Effects of different external carbon sources and electron acceptors on interactions between denitrification and phosphorus removal in BNR processes
Abstract
The effects of two different external carbon sources (acetate, ethanol) and electron acceptors (dissolved oxygen, nitrate and nitrite) were investigated under aerobic and anoxic conditions with non-acclimated process biomass from a full-scale biological nutrient removal activated sludge system. When acetate was added as an external carbon source, phosphate release was observed even in the presence of electron acceptors. The release rates were 1.7, 7.8 and 3.5 mg P/(gMLVSS·h), respectively, for dissolved oxygen, nitrate and nitrite. In the case of ethanol, no phosphate release was observed in the presence of electron acceptors. Results of the experiments with nitrite showed that approximately 25 mg NO2-N/L of nitrite inhibited anoxic phosphorus uptake regardless of the concentration of the tested external carbon sources. Furthermore, higher denitrification rates were obtained with acetate (1.4 and 0.8 mg N/(gMLVSS·h)) compared to ethanol (1.1 and 0.7 mg N/(gMLVSS·h)) for both anoxic electron acceptors (nitrate and nitrite).
