Immobilizing partial denitrification biomass and redox mediators to integrate with the anammox process for nitrogen removal.

ABSTRACT: In this study, immobilizing partial denitrification biomass and redox mediators to integrate with the anammox process for nitrogen removal was investigated. Three redox mediators (RMs), namely, 2-methyl-1,4-naphthoquinone (ME), anthraquinone (AQ) and 1-dichloroanthraquinone (1-AQ) were catalyzed to reduce nitrate to only nitrite by denitrification to integrate with the anammox process for nitrogen removal. First, our experimental results showed that there were 35.8, 42.2 and 53.0 mg-N L^-1 nitrite accumulation values with the addition of ME, AQ and 1-AQ, respectively, at the dose of 75 µM by the denitrification process at C/N = 2, which were 25.6%, 48.2% and 86.1% higher than that of the control without the addition of any RMs. Nitrate reductase activities were higher than that o
