RESUMEN
This study proposed an AO-SBR (Anaerobic Aerobic Sequencing Batch Reactor) combined with iron-carbon micro-electrolysis (ICME) particles system for sewage treatment at low temperature and explored the dephosphorisation mechanism and microbial community structure. The experimental results illustrated that ICME particles contributed to phosphorus removal, metabolic mechanism of poly-phosphorus accumulating organism (PAO) and microbial community structure in the AO-SBR system. The optimal treatment effect was achieved under the conditions of pH 7, DO 3.0â mg/L and particle dosage of 2.6â g Fe-C/g MLSS, and the removal rates of COD, TP, NH4+-N and TN reached 80.56%, 91.46%, 69.42% and 57.57%. The proportion of phosphorus accumulating organisms (PAOs) increased from 4.54% in the SBR system to 10.89% in the ICME-SBR system at 10°C. Additionally, the metabolic rate of PAOs was promoted, and the activities of DHA and ETS both reached the maximum value of 13.34 and 102.88 µg·mg-1VSS·h-1. These results suggest that the ICME particles could improve the performance of activated sludge under low-temperature conditions. This technology provides a new way for upgrading the performance of sewage treatment in the cold area.

The treatment of garlic processing wastewater was investigated in a UASB-SBR system. The experimental results showed that UASB was successfully started up after 64 days of continuous operation with COD removal rate of 45%. SBR start-up phase went through 60 days and the COD removal rate achieved 96%. UASB ran under optimal conditions (HRT of 45 h, pH of 7.5, and temperature of 35 ± 2°C) for 14d and performed well in organic matter treatment. SBR played a major part in nitrogen and phosphorus removal when running under optimal conditions (cycle time of 12 h, temperature of 25°C, organic loading of 0.72 kgCOD/(m3·d), and COD of 6000 mg/L) for 18d. Secondly, the microbial community structure indicated that the abundance of ß-Proteobacteria and α-Proteobacteria in the sludge reached 30.05% and 47.57%, respectively, and played a crucial part for the organic matter, nitrogen and phosphorus removal in the SBR. After UASB-SBR system had been stabilised with influent COD of 9800 mg/L, the average COD, TP, NH3-N and TN removal rates were 99%, 94.82%, 87.07% and 94.87%, respectively, which were 3%, -2%, 1% and 3.5% higher than SBR running alone under optimal conditions. UASB coupled with SBR process had an excellent performance for high-concentration garlic processing wastewater.
