Achieving Ammonium Removal Through Anammox-Derived Feammox With Low Demand of Fe(III)

ABSTRACT: Feammox-based nitrogen removal technology can reduce energy consumption by aeration and emission of carbon dioxide. However, the huge theoretical demand for Fe(III) becomes a challenge for the further development of Feammox. This study investigated an anammox-derived Feammox process with an intermittent dosage of Fe2O3 and proposed a novel approach to reduce the Fe(III) consumption. The results showed that anammox genera Candidatus Brocadia and Candidatus Kuenenia in the seed anammox sludge significantly decreased after cultivation. The formation of N2 was the dominating pathway in Feammox while that of nitrite and nitrate could be neglected. Batch tests showed that specific Feammox activity of ammonium oxidation was 1.14–9.98 mg N/(g VSS·d). The maximum removal efficiency of ammonium reached 52.3% in the bioreactor with a low dosage of Fe(III) which was only 5.8% of the theoretical demand in Feammox. The removal of ammonium was mainly achieved through Feammox, while partial nitrification/anammox also played a role due to the non-power and unintentional oxygen leakage. The super-low oxygen also responded to the low demand of Fe(III) in the bioreactor because it could trigger the cycle of Fe(III)/Fe(II) by coupling Feammox and chemical oxidation of Fe(II) to Fe(III). Therefore, anammox-derived Feammox can achieve the removal of ammonium with low Fe(III) demand at super-low oxygen.

As(iii) removal through catalytic oxidation and Fe(iii) precipitation.

Project description:To remove arsenite (As(iii)) from wastewater effectively, the catalytic oxidation of As(iii) to arsenate (As(v)) and As(v) precipitation with iron ions (Fe(iii)) was investigated. The Pt/SiO2 catalyst functioned as a reaction site for As(iii) with oxygen in the atmosphere. The combination of the Pt/SiO2 catalyst and Fe(iii) precipitant improved the removal of As(iii) in the precipitate; Pt/SiO2 worked as both an As(iii) oxidation site and precipitation site with Fe(iii) precipitant.

Appropriate Fe (II) addition significantly enhances anaerobic ammonium oxidation (Anammox) activity through improving the bacterial growth rate.

Project description:The application of anaerobic ammonium oxidation (Anammox) process is often limited by the slow growth rate of Anammox bacteria. As the essential substrate element that required for culturing Anammox sludge, Fe (II) is expected to affect Anammox bacterial growth. This work systematically studied the effects of Fe (II) addition on Anammox activity based on the kinetic analysis of specific growth rate using data from batch tests with an enriched Anammox sludge at different dosing levels. Results clearly demonstrated that appropriate Fe (II) dosing (i.e., 0.09?mM) significantly enhanced the specific Anammox growth rate up to 0.172?d(-1) compared to 0.118?d(-1) at regular Fe (II) level (0.03?mM). The relationship between Fe (II) concentration and specific Anammox growth rate was found to be well described by typical substrate inhibition kinetics, which was integrated into currently well-established Anammox model to describe the enhanced Anammox growth with Fe (II) addition. The validity of the integrated Anammox model was verified using long-term experimental data from three independent Anammox reactors with different Fe (II) dosing levels. This Fe (II)-based approach could be potentially implemented to enhance the process rate for possible mainstream application of Anammox technology, in order for an energy autarchic wastewater treatment.

Anammox Bacteria Are Potentially Involved in Anaerobic Ammonium Oxidation Coupled to Iron(III) Reduction in the Wastewater Treatment System.

Project description:Anaerobic ammonium oxidation coupled to nitrite reduction (termed as Anammox) was demonstrated as an efficient pathway to remove nitrogen from a wastewater treatment system. Recently, anaerobic ammonium oxidation was also identified to be linked to iron(III) reduction (termed Feammox) with dinitrogen, nitrite, or nitrate as end-product, reporting to enhance nitrogen removal from the wastewater treatment system. However, little is known about the role of Anammox bacteria in the Feammox process. Here, slurry from wastewater reactor amended with ferrihydrite was employed to investigate activity of Anammox bacteria in the Feammox process using the 15N isotopic tracing technique combined with 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing. A significantly positive relationship between rates of 15N2 production and iron(III) reduction indicated the occurrence of Feammox during incubation. Relative abundances of Anammox bacteria including Brocadia, Kuenenia, Jettenia, and unclassified Brocadiaceae were detected with low relative abundances, whereas Geobacteraceae dominated in the treatment throughout the incubation. 15N2 production rates significantly positively correlated with relative abundances of Geobacter, unclassified Geobacteraceae, and Anammox bacteria, revealing their contribution to nitrogen generation via Feammox. Overall, these findings suggested Anammox bacteria or cooperation between Anammox bacteria and iron(III) reducers serves a potential role in Feammox process.

Ammonium-based aeration control improves nitrogen removal efficiency and reduces N<sub>2</sub>O emissions for partial nitritation-anammox reactors.

Project description:This study deals with the effect of aeration control strategies on the nitrogen removal efficiency and nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions in a partial nitritation-anammox reactor with granular sludge. More specifically, dissolved oxygen (DO) control, constant airflow and effluent ammonium (NH4+) control strategies were compared through a simulation study. Particular attention was paid to the effect of flocs, which are deliberately or unavoidable present besides granules in this type of reactor. When applying DO control, DO setpoints had to be adjusted to the amount of flocs present in the reactor to maintain high nitrogen removal and reduce N2O emissions, which is difficult to realize in practice because of variable floc fractions. Constant airflow rate control could maintain a good nitrogen removal efficiency independent of the floc fraction in the reactor, but failed in N2O mitigation. Controlling aeration based on the effluent ammonium concentration results in both high nitrogen removal and relatively low N2O emissions, also in the presence of flocs. Fluctuations in floc fractions caused significant upsets in nitrogen removal and N2O emissions under DO control but had less effect at constant airflow and effluent ammonium control. Still, rapid and sharp drops in flocs led to a peak in N2O emissions at constant airflow and effluent ammonium control. Overall, effluent ammonium control reached the highest average nitrogen removal and lowest N2O emissions and consumed the lowest aeration energy under fluctuating floc concentrations.

Effects of Fe(II) on anammox community activity and functional genes expression

Project description:Four Fe(II) concentrations (0.03, 0.09, 0.12 & 0.75 mM) were tested to investigate the stimulation and inhibition effects of ferrous iron on anammox bacterial activity. RNAs were extracted from the cultures, and the synthesized cDNAs by reverse transcription were used to carry out GeoChip analysis, by which the functional communities and expression level differences in functional genes under different Fe(II) concentrations conditions were obtained, and the response of anammox bacteria to Fe(II) stimulation and inhibition are speculated.

Anaerobic Bacterial Immobilization and Removal of Toxic Sb(III) Coupled With Fe(II)/Sb(III) Oxidation and Denitrification.

Project description:Antimony (Sb) pollution is a worldwide problem. In some anoxic sites, such as Sb mine drainage and groundwater sediment, the Sb concentration is extremely elevated. Therefore, effective Sb remediation strategies are urgently needed. In contrast to microbial aerobic antimonite [Sb(III)] oxidation, the mechanism of microbial anaerobic Sb(III) oxidation and the effects of nitrate and Fe(II) on the fate of Sb remain unknown. In this study, we discovered the mechanism of anaerobic Sb(III) oxidation coupled with Fe(II) oxidation and denitrification in the facultative anaerobic Sb(III) oxidizer Sinorhizobium sp. GW3. We observed the following: (1) under anoxic conditions with nitrate as the electron acceptor, strain GW3 was able to oxidize both Fe(II) and Sb(III) during cultivation; (2) in the presence of Fe(II), nitrate and Sb(III), the anaerobic Sb(III) oxidation rate was remarkably enhanced, and Fe(III)-containing minerals were produced during Fe(II) and Sb(III) oxidation; (3) qRT-PCR, gene knock-out and complementation analyses indicated that the arsenite oxidase gene product AioA plays an important role in anaerobic Sb(III) oxidation, in contrast to aerobic Sb(III) oxidation; and (4) energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and powder X-ray diffraction (XRD) analyses revealed that the microbially produced Fe(III) minerals were an effective chemical oxidant responsible for abiotic anaerobic Sb(III) oxidation, and the generated Sb(V) was adsorbed or coprecipitated on the Fe(III) minerals. This process included biotic and abiotic factors, which efficiently immobilize and remove soluble Sb(III) under anoxic conditions. The findings revealed a significantly novel development for understanding the biogeochemical Sb cycle. Microbial Sb(III) and Fe(II) oxidation coupled with denitrification has great potential for bioremediation in anoxic Sb-contaminated environments.

Advances in methods for detection of anaerobic ammonium oxidizing (anammox) bacteria.

Project description:Anaerobic ammonium oxidation (anammox), the biochemical process oxidizing ammonium into dinitrogen gas using nitrite as an electron acceptor, has only been recognized for its significant role in the global nitrogen cycle not long ago, and its ubiquitous distribution in a wide range of environments has changed our knowledge about the contributors to the global nitrogen cycle. Currently, several groups of methods are used in detection of anammox bacteria based on their physiological and biochemical characteristics, cellular chemical composition, and both 16S rRNA gene and selective functional genes as biomarkers, including hydrazine oxidoreductase and nitrite reductase encoding genes hzo and nirS, respectively. Results from these methods coupling with advances in quantitative PCR, reverse transcription of mRNA genes and stable isotope labeling have improved our understanding on the distribution, diversity, and activity of anammox bacteria in different environments both natural and engineered ones. In this review, we summarize these methods used in detection of anammox bacteria from various environments, highlight the strengths and weakness of these methods, and also discuss the new development potentials on the existing and new techniques in the future.

Nitrate-dependent ferrous iron oxidation by anaerobic ammonium oxidation (anammox) bacteria.

Project description:We examined nitrate-dependent Fe(2+) oxidation mediated by anaerobic ammonium oxidation (anammox) bacteria. Enrichment cultures of "Candidatus Brocadia sinica" anaerobically oxidized Fe(2+) and reduced NO3(-) to nitrogen gas at rates of 3.7 ± 0.2 and 1.3 ± 0.1 (mean ± standard deviation [SD]) nmol mg protein(-1) min(-1), respectively (37°C and pH 7.3). This nitrate reduction rate is an order of magnitude lower than the anammox activity of "Ca. Brocadia sinica" (10 to 75 nmol NH4(+) mg protein(-1) min(-1)). A (15)N tracer experiment demonstrated that coupling of nitrate-dependent Fe(2+) oxidation and the anammox reaction was responsible for producing nitrogen gas from NO3(-) by "Ca. Brocadia sinica." The activities of nitrate-dependent Fe(2+) oxidation were dependent on temperature and pH, and the highest activities were seen at temperatures of 30 to 45°C and pHs ranging from 5.9 to 9.8. The mean half-saturation constant for NO3(-) ± SD of "Ca. Brocadia sinica" was determined to be 51 ± 21 ?M. Nitrate-dependent Fe(2+) oxidation was further demonstrated by another anammox bacterium, "Candidatus Scalindua sp.," whose rates of Fe(2+) oxidation and NO3(-) reduction were 4.7 ± 0.59 and 1.45 ± 0.05 nmol mg protein(-1) min(-1), respectively (20°C and pH 7.3). Co-occurrence of nitrate-dependent Fe(2+) oxidation and the anammox reaction decreased the molar ratios of consumed NO2(-) to consumed NH4(+) (?NO2(-)/?NH4(+)) and produced NO3(-) to consumed NH4(+) (?NO3(-)/?NH4(+)). These reactions are preferable to the application of anammox processes for wastewater treatment.

Extracellular electron transfer-dependent anaerobic oxidation of ammonium by anammox bacteria.

Project description:Anaerobic ammonium oxidation (anammox) bacteria contribute significantly to the global nitrogen cycle and play a major role in sustainable wastewater treatment. Anammox bacteria convert ammonium (NH4+) to dinitrogen gas (N2) using intracellular electron acceptors such as nitrite (NO2-) or nitric oxide (NO). However, it is still unknown whether anammox bacteria have extracellular electron transfer (EET) capability with transfer of electrons to insoluble extracellular electron acceptors. Here we show that freshwater and marine anammox bacteria couple the oxidation of NH4+ with transfer of electrons to insoluble extracellular electron acceptors such as graphene oxide or electrodes in microbial electrolysis cells. 15N-labeling experiments revealed that NH4+ was oxidized to N2 via hydroxylamine (NH2OH) as intermediate, and comparative transcriptomics analysis revealed an alternative pathway for NH4+ oxidation with electrode as electron acceptor. Complete NH4+ oxidation to N2 without accumulation of NO2- and NO3- was achieved in EET-dependent anammox. These findings are promising in the context of implementing EET-dependent anammox process for energy-efficient treatment of nitrogen.
