Fe2O3: A Kind of Starter for Autotrophic Nitrogen Removal Systems
摘要
Fe3+ reduction-coupled anaerobic ammonia oxidation (Feammox) bacteria are a type of autotrophic nitrogen-removing bacteria discovered in recent years. In this study, Fe2O3 was added to the anammox system as a kind of fast starter for the Feammox, and the incubation process, nitrogen removal performance, and kinetic simulation process of Feammox were investigated. The data showed that the NH4+-N removal could reach up to 96% during the steady state period. The modified Boltzmann model fitted in the kinetic analysis of Feammox (R2 = 0.99632), which could explain the NH4+-N removal and NO3−-N generation. In summary, exploring the cultivation process and results of Feammox is crucial for NH4+-N removal performance and provides data support for constructing the Feammox process as the mainstream wastewater treatment process.
