Abstract:As an intermediate product in completely autotrophic nitrogen removal over nitrite (CANON) process, hydroxylamine (NH2OH) may have a great effect on CANON process. A batch experiment was carried out by using a moving-bed biofilm reactor (MBBR) with stable operation to study the effect of NH2OH concentration on the short-cut nitrification and nitrogen removal performance of CANON process. The influent ${\rm{NH}}_4^ + $-N concentration was controlled at 230 mg·L?1, and the concentrations of NH2OH addition were 0, 5, 20, and 80 mg·L?1, respectively. The results showed that the higher the concentration of NH2OH, the more beneficial to the inhibition of nitrite oxidizing bacteria (NOB) in CANON process. When the NH2OH concentration was less than or equal to 20 mg·L?1, the increase of the concentration of NH2OH was beneficial to the increase of ${\rm{NH}}_4^ + $-N degradation rate. When the NH2OH concentration was 20 mg·L?1, the degradation rate of ${\rm{NH}}_4^ + $-N increased by 29.4 %. In the view of the total nitrogen removal effect, the addition of NH2OH could increase the nitrogen removal performance of CANON process, and the concentration of NH2OH addition could be controlled at 5 mg·L?1. Key words:NH2OH/ CANON process/ short-cut nitrification/ nitrogen removal performance/ AOB/ NOB.
