Abstract
In this study, a four-stage MPSR process was employed for the treatment of urban wastewater. Three different conditions were established by controlling dissolved oxygen (DO) concentration, organic load rate (OLR), and influent pH value to examine pollutant removal effects and the changes of the heterotrophic nitrification-aerobic denitrification (HN-AD) functional bacteria communities. The factors driving changes in the HN-AD bacterial community and differences in nitrogen metabolism were revealed in the urban wastewater treatment system. The results showed that by forming anoxic/aerobic alternate oxygen environments and increasing influent OLR and pH, various HN-AD bacteria (Pseudomonas, Aeromonas, Flavobacterium) were enriched in the system, leading to improved removal capacity for NH4+-N and TN. Under optimal condition, the removal rates of NH4+-N and TN were 94.0 % and 78.7 % respectively. The dominant species of HN-AD bacteria were influenced by OLR and pH. The HN-AD bacteria exhibited the capacity for heterotrophic nitrification and aerobic denitrification within the system. This study provides a technological basis for the application of HN-AD bacteria for wastewater treatment.
