Abstract:The effect of substrate concentration on the efficiency of partial denitrifying phosphorus removal in an anaerobic baffled reactor-membrane bioreactor (ABR-MBR) system treating low C/N domestic wastewater was investigated. Results showed that at a constant C/N/P value, the gradual increase of the substrate concentration resulted in the ABR volume loading rates (VLR) as follows: 1.02, 1.53, 2.04 and 2.55 kg·(m3·d)?1, which corresponded to the operating conditions A, B, C and D, respectively. In the MBR, free ammonia (FA) was used to selectively inhibit nitrite oxidizing bacteria (NOBs), and then ammonia oxidizing bacterias (AOBs) gradually became the dominant flora, and the nitrite accumulation rate (NAR) stably reached 61.7%. By gradually domesticating the tolerance of DPBs to ${\rm{NO}}_2^ - $-N, the synergistic effects of different microorganisms occurred and the stable running of the system was optimized. At the ABR volume load rate of 2.55 kg·(m3·d)?1, the free nitrous acid (FNA) of 0.001 3 mg·L?1 had a serious inhibitory effect on DPBs, and minimized the phosphorus absorption effect. Key words:denitrifying phosphorus removal/ substrate concentration/ free nitrous acid/ free ammonia/ nitrite accumulation rate.
