Abstract :
A system consisting of a two-stage UASB and anoxic–oxic reactor was used to enhance COD and nitrogen removal from landfill leachate. To improve denitrification efficiency, the raw leachate with recycled final effluent was pumped into the first-stage UASB (UASB1) to carry out simultaneous denitrification and methanogenesis. The results over 180 d show that the maximum organic removal rate in UASB1 and UASB2 was 12.5 and 8.5 kg COD m−3 d−1 in the oxic zone of the A/O reactor, respectively. The COD and biochemical oxygen demand (BOD5) removal efficiency of the system was 80–92% and about 99%, respectively. Without controlling temperature (17–30 °C) and dissolved oxygen (0.5–4.0 mg L−1), the maximum NH4+-N removal rate was 0.68 kg NH4+-N m−3 d−1, and about 99% of NH4+-N removal was obtained by nearly complete nitritation. The 81–93% total nitrogen removal was obtained by complete denitrification in the UASB1 and in the anoxic zone of the A/O reactor. Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) analysis of the sludge samples from A/O reactor showed that ammonia oxidizing bacteria (AOB) consisted 4% of the eubacterium, while nitrite oxidizing bacteria (NOB) counted less than 0.2% of that. The study shows that the main factors achieving and maintaining nitritation are a proper range of free ammonia concentration obtained by dilution recycled final effluent that inhibits NOB but not AOB; effective control on aeration time by indication of “ammonia valley” on pH profile; and highly efficient denitrification and its reproducing alkalinity to result in pH above 8.5.
