[Characteristics and Performance of Embedded ANAMMOX Bacteria in Treating Saline Wastewater]

In order to improve the mechanical stability of the material, the embedded raw material combination was studied in the experiment, and seawater was added to optimize the performance of the material. The results indicated that the optimal material ratio was polyvinyl alcohol (PVA 125 g·L^-1)-alginate sodium (SA 20 g·L^-1)-activated carbon (40 g·L^-1). The curing time was 18 h. After adding seawater, the beads were found to have larger pore sizes inside, and the pores were distributed unevenly because of the Hofmeister effect. At the same time, the mechanical stability and biological capacity were found to be significantly higher than those of the fresh water group. The Raman spectra analysis showed that the addition of seawater made the-OH on PVA have greater crosslinking reactions with the crosslinker. The activated sludge was used to treat wastewater containing sea water, and after an operation of 21 d, the removal rate of NH₄⁺-N was about 90%, and the stoichiometric ratio of △NH₄⁺-N:△NO₂^--N:△NO₃^--N was stable at 1:(1.04±0.1):(0.17±0.02). From the 21st day to the 46th day, the reactor was run in a steady state. When the nitrogen load rate doubled, the ammonia nitrogen removal rate and stoichiometry had little variations. The total nitrogen removal rate was about 85%, and the total nitrogen removal load rate was 0.2 kg·(m³·d)^-1.
