEDTA, at initial culture concentrations of 500, 1000, and 1500 mg / L, the addition of appropriate concentrations of vitamin B6 and the siderophore HEDTA combination all improved the removal of ammonia nitrogen and nitrite nitrogen by anaerobic ammonia oxidizing bacteria. Among all concentration combinations, the combination of 1 mg / L vitamin B6 + 24 μmol / L HEDTA showed the best overall denitrification effect.
[0049] For the phased addition of the combination of vitamin B6 and the siderophore CAT, in the initial NH4 + and NO2 - At concentrations of 500, 1000, and 1500 mg / L, the combined effect of the enhancer was the same as when all the enhancers were added at the beginning of the culture, all of which could improve the removal of ammonia nitrogen and nitrite nitrogen by anaerobic ammonia oxidizing bacteria. However, when the enhancers were added in batches, the enhancers at the same concentration showed a better denitrification effect.
[0050] In summary, this invention utilizes a specific enhancer to improve the activity of anaerobic ammonia-oxidizing bacteria under high ammonia nitrogen conditions, thereby enhancing their nitrogen removal performance. When added to an anaerobic ammonia oxidation system, it significantly improves ammonia nitrogen removal efficiency, optimizes the microbial community structure, and promotes the growth of functional bacteria. Candidate Brocadia Enrichment of vitamin B6 at low, medium, and high initial NH4 levels. + and NO2 - Optimal dosage ranges exist for each concentration; excessive dosage may inhibit bacterial activity. Siderophores CAT and HEDTA also exhibit clear concentration effects under different initial ammonia nitrogen conditions, effectively enhancing the system's denitrification performance. In particular, when vitamin B6 is used in combination with siderophores CAT or HEDTA, or added in batches, the stability and treatment efficiency of the anaerobic ammonia oxidation process can be further enhanced under appropriate concentration combinations, achieving superior ammonia nitrogen removal. The enhancers and their combination strategies provided by this invention are suitable for wastewater treatment with different initial pollution loads, offering advantages such as flexible operation, significant effects, and ease of promotion. It represents a highly efficient and controllable microbial enhanced denitrification technology.
