摘要: The nitrite accumulation in the denitrification process is investigated with sequencing batch reactor(SBR) treating pre-treated landfill leachate in anoxic/anaerobic up-flow anaerobic sludge bed(UASB).Nitrite accumulates obviously at different initial nitrate concentrations(64.9,54.8,49.3 and 29.5 mg·L-1) and low temperatures,and the two break points on the oxidation-reduction potential(ORP) profile indicate the completion of nitrate and nitrite reduction.Usually,the nitrate reduction rate is used as the sole parameter to characterize the denitrification rate,and nitrite is not even measured.For accuracy,the total oxidized nitrogen(nitrate + nitrite) is used as a measure,though details characterizing the process may be overlooked.Additionally,batch tests are conducted to investigate the effects of C/N ratios and types of carbon sources on the nitrite accumulation during the denitrification.It is observed that carbon source is sufficient for the reduction of nitrate to nitrite,but for further reduction of nitrite to nitrogen gas,is deficient when C/N is below the theoretical critical level of 3.75 based on the stoichiometry of denitrification.Five carbon sources used in this work,except for glucose,may cause the nitrite accumulation.From experimental results and cited literature,it is concluded that Alcaligene species may be contained in the SBR activated-sludge system.
