Abstract
The removal of nitrogen via the ANAMMOX process is a promising green wastewater treatment technology, with numerous benefits. The incessant studies on the ANAMMOX process over the years due to its long start-up and high operational cost has positively influenced its technological advancement, even though at a rather slow pace. At the moment, relatively new ANAMMOX technologies are being developed with the goal of treating low carbon wastewater at low temperatures, tackling nitrite and nitrate accumulation and methane utilization from digestates while also recovering resources (phosphorus) in a sustainable manner. This review compares and contrasts the handful of ANAMMOX -based processes developed thus far with plausible solutions for addressing their respective bottlenecks hindering full-scale implementation. Ultimately, future prospects for advancing understanding of mechanisms and engineering application of ANAMMOX process are posited. As a whole, technological advances in process design and patents have greatly contributed to better understanding of the ANAMMOX process, which has greatly aided in the optimization and industrialization of the ANAMMOX process. This review is intended to provide researchers with an overview of the present state of research and technological development of the ANAMMOX process, thus serving as a guide for realizing energy autarkic future practical applications.

Abstract
The response characteristic and performance stabilization of anammox process under the stress of the potential organic pollutants support the application of ammonia-nitrogen wastewater treatment. In the present study, nitrogen removal performance was significantly suppressed with the addition of 4-chlorophenol. The activity of anammox process was inhibited by 14.23% (0.1 mg/L), 20.54% (1 mg/L) and 78.15% (10 mg/L), respectively. Metagenomic analysis revealed a significant decrease in the abundance of KEGG pathways associated with carbohydrate and amino acid metabolism with increasing 4-chlorophenol concentration. Metabolic pathway profiles suggest that putrescine is down-regulated at high 4-chlorophenol stress due to inhibition of nitrogen metabolism processes, while it is up-regulated to reduce oxidative damage. In addition, the presence of 4-chlorophenol induced an enhancement of EPS and bacterial debris decomposition, and a partial conversion of 4-chlorophenol to p-nitrophenol. This study unravels the mechanism of effect on anammox consortia in response to 4-CP, which could provide supplementary to facilitate its full-scale application.

Nitrogen removal from mature landfill leachate through enhanced Partial Nitrification-Anammox process in an innovative multi-stage fixed biofilm reactor. THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2023; 877:162959. [PMID: 36948321 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2023.162959] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/05/2023] [Revised: 03/08/2023] [Accepted: 03/15/2023] [Indexed: 05/06/2023]
Abstract
In the current integrated PN/A method/process for mature landfill leachate treatment, microbial inhibition and low nitrogen removal capacity are the big barriers due to high ammonia concentration and low C/N. This study aimed to evaluate the performance of a high-rate nitrogen removal lab-scale reactor, which combines pre-denitrification and Partial Nitrification-Anammox (PN/A) in a multi-stage fixed biofilm reactor (MFBR), for mature landfill leachate treatment. A nitrogen removal efficiency (NRE) of 90.43 % and an average nitrogen removal rate (NRR) of 0.94 kg/m3·d were observed at an influent NH+ 4-N concentration of 2274.39 mg/L during the last operational phase. The nitrogen mass balance showed that the nitrogen concentration gradually decreases along the course, and nitrogen was mainly removed in the aerobic chambers, in which Anammox contributed to 86.4 % of the removed nitrogen, while the front anoxic chamber is mainly used to remove NO- 3-N from the recirculation. Redundancy analysis showed that the variation in NH+ 4-N concentration along the course was the main factor affecting microbial community succession, which shows that the reactor configuration enables efficient cooperation and distribution of different microorganisms. Moreover, economic analysis of MFBR process showed that the energy consumption and carbon addition were reduced by 58.9 % and 100 %, respectively. Therefore, the MFBR established in this study, with its new configuration, achieves efficient treatment of landfill leachate in a single reactor and is environmentally friendly, and could be considered as a reference for full-scale landfill leachate treatment.

Abstract
The potential risks of anti-cancer drugs such as capecitabine have attracted considerable attention due to their continuous release. Understanding the response of removal performance and protective mechanism to the presence of emerging contaminants is crucial for the application of anammox techniques in wastewater treatment. Capecitabine affected the nitrogen removal performance slightly in the activity experiment. Due to bio-adsorption and biodegradation, up to 64-70% of the capecitabine can be removed effectively. However, 10 mg/L of capecitabine significantly decreased the removal efficiency of capecitabine and total nitrogen at repeated load of capecitabine. Metabolomic analysis revealed the metabolites 5'-deoxy-5-fluorocytidine and alpha-fluoro-beta-alanine, while metagenomic analysis confirmed the biodegradation pathway and underlying gene distribution. The potentially protective mechanisms of the system against capecitabine were the increased heterotrophic bacteria and secretion of sialic acid. Blast analysis confirmed the presence of potential genes involved in the complete biosynthesis pathway of sialic acid in anammox bacteria, some of which are also found in Nitrosomonas, Thauera, and Candidatus Promineofilum.

Starting-up performances and microbial community shifts in the coupling process (SAPD-A) with sulfide autotrophic partial denitrification (SAPD) and anammox treating nitrate and ammonium contained wastewater. JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT 2023; 331:117298. [PMID: 36669311 DOI: 10.1016/j.jenvman.2023.117298] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/06/2022] [Revised: 01/11/2023] [Accepted: 01/11/2023] [Indexed: 06/17/2023]
Abstract
A novel coupling process (SAPD-A) with sulfide autotrophic partial denitrification (SAPD) (NO3--N→NO2--N) and anaerobic ammonium oxidation (Anammox) was developed using anaerobic sequencing batch reactor (ASBR) in this work. The integrated process comprised two stages. Firstly, the starting-up of SAPD process succeeded by gradually increasing the influent nitrate and sulfide in 95 days. The average nitrate removal efficiency (NRE) and NO2--N accumulation rates were 71.24% ± 0.21% and 46.44% ± 0.53% at SAPD process (days 75-95). Then, successful coupling process (SAPD-A) was implemented in two stages (stage I and stage II of SAPD-A). In stage I, it is feasible to promote the successful construction of SAPD-A process by elevating influent ammonium only based on SAPD system, making the NRE increased from 44.45% ± 0.46% (day 95) to 64.62% ± 0.12% at the end of stage I in SAPD-A system (day 126). Meanwhile, the ammonium nitrogen removal efficiency (ARE) and total nitrogen removal efficiency (TN-RE) also rose up to 42.46% ± 2.02% and 63.28% ± 0.54% respectively. Furthermore, the average ARE, NRE and TN-RE during the stage II in the bioreactor could reach 65.17% ± 1.45%, 74.50% ± 0.81% and 77.81% ± 0.37% by loading some biofilters (with of approximate 10% of the volume of the bioreactor) attached anaerobic ammonium oxidation bacteria (AnAOB). High-throughput sequencing results showed that the dominant genera concerning nitrogen removal were norank_f_norank_o_Fimbriimonadates (with the abundance of 2.88-8.54%), norank_ o_ norank _ c_ OM190 (2.48-4.41%), norank_f_norank_o_norank_c_WWE3 (11.01-17.69%), subgroup_10 (1.97-3.81%), Limnobacter(2.17-3.49%), norank_f_n orank_ o_norank_ c_OLB14 (2.03-5.23%), norank-f-PHOS-HE36 (2.18-5.5%), Ellin6067 (1.34-2.24%) and Candidatus_ Brocadia (1.95-2.42%) during the whole starting-up period of coupling SAPD-A process. Batch experiments revealed that the sulfide was fully oxidized within 2 h, with the maximum reaction rate of 38.30 ± 1.53 mg (L h)-1 in the first 1 h. Simultaneously, the concentration of nitrate sharply decreased from 53.08 ± 0.23 mg L-1 to 24.16 ± 0.42 mg L-1 with the reaction rate of 66.41 ± 2.12 mg (L h)-1 in 0.5 h. Also, the ammonium concentration significantly declined from 47.88 ± 0.34 mg L-1 to 10.98 ± 0.39 mg L-1 in 8 h. Anammox process was responsible for the dominant nitrogen removal in the coupling SAPD-A system.

Abstract
Membrane fouling has been a key factor limiting the applications of membrane bioreactor (MBR). In this study, a novel umbrella-shape membrane module was applied to construct two MBRs for two-stage partial nitrification-anaerobic ammonia oxidation (PN-ANAMMOX) process. After 55 days operation, the ANAMMOX process was started and the PN process was well controlled. Then, the ANAMMOX and PN process were successfully coupled to run the PN-ANAMMOX process. On 103 days, the best nitrogen removing effect was achieved with the maximum nitrogen loading rate (NLR) of 0.4 kg N·(m3·d)-1 and the corresponding maximum total nitrogen removal rate (TNRR) of 75.23%. The umbrella-shape membrane module in both reactors only needed to be cleaned once during the operation for 105 days, indicating that the membrane module had better resistance to membrane fouling. The functional bacteria were cultivated in suspension state; moreover, the cell densities of ammonia oxidizing bacteria (AOB) and ANAMMOX bacteria (AnAOB) reached 58.32 × 1012 copies/g sludge and 28.39 × 1012 copies/g sludge. Their abundances reached 73.25% and 57.80% of the total bacteria, respectively. MBR improved by umbrella-shape membrane module could realize the rapid start-up of ANAMMOX process, effective control of PN process, and stable operation of PN-ANAMMOX process. This study provided a novel approach to control membrane fouling by optimizing the membrane module shape and widened applications of MBRs in PN-ANAMMOX process.

Dynamic calibration of process-wide partial-nitritation modeling with airlift granular for nitrogen removal in a full-scale wastewater treatment plant. CHEMOSPHERE 2022; 305:135411.

Abstract
A main challenge in rapid nitrogen removal from rejected water in wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) is growth of biomass by nitrite-oxidizing bacteria (NOB) and ammonia-oxidizing bacteria (AOB). In this study, partial nitritation (PN) coupled with air-lift granular unit (AGU) technology was applied to enhance nitrogen-removal efficiency in WWTPs. For successful PN process at high-nitrogen-influent conditions, a pH of 7.5-8 for high free-ammonia concentrations and AOB for growth of total bacterial populations are required. The PN process in a sequential batch reactor (SBR) with AGU was modeled as an activated sludge model (ASM), and dynamic calibration using full-scale plant data was performed to enhance aeration in the reactor and improve the nitrite-to-ammonia ratio in the PN effluent. In steady-state and dynamic calibrations, the measured and modeled values of the output were in close agreement. Sensitivity analysis revealed that the kinetic and stoichiometric parameters are associated with growth and decay of heterotrophs, AOB, and NOB microorganisms. Overall, 80% of the calibrated data fit the measured data. Stage 1 of the dynamic calibration showed NO2 and NO3 values close to 240 mg/L and 100 mg/L, respectively. Stage 2 showed NH4 values of 200 mg/L at day 30 with the calibrated effluent NO2 and NO3 value of 250 mg/L. In stage 3, effluent NH4 concentration was 200 mg/L at day 60.

Abstract
The rapid start-up and operating characteristics of simultaneous partial nitrification, anammox, and denitrification (SNAD) process was investigated using synthetic wastewater with a low C/N ratio (COD: NH4+-N = 200 mg/L: 200 mg/L) in a novel upflow microaerobic membrane bioreactor (UMMBR). The average removal efficiencies of COD, NH4+-N, and TN in the stable phase were 89%, 96%, and 86%, respectively. Carmine granule, which coexisted with sludge floc, appeared on day 83. The high sludge concentration (12.9-17.2 g/L) and the upflow mode of the UMMBR could establish some anaerobicregions for anammox process. The anammox bacteria and short-cut denitrification (NO2-→N2) bacteria with activities of 4.46 mg NH4+-N/gVSS·h and 2.57 mg NO2--N/gVSS·h contributed TN removal of 39% and 61% on day 129, respectively. High-throughput sequencing analysis revealed that the ammonia-oxidizing archaea (AOA, 49.45% in granule and 17.05% in sludge floc) and ammonia-oxidizing bacterial (AOB, 1.30% in sludge floc) dominated the nitrifying microbial community. Candidatus Jettenia (47.14%) and Denitratisoma (10.92%) mainly existed in granule with positive correlations. Some heterotrophic bacteria (OLB13, SJA-15, 1-20, SBR1031, and SJA-28) in sludge floc benefited system stability and sludge activity and protected Candidatus Jettenia from adverse environments.

Abstract
A large amount of ammoniacal nitrogen wastewater discharged into the water body not only causes eutrophication and black and offensive odor in water, but also increases the difficulty and cost of water treatment, and even produces toxic effects on people and organisms. In this paper, degradation of ammoniacal nitrogen wastewater by the system of ultrasound/Mg/Al2O3/ozone (US/Mg/Al2O3/O3) was carried out. The effects of different influencing factors, such as initial pH of the solution, reaction time, temperature, catalyst addition, ozone flow rate, and ultrasonic intensity, on the degradation of ammoniacal nitrogen wastewater were investigated. The optimum reaction conditions were determined. The combination of ultrasonic technology and ozone oxidation technology can enhance the mass transfer of ozone and generate a large amount of HO. Due to Mg/Al2O3 catalyst has large surface area, the number of reactive sites and reaction molecule transport channels per unit area increases, resulting in the increase of HO on the surface, thus improving the catalytic activity. The introduction of ultrasound promotes the cleavage of N-H bonds on the catalyst surface, thereby promoting the degradation of ammoniacal nitrogen in the water. Results prove that there is not only a synergistic effect between ultrasound and catalytic ozone oxidation, but a strengthening effect of ultrasound on catalytic ozone oxidation. The research carried out in this paper provides a theoretical basis for the degradation of ammoniacal nitrogen in water.

THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2022; 804:149965. [PMID: 34508937 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2021.149965] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/16/2021] [Revised: 08/21/2021] [Accepted: 08/23/2021] [Indexed: 06/13/2023]
Abstract
Ammonium removal in wastewater treatment plants demands large quantities energy input, such as aeration for wastewater and the addition of organics for nitrate reduction. Anaerobic ammonium oxidation coupled to Fe(III) reduction, called Feammox process play a crucial role in natural nitrogen cycle, which has been rarely investigated in the field of wastewater treatment. Besides, Iron-reducing bacteria (FeRB) as function bacteria of Feammox could transfer electrons to iron oxide by oxidizing organics. The possibility of anaerobic ammonium removal coupled with organics should be investigated to assess the potential of Feammox process for conventional wastewater treatment. In this study, five Fe(III) compounds, Fe2O3, Fe3O4, Fe(OH)3, Citrate-Fe and pyrite were supplemented to investigate the effect of iron oxides on ammonium removal in serum bottles with working volume of 100 mL. It was found that ammonium removal efficiency of the Fe2O3 group was the highest. To simulate wastewater treatment process in sewage treatment plant, three Up-flow anaerobic sludge blanket reactors with volume of 250 mL adding Fe2O3 were applied with influent of ammonium and carbon sources. It was found that the organics significantly inhibited the ammonium removal by Feammox process. This was attributed to that carbon sources and ammonium could be used as electron donors for Fe(III) reduction. In addition, this nitrogen removal was also likely related with the iron cycle, i.e., Fe(III) reduction with ammonium oxidation and Fe(II) oxidation with nitrate/nitrite reduction. This study provides a promising alternative technology for anaerobic ammonium removal in wastewater treatment. Optimizing nitrogen removal and carbon sources applied in conventional wastewater plants are required in future.

Abstract
In this study, anaerobic co-landfilling of municipal solid waste (MSW) and sugar mill pressmud (PM) was performed in four different proportions [PM:MSW] viz. 0:1 (control: BR1), 1:3 (BR2), 1:1 (BR3) and 3:1 (BR4). Efficacy assessment of Dry tomb - Bioreactor landfill (DTLF - BRLF) operation was carried out through leachate characterization and biomethane production. Leachate recirculation as a part of bioreactor operation after 194th day onwards showed promising degradation of co-wastes. Moreover, leachate decontamination and methane production were reliant on co-disposal proportions of PM and MSW. Maximum biomethane generation of 46.355L was obtained in landfill lysimeter BR3 followed by BR4 (34.680L), BR2 (24.275L) and BR1 (12.850L). Both logistic function and Gompertz growth models showed efficient fitting (R2 > 0.99) for observed methane production. This research could be a baseline study for selective operation of combined dry tomb and bioreactor landfilling at full scale in co-disposal scenarios.

Abstract
The study aims to investigate the feasibility of anaerobic co-landfilling of effluent treatment plant sludge (ETPS) from paper mill and municipal solid waste (MSW) in prismoidal shaped simulated anaerobic landfill bioreactors. Both ETPS and MSW were co-disposed in 0:100 (R1), 25:75 (R2), 50:50 (R3) and 75:25 (R4) ratios. Periodic assessments of leachate characteristics and biomethane production were carried out for 300 days. ETPS co-disposal with MSW showed considerable reduction in biochemical oxygen demand of leachate (R2: 95.9%, R3: 97.5% and R4: 93.2%). Moreover, cumulative methane gas generations were 2.974, 6.085 and 4.653 times more in R2, R3 and R4 bioreactors as compared to R1. Gompertz growth model was found in well-fitting for methane generation with the observed data. Correlogram plotted among leachate parameters exhibited exclusive relationships and justified leachate trends. This simulation of co-landfilling could be baseline study for the implementation of technology at pilot scale.

Abstract
Cigarette butt is known as hazardous waste with numerous toxic and carcinogenic pollutants which impose serious concern for both the environment and human. Heavy metals are recognized as the most common pollutant in the cigarette butts. The concentration of some heavy metals (cadmium, chromium, nickel, lead and zinc) in leachate obtained from the pilot landfill with commingled waste and freshly smoked cigarettes butts were analyzed. The results showed that the addition of 0.76% (in weight) freshly smoked cigarette butts in landfilled waste increased total heavy metal concentration by 4.8%, while addition of 1.3% (in weight) freshly smoked cigarette butts leads to increased 3.72% of total heavy metals concentrations. An increased 10.52% and 3.43% health risk values were found from the leachate of the landfill pilot, where 1% freshly smoked cigarette butt and a littered cigarette were added, respectively. Overall, it can be concluded that cigarette butt landfilling is not recommended for management of this type of waste and is necessary to be replaced with less hazardous ways such as recycling.

Abstract
Excess nitrogenous compounds in municipal or industrial wastewaters can stimulate growth of denitrifying bacteria, in return, to convert potentially hazardous nitrate to inorganic nitrogen gas. To explore the community structure, distributions and succession of functional strains, and their interactions with other microbial communities, contemporary studies were performed based on detailed genomic analysis. This mini-review updated contemporary genomic studies on denitrifying genes in natural and engineered aquatic systems, with the constructed wetlands being the demonstrative system for the latter. Prospects for the employment of genomic studies on denitrifying systems for process design, optimization and development of novel denitrifying processes were discussed.

Abstract
Anaerobic landfill process is still believed to be a complex ecosystem due to the lack of knowledge on the functional activities of microbial species. This research sought to introduce a novel landfill bioreactor, named here as the alternate layer bioreactor landfill (ALBL) of fresh MSW (FW) and stabilized waste (CT) to avoid inhibitory conditions for the microbial species in anaerobic landfill. The stabilized waste layer in the bottom of landfill cell significantly changed microbial ecology of fresh MSW which in turn reduced the concentrations of NH4-N (29-31%) and VFAs (33-38%) in the ALBL approach, compared to fresh MSW disposal in sanitary landfill. The reduction of NH4-N favored early onset of methanogenesis within 6 weeks and methane (CH4) content of landfill gas increased from 11% to 40-50% (v/v), owing to the coexistence of Methanosarcinales (36-50%) and Methanomicrobiales (26-28%) archaea. The acetoclastic methanogenesis was achieved by reducing NH4-N toxicity in the ALBL.

Abstract
Ammonium-nitrogen (NH4+-N) recovery from high concentration of NH4+-N-containing wastewater by struvite (MgNH4PO4·6H2O, MAP) precipitation method has been realized, but whether NH4+-N recovery under different reagent adding sequence of NaOH, solid Mg salt and P salt can generate different effects, remains ambiguous. In view of the problem, four modes to add reagents were investigated in detail on the formation of struvite. The results show that the Mode IV (M-IV, i.e. using 50% NH4+-N wastewater to dissolve completely the Mg salt and the P salt, respectively and then simultaneously poured into a beaker to mix the solution evenly and adjust the pH to 9.5.) has the highest NH4+-N recovery efficiency (90.80%) and the maximum mass of precipitates (896 mg) because of the more amount of alkali and initial seed formation. From the morphology of the obtained precipitates, it can be seen that sample M-IV is more loose and porous than the others. XRD patterns show that the four products under the different modes basically agree with the standard MAP.

Abstract
Many studies have sought to optimize operation parameters and enhance the treatment capacity of bioreactor landfills (BL) under ideal laboratory conditions. At pilot scale, conclusions drawn from laboratory-scale experiments will be different due to variations in actual landfill composition and changes in environmental conditions. However, comparative pilot-scale studies of traditional anaerobic landfills (AnL) and BLs are rare. In this study, three pilot-scale landfills, including an AnL, anaerobic BL (AnBL) and semi-aerobic BL (SABL), were monitored to examine the difference in performance at different scales and among types of landfills. Settlement amount followed the order SABL (25.45 cm) > AnBL (18.67 cm) > AnL (14.38 cm). Decomposition of organic matter (i.e., volatile fatty acids) was more rapid in SABL than in the other landfills and no hydrolytic acidification period was observed. Therefore, among the three landfills, SABL entered the methanogenic stage in a much shorter time and MSW stabilization was accelerated due to this landfill's unique combination of aerobic-anoxic-anaerobic ambient. In addition, NH4+-N concentration in leachate from the SABL (~19.96 mg/L) was substantially lower than from AnL (338.28 mg/L) and AnBL (233.22 mg/L), and SABL leachate exhibited the least chloride pollution risk. This study provides theoretical support and strong evidence for using SABLs to treat MSW in practical applications.

Abstract
High-loaded ammonia and low-strength organics mature landfill leachate is not effectively treated by conventional biological processes. Herein, an innovative solution was proposed using a three-stage Simultaneous Ammonium oxidation Denitrifying (SAD) process. Firstly, ammonia (1760 ± 126 mg N/L) in wastewater was oxidized to nitrite in a partial nitrification sequencing batch reactor (PN-SBR). Next, 93% PN-SBR effluent and concentrated external waste activated sludge (WAS; MLSS = 23057 ± 6014 mg/L) were introduced to an anoxic reactor for integrated fermentation and denitrification (IFD-SBR). Finally, ammonia (101.4 ± 13.8 mg N/L) released by fermentation in the IFD-SBR and residual 7% nitrite in the PN-SBR were removed through the anaerobic ammonium oxidation (anammox) process in the SAD up-flow anaerobic sludge bed (SAD-UASB). In addition, NO3--N generation during the anammox process could be reduced to nitrite by partial denitrification (PD) and reused as substrate for anammox. A satisfactory total nitrogen (TN) removal efficiency (98.3%), external sludge reduction rate (2.5 kg/m3 d) and effluent TN concentration (16.7 mg/L) were achieved after long-term operation (280 days). The IFD-SBR and SAD-UASB contributed to 81.9% and 12.3% nitrogen removal, respectively. Microbial analysis showed that anammox bacteria (1.5% Candidatus Brocadia) cooperated well with partial denitrifying bacteria (4.3% Thauera) in SAD-UASB, and average nitrogen removal contribution were 83.1% during significant stability of anammox and 9.2% during the denitrification process, respectively. The three-stage SAD process provides an environmental and economic approach for landfill leachate treatment since it has the advantage of 25.4% less oxygen, 100% organic matter savings and 47.9% less external sludge than traditional biological processes.

Abstract
A novel continuous-flow combined process of partial nitrification, Anammox (PN/A) and partial denitrification-Anammox (PD/A) was established to achieve enhanced nitrogen removal from landfill leachate. The NH4+-N transformation rate and NO2--N accumulation rate in the PN reactor reached 93.4% and 91.5%, respectively. The nitrite generated from the PN reactor was combined with influent (38%) and fed into the Anammox reactor. The nitrate produced in the Anammox reactor was then discharged to PD/A reactor, where nitrate was transformed to nitrite and removed via Anammox. Under a COD/NO3--N ratio of 4.0, the NO3--N-to-NO2--N transformation ratio (NTR) and Anammox contribution rate reached 60.4% and 57.1% in PD/A reactor. The final effluent TN concentration was 15.7 mg/L, and the efficiency of TN removal could reach 98.8%. By combining PN/A with PD/A, enhanced nitrogen removal from landfill leachate was achieved successfully with an external carbon source addition (COD/NH4+-N) of 0.28.

Abstract
In order to reduce the amount of NO3--N generated by the Anammox process, and alleviate the competition between denitrification and Anammox for NO2--N in a single reactor, the preference of S0 for reacting with coexisting NO2--N and NO3--N in the sulfur autotrophic denitrifying (SADN) process and the coupling effect of short-cut SADN and the Anammox process were studied. The results showed that S0 preferentially reacted with NO3- to produce NO2--N, and then reacted with NO2--N when NO3--N was insufficient, which could effectively alleviate the competition between SADN bacteria (SADNB) and Anammox bacteria (AnAOB) for NO2--N. After 170 days of operation, coupling between short-cut S0-SADN and the Anammox process was first successfully achieved. SADNB converted the NO3--N generated by the Anammox process into NO2--N, which was once again available to AnAOB. The total nitrogen removal efficiency eventually stabilized at over 95%, and the effluent NO3--N was controlled within 10 mg/L, when high NH4+-N wastewater was treated by the Anammox process. Microbial community analysis further showed that Candidatus Brocadia and Thiobacillus were the functional microorganisms for AnAOB and SADNB.

Abstract
The aim of this work was to study the performance of pollutants removal and biomass production by co-culture of Chlorella vulgaris and activated sludge in a batch photobioreactor (PBR), compared with their single system to treat a low C/N ratio (COD/N = 4.3) wastewater. The co-culture system surpassed activated sludge system in terms of nutrients removal and outperformed microalgae alone system in regard to COD removal. Biomass productivity of the co-culture system was 343.3 mg L-1 d-1, and the harvested biomass could be developed as biofuels, animal feeds or soil conditioners due to the improved calorific value and cellular composition compared with activated sludge. The low C/N ratio wastewater enabled bacteria to maintain a relatively low level, hence in favor of microalgae enrichment and nutrient recovery.

Abstract
A novel AnammoxDeNOx process was designed to simultaneously remove NOx in flue gas and ammonium wastewater, with the aim of exploring the possibility of using NO as a long-term and stable electron acceptor for anammox bacteria. The performance of the AnammoxDeNOx process indicated a NOx removal efficiency from simulated flue gas (including CO2, SO2, O2 and NO2) of 87-96% using simulated ammonium wastewater. With municipal wastewater, the removal efficiencies for NOx were 70-90%, total nitrogen 40-70%, and COD 80-90% (NO concentration: 100-500 ppm). The anammox genus underwent considerable changes from the dominant Candidatus Kuenenia in the stage of domestication to the predominant Candidatus Brocadia, which then became the dominant species in the simulated flue gas and actual municipal wastewater stages.

Abstract
The characteristics of reaction between S0 and NO2--N or NO3--N in the sulfur autotrophic denitrification (SADN) process were studied using S0 as an electron donor and NO2--N and NO3--N as electron acceptors. The effect of changes in pH and temperature on the processes of NO2--N and NO3--N reduction were also studied to identify the optimum control parameters for strengthening the preference of S0 on NO3--N; thus, achieving the efficient accumulation of NO2--N. The results showed that the affinity of S0 for NO3--N was considerably higher than that for NO2--N. The optimum pH values for the reductions of NO2--N and NO3--N were 7.0 and 8.5, respectively, and both optimum temperatures were 35 °C. By controlling different pH, the NO3--N conversion efficiency reached 90%, at which time the accumulation of NO2--N was more than 95%. Microbial community analysis showed that Thiobacillus, Sulfurimonas, and Thioahalobacter were the main genera in the S0-SADN process.

Abstract
An efficient and stable combined denitrification-partial nitrification-Anammox process with a dual recycling system was used to remove nitrogen from mature landfill leachate. After 155 d of operation, the NO3- as the PN-Anammox byproduct was almost treated with biodegradable organic carbon in raw wastewater in a pre-denitrification reactor by external recycling system. When raw landfill leachate with NH4+-N concentration of 1900 mg/L was treated, an integrated reactor with airlift recycling was combined with the PN and Anammox reactions to efficiently remove NH4+ from the inflow. The total nitrogen concentration of effluent stabilized at 20 mg/L and total nitrogen removal efficiency was 99%. The maximum NO2- production rate in the aerobic zone was 2.2 kg/(m3·d) and the maximum nitrogen removal rate in the anaerobic zone was 21.4 kg/(m3·d). The most common phyla among the nitrification and the Anammox functional bacteria were Nitrosomonas, Candidatus Kuenenia, and Candidatus Brocadia after landfill leachate treatment.
