Abstract:
To investigate methods for improving the simultaneous partial nitrification-anammox and denitrification (SNAD) process for landfill leachate treatment, this study prepared a biochar/nano zerovalent iron modified polyurethane biocarrier (BZPU), which was confirmed to have excellent nitrogen adsorption capacity. The BZPUfilled carrier biospheres were used as carrier filler in a biological aerated filter biofilm reactor (BAFBZPU), operated in parallel with a control reactor (BAFPU) under continuous influent conditions for 207 days to treat landfill leachate and successfully establish the SNAD process. The BAFBZPU achieved a nitrogen removal rate (NRR) of 0.76 kg N/(m3-d) and a total nitrogen removal rate (TNRE) of 92.0 %, which were 7.43 % and 4.53 % higher than that of the control group, respectively. Additionally, BAFBZPU showed faster start-up speed, better resistance to shock loading, and a lower protein/polysaccharide (PN/PS) ratio, further indicating a superior biofilm structure. The modified biocarrier also exhibited excellent nitrogen adsorption capacity, creating a favorable substrate microenvironment. The introduction of iron significantly promoted both anammox and denitrification processes, leading to the enrichment of related microbial strains and the acceleration of nitrogen conversion, which in turn significantly enhanced the overall SNAD process and nitrogen removal rate. The rational use of BZPU as a biocarrier can enhance the cost-effectiveness of the SNAD process and provide a new perspective for the treatment of landfill leachate.
