Abstract
Effect of β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) on simultaneous removal of NH4+-N, NO3–-N, COD, and phosphorus (P) in biogenic manganese oxides (BioMnOx) driven moving bed biofilm reactor (MBBR) was investigated. 58.64% and 86.32%, 79.65% and 98.39%, 62.45% and 97.30%, and 24.80% and 95.90% of TN and COD were removed in phases I-IV, indicating that simultaneous nitrification and denitrification (SND) efficiencies were 75.44%, 83.91%, 72.71%, and 35.83%, respectively. Composition and fluorescence spectral characteristics of extracellular polymeric substance (EPS) were evaluated including the removal kinetics of TN and COD. Metabolic activity of Mn2+, decolorization performance of BioMnOx, and reactive oxygen species (ROS) characteristics were determined in biofilm. Furthermore, intermediate Mn3+ and BioMnOx concentration were analyzed. Finally, the removal process of nitrogen (N) and P was proposed based on characterizations of elemental characterization, electrochemistry, and microbial community. This study provides new insights into the N and P removal mediated by BioMnOx and β-CD.
