Abstract:
Achieving stable and high-rate partial nitrification (PN) remains a worldwide technical conundrum in lowstrength mainstream conditions. This study successfully achieved ultrarapid mainstream PN within 8 days under a saturated dissolved oxygen (DO) supply strategy, reaching a record-breaking PN rate of over 1.0 kg N m(- 3) d(- 1) treating municipal wastewater. Stable PN was maintained for over 200 days with an ultrahigh nitrite accumulation ratio of 98.5 +/- 0.9 %, resilient to seasonal fluctuations in temperature (16.0-25.6 degrees C) and load (NH4+-N, 40-80 mg N/L). Kinetics revealed a remarkable 159.1-fold increase in the maximum activity ratio of ammonia-oxidizing bacteria (AOB) to nitrite-oxidizing bacteria (NOB). The faster response of AOB to saturated DO stimulated its highest activity difference with NOB, contributing to the AOB (Nitrosomonas oligotropha) boom and the elimination of NOB groups (-99.9 %). Our results highlight the importance of promoting AOB rather than solely focusing on NOB suppression for initiating and stabilizing high-rate mainstream PN.
