Abstract:In order to explore the feasibility of pretreated landfill leachate (PLL) as an additional carbon source for the removal of high concentration nitrate nitrogen, SBR system R0 and R1 were established(R0: anhydrous sodium acetate carbon source; R1: PLL + anhydrous sodium acetate carbon source). Efficient denitrifying activated sludge was obtained through cultivation with the simulated high concentration nitrate nitrogen wastewater and PLL addition from anaerobic biofilter. Then its denitrification efficiency was investigated, and the molecular biological was also analyzed. The results showed that nitrate nitrogen could be almost completely removed within 2.5 hours in R1 system at PLL addition volume fraction of 10%, and the denitrification rate reached 58.05 mg·(g·h)?1, which was 1.79 times of R0. 16S rDNA sequencing showed that the microbial population structure of R0 and R1 reactors were comparatively similar. The dominant denitrifying bacteria in the first three abundances were pseudomonas, thauera and pannonibacter, but their relative abundances were different; The results of qPCR showed that the relative expression of denitrification genes narG, nirK, nirS and norB in experimental group R1 was significantly higher than that in control group R0. PLL as an additional carbon source could promote the sludge denitrification activity. Key words:pretreated landfill leachate/ high concentration nitrate/ denitrification/ microbial community structure.
