Abstract:
:An acetate-rich wastewater, containing 170 mg/L of total organic carbon (TOC), 13 mg/L of N, and 15 mg/L of P, was treated using the enhanced biological phosphate removal (EBPR) process operated in a sequencing batch reactor. A slight change of pH of the mixed liquor from 7.0 to 6.5 led to a complete loss of phosphate-removing capability and a drastic change of microbial populations. The process steadily removed 94% of TOC and 99.9% of P from the wastewater at pH 7.0, but only 93% TOC and 17% of P 14 days after the pH was lowered to pH 6.5. The sludge contained 8.8% P at pH 7.0, but only 1.9% at pH 6.5. Based on 16S rDNA analysis, 64.8% of the clones obtained from the sludge at pH 7.0 were absent in the pH 6.5 sludge. The missing microbes, some of which were likely responsible for the phosphate removal at pH 7.0, included beta-Proteobacteria, Actinobacteria, Bacteriodetes/Chlorobi group, plus photosynthetic bacteria and Defluvicoccus of the alpha-Proteobacteria. Among them, the last two groups, which represented 9.3% and 10.1% of the EBPR sludge at pH 7.0, have rarely been reported in an EBPR system.
