Abstract
Nitrite (NO2−) accumulation and retaining of anammox bacteria are two decisive factors for stable operation of partial denitrification coupled with the anammox process. Denitrifying ammonium oxidation (DEAMOX) process has been regarded as a promising method for nitrogen removal from wastewater containing both ammonium (NH4+) and nitrate (NO3−) pollutants simultaneously. However, performance and efficiency of DEAMOX process in biofilm reactors are still not fully understood. This study successfully implements biodegradable Luffa Cylindrica fiber as both carbon source and biofilm carrier in the DEAMOX system. 87% nitrate-to-nitrite transformation was achieved through the partial denitrification process. An average total nitrogen (TN) removal efficiency of ~98% was obtained with influent NH4+-N and NO3−-N concentration of 100 mg L−1 in an up-flow packed bed biofilm reactor. The Field Emission-Scanning Electron Microscopy (FE-SEM) analysis indicated that for the proposed conditions, the DEAMOX packed bed reactor favor biofilm granulation developed on L. cylindrica. The results imply that solid phase partial denitrification and granulation of anammox bacteria were achieved using L. cylindrica as a carbon source and biofilm carrier, respectively. Complete NO3− removal observed in this study supports the hypothesis that solid carbon source can support denitrification of NO3− produced through the anammox process.
