ABSTRACT
This study aims to address the suboptimal performance of conventional denitrifying strains in treating mariculture tail water (MTW) containing inorganic nitrogen (IN). The concentration of inorganic nitrogen in the mariculture tail water is about 5-20 mg·L-1. A biofilm treatment process was developed and evaluated using an anoxic-anoxic-aerobic biofilter composite system inoculated with the denitrifying strain Meyerozyma guilliermondii Y8. The removal effect of total nitrogen (TN), IN, and Chemical Oxygen Demand (CODMn) from MTW was investigated. The results indicate that the A2O composite biological filter has excellent pollutant removal efficiency within 25 days of operation, after the acclimation of the denitrifying microorganisms. The initial concentrations of TN, IN, and CODMn ranged between 10.24 and 12.89 mg·L-1, 7.84-10.49 mg·L-1, and 9.44-11.52 mg·L-1, respectively, and the removal rates of these indexes reached 38-68 %, 45-70 %, and 55-70 %, respectively. The experiments with different hydraulic retention times (HRT = 6 h, 8 h, 10 h) demonstrated that longer HRT was more conducive to the removal of inorganic nitrogen. Moreover, scanning electron microscopy observations revealed that the target strain successfully grew and attached to the filler in large quantities. The findings of this study provide practical guidance for the development of efficient biofilm processes for the treatment of MTW.
