Biological ammonium and sulfide oxidation in a nitrifying sequencing batch reactor: Kinetic and microbial population dynamics assessments.

Abstract:

:A kinetic study was carried out in a sequencing batch reactor (SBR) (125 mg NH4+-N/L) inoculated with a physiologically stable nitrifying sludge not previously acclimated to sulfur compounds and fed at different initial sulfide concentrations (2.5-20.0 mg HS--S/L). Up to 10.0 mg HS--S/L, the nitrifying process kept stable and complete, reaching an ammonium consumption efficiency (ENH4+) of 100% and a nitrate yield (YNO3-) of 0.95 ± 0.03 mg NO3--N/mg NH4+-N consumed. At 15.0 and 20.0 mg HS--S/L, after an initial alteration in the nitrite oxidizing process, the YNO2- was decreasing throughout the cycles and the YNO3- increasing, obtaining in the last cycle at 20.0 mg HS--S/L, an ENH4+ of 100%, a YNO2- of zero, and a YNO3- of 0.80 mg NO3--N/mg NH4+-N consumed. At the end of the period at 20.0 mg HS--S/L, the specific rates of ammonium consumption and nitrate formation were 15 and 55% lower than their respective values in the control period without sulfide addition, showing that the sludge had a better metabolic adaptation for ammonium oxidizing activity than for nitrite oxidizing activity. The sludge acquired a higher sulfide oxidation capacity along the cycles. Bacterial population dynamics assessment indicated that the ammonium oxidizing bacteria (AOB) community was more diverse and stable than the nitrite oxidizing bacteria (NOB) community. The use of consortia with a previously stabilized nitrifying activity in SBR may constitute an alternative for eliminating simultaneously ammonium by nitrification and sulfide by sulfide oxidation and be implemented for the treatment of wastewater with ammonium and sulfide.
