The A^2/O process was operated in a short aerobic sludge retention time (SRT) for organic pollutants and phosphorus removal, and denitrification. The subsequent BAF process was mainly used for nitrification. The BAF effluent was partially returned to anoxic zone of the A^2/O process to provide electron acceptors for denitrification and anoxic P uptake. This unique system formed an environment for reproducing the denitdfying phosphate-accumulating organisms (DPAOs). The ratio of DPAOs to phosphorus accumulating organisms (PAOs) could be maintained at 28% by optimizing the organic loads in the anaerobic zone and the nitrate loads into the anoxic zone in the A^2/O process. The aerobic phosphorus over-uptake and discharge of excess activated sludge was the main mechanism of phosphorus removal in the combined system. The aerobic SRT of the A^2/O process should meet the demands for the development of aerobic PAOs and the restraint on the nitrifiers growth, and the contact time in the aerobic zone of the A^2/O process should be longer than 30 min, which ensured efficient phosphorus removal in the combined system. The adequate BAF effluent return rates should be controlled with 1--4 mg/L nitrate nitrogen in the anoxic zone effluent of A^2/O process to achieve the optimal nitrogen and phosphorus removal efficiencies.展开更多

文摘在10 L的A^2/O反应器中构建微生物燃料电池(MFC)系统,以厌氧段作为阳极室去除有机物,缺氧段作为阴极室去除硝酸盐.结果发现,30 d左右可以达到最大输出电流.系统启动后进入稳定期对水力停留时间(HRT)进行优化,结果表明,当HRT=16 h时可以获得最佳出水效果,此时MFC的出水COD、总氮浓度分别比对照A^2/O反应器低14.6%和10.1%,在100Ω外阻下的输出功率密度为612 m W·m^(-3);当HRT=12 h时,产电效果最好,最大输出功率密度可以达到808 m W·m^(-3).
