Abstract:The activated sludge in conventional A2/O system is difficult to effectively treat aniline wastewater since it has unbalanced retention time and is easily subjected to the toxicity of pollutants. In this study, the acclimatized and immobilized bacteria were adopted to strengthen A2/O system. The removal performances of ammonia nitrogen (${\rm{NH}}_4^ + $-N), total nitrogen (TN), chemical oxygen demand (COD) by both the conventional and enhanced A2/O systems were studied, as well as the microbial response the system before and after the enhancement. The results showed that the nitrogen removal efficiency of the conventional A2/O system decreased significantly with the increase of aniline content in influent, TN removal rate decreased from 76.46% to 34.28% and ${\rm{NH}}_4^ + $-N removal rate decreased from 97.63% to 31.82%. After enhancement by immobilized bacteria, TN and ${\rm{NH}}_4^ + $-N removal rates were restored to 73.09% and 93.30%, respectively, and the A2/O system could effectively treat 60 mg·L?1 aniline simultaneously. The results of the microbial response in activated sludge indicated that the specific oxygen uptake rate (SOUR) and extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) increased significantly in the biologically enhanced A2/O system, suggesting that the sludge activity and the ability to defense toxic substance were improved. At the genus level, the relative abundance of bacteria, such as Zoogloea, Flavobacterium, Brevundimonas which possess nitrifying and denitrifying functions, increased after enhancement, and the nitrogen removal ability of the system was enhanced significantly. The enhanced A2/O with immobilized bacteria realized the effective treatment of aniline wastewater, which provided technical support for engineering applications. Key words:aniline wastewater/ A2/O/ bioaugmentation/ pollutant removal/ microbial response.
