Denitrification Performance in Packed-Bed Reactors Using Novel Carbon-Sulfur-Based Composite Filters for Treatment of Synthetic Wastewater and Anaerobic Ammonia Oxidation Effluent.

ABSTRACT: To avoid nitrate pollution in water bodies, two low-cost and abundant natural organic carbon sources were added to make up the solid-phase denitrification filters. This study compared four novel solid-phase carbon-sulfur-based composite filters, and their denitrification abilities were investigated in laboratory-scale bioreactors. The filter F₄ (mixture of elemental sulfur powder, shell powder, and peanut hull powder with a mass ratio of 6:2.5:1.5) achieved the highest denitrification ability, with an optimal nitrate removal rate (NRR) of 723 ± 14.2 mg NO₃ ^--N⋅L^-1⋅d^-1 when the hydraulic retention time (HRT) was 1 h. The HRT considerably impacted effluent quality after coupling of anaerobic ammonium oxidation (ANAMMOX) and solid-phase-b
