Abstract:For the rapid cultivation of perchlorate reducing granular sludge, denitrifying granular sludge were used as the inoculating sludge. Through gradually reducing nitrate concentration and elevating perchlorate concentration in the influent, the perchlorate ($ {\rm{ClO}}_{\rm{4}}^{\rm{ - }}$) removal and granular sludge characteristics were investigated during the cultivation of perchlorate reducing granular sludge. The results showed that the well-formed perchlorate reducing granular sludge was successfully and rapidly obtained within 50 days, and the removal efficiency of $ {\rm{ClO}}_{\rm{4}}^{\rm{ - }}$ was over 96%. The mixed liquid suspended solids concentration (MLSS) and the volatile solid concentration (MLVSS) were 50.68 g·L?1 and 40.58 g·L?1, respectively. And the main diameter distributed at <0.60 mm and 1.00~2.00 mm. The gradual reduction of nitrate concentration in the influent could alleviate the toxicity of perchlorate to the microorganisms in granular sludge. This study provides a new method for the rapid cultivation of perchlorate reducing granular sludge, and the theoretical and practical reference for the future researches. Key words:perchlorate/ granular sludge/ sludge characteristics/ microbial community.
