As lack of organic carbon source is a key problem for biological denitrification, hemp fiber, PBS, PLA and PE were selected as raw materials, then four kinds of slow-release carbon source composite materials were prepared by 35A-double-screw extruder and used for biological denitrification. Their performan- ces were detected through static and continuous experiments. The results showed that in the static experiments, release carbon abilities of HB20 and HB40 were both not good, their CODMnwere 5.42 and 12.83mg/L respectively; In the continuous experiments, NO3-N removal rate of HLE decreased from 57.9% to 13.1% within 30 days. HBE could cause a continuous release of dissolved organic compound. In the operation of 66 days, above 96.0% NO3-N was removed and NO2-N level was below 0.02mg/L when influent NO3-N =30.0mg/L and HRT=24h. HBE was the most suitable carbon source carrier material for biological denitrification.

Four kinds of slow-release carbon source composite materials were prepared and used as carbon source and biofilm attachment carrier for groundwater nitrate pollution bioremediation. Their performances were detected through static and continuous experiments. The results showed that: In the static experiments, HB20 and HB40 had general release carbon ability, their CODMn were 5.42 and 12.83 mg/L respectively; In the continuous experiments, NO3-N removal rate of HLE decreased from 57.9% to 13.1% within 30 days, the denitrification endurance was not good. Organic carbon source can be released continuously by HBE which had the best denitrifying effect. In the operation of 66 days, above 96.0% NO3-N was removed and NO2-N level was below 0.02mg/L when influent NO3-N =30.0mg/L and HRT=24h. HBE was the most suitable carbon source carrier material which was used in groundwater nitrate pollution bioremediation.

A sequencing batch reactor (SBR) was used to study the effect of carbon source (C6H12O6 and CH3COONa) and C/N ratio (C/N=4:1 and C/N=7:1) on the production of nitrous oxide (N2O) in the process of simultaneous nitrifica-tion and denitrification via nitrite (short-cut SND) by aerobic granular sludge and the removal efficiency of nitrogen under low dissolved oxygen (DO). The results showed that short-cut SND occurred in this system, and the removal ef-ficiency of total nitrogen (TN) at C6H12O6 and CH3COONa were 28.93 % and 41.19 %, respectively. However, the production of N2O significantly increased when CH3COONa was used as a carbon source. In addition, the rate of N2O release when CH3COONa was a carbon source was 8.34 times the rate when C6H12O6 was the carbon source. With the increase of C/N, removal rate of TN and the efficiency of the short-cut SND were increased. The removal efficiency of TN at C/N=7:1 was 90.33%, which was 2.19 times at C/N=4:1. The percentage of short-cut SND at C/N=4:1 and C/N=7:1 were 87.47% and 95.97%, respectively. The release rate of N2O from the original 1.14 mg/(g • min) decreased to 0.10 mg/(g • min) after increased the C/N from 4:1 to 7:1.

Abstract In this study, biochar BC400 and BC700 were prepared, characterized and coupled with heterotrophic nitrification-aerobic denitrification (HNAD) strain Z03 for nitrogen removal experiments. The characterization results showed that BC700 has a higher specific surface area and a more complex multilayered pore structure, with increased aromatic condensation and higher crystallinity. BC400 and BC700 both have good redox activity, while BC400 has stronger electron donor capacities and BC700 owns better electron transfer properties. In addition, both BC400 and BC700 contain relatively high levels of dissolved organic carbon (DOC), reaching at 62.95 and 51.617mg/g respectively. BC400/BC700 coupled with strain Z03 can significantly improve the NH4+-N removal performance of low-temperature and low C/N wastewater compared with the control group. At a dosage of 4.0 g/L, the removal rate of NH4+-N reached to 95.16% (BC400 + Z03) and 84.37% (BC700 + Z03) within 72h, respectively. Higher than the sum of adsorption by BC400/BC700 (16.19%/18.85%) and microbial degradation (41.03%). Besides, the BC400 + BC700 + Z03 NH4+-N removal systems provide higher nitrogen removal efficiencies than BC400/BC700 + Z03 nitrogen removal systems. When the dosage (BC400 + BC700, mass ratio 5:1) reaches 3.0g/L, it can achieve more than 90% NH4+-N removal rate within 48h. The reasons for the promotion of biochar on microbial denitrification were analyzed as follows: 1) DOC can provide an additional carbon source for microorganisms; 2) biochar, as a pH buffer, can neutralize the acidity due to nitrification; 3) BC400 and BC700, as materials with good redox activity, may play a role in promoting the activity of electron transfer system and enzyme activity.
