ABSTRACT
To efficiently remove nutrients from low C/N sanitary sewage by conventional biological process is challenging due to the lack of sufficient electron donors. A novel electrolysis-integrated sequencing batch biofilm reactor (E-SBBR) was established to promote nitrogen and phosphorus removal for sanitary sewage with low C/N ratios (3.5-1.5). Highly efficient removal of nitrogen (>79%) and phosphorus (>97%) was achieved in the E-SBBR operating under alternating anoxic/electrolysis-anoxic/aerobic conditions. The coexistence of autotrophic nitrifiers, electron transfer-related bacteria, and heterotrophic and autohydrogenotrophic denitrifiers indicated synergistic nitrogen removal via multiple nitrogen-removing pathways. Electrolysis application induced microbial anoxic ammonia oxidation, autohydrogenotrophic denitrification and electrocoagulation processes. Deinococcus enriched on the electrodes were likely to mediate the electricity-driven ammonia oxidation which promoted ammonia removal. PICRUSt2 indicated that the relative abundances of key genes (hyaA and hyaB) associated with hydrogen oxidation significantly increased with the decreasing C/N ratios. The high autohydrogenotrophic denitrification rates during the electrolysis-anoxic period could compensate for the decreased heterotrophic rates resulting from insufficient carbon sources and nitrate removal was dramatically enhanced. Electrocoagulation with iron anode was responsible for phosphorus removal. This study provides insights into mechanisms by which electrochemically assisted biological systems enhance nutrient removal for low C/N sanitary sewage.
