Abstract
Hydraulic retention time (HRT) is a significant operational eter of denitrifying filter (DF). The influence of HRT on the performance and mechanism of advanced synergistic nitrogen removal (ASNR) of partial-denitrification anammox (PDA) and denitrification was investigated, consuming the hydrolytic and oxidation products of refractory organics in the secondary effluent (SE) as carbon source. When the HRT was 8, 6, 4 and 2 h, the filtered effluent total nitrogen (TN) was 1.47, 3.47, 4.17 and 4.49 mg/L, and the effluent CODcr was 8.12, 9.95, 9.40 and 9.87 mg/L, respectively. Removing 1 mg of TN actually consumed 0.87–0.96 mg CODcr, and the contribution rate of PDA to TN removal was 62.10–70.02 %. A variety of manganese oxidizing (MnOB), hydrolytic, anammox and denitrifying bacteria were identified, and their abundance was obviously affected by the HRT. The lack of carbon source was the main factor limiting the ASNR efficiency, rather than the HRT.
