Smaller Aerobic Granules Significantly Reduce N 2 O Production by Ammonia-Oxidizing Bacteria: Evidences from Biochemical and Isotopic Analyses.
Environmental Science & Technology 2023 December 20
The mitigation of nitrous oxide (N2 O) is of primary significance to offset carbon footprints in aerobic granular sludge (AGS) systems. However, a significant knowledge gap still exists regarding the N2 O production mechanism and its pathway contribution. To address this issue, the impact of varying granule sizes, dissolved oxygen (DO), and nitrite (NO2 - ) levels on N2 O production by ammonia-oxidizing bacteria (AOB) during nitrification in AGS systems was comprehensively investigated. Biochemical and isotopic experiments revealed that increasing DO or decreasing NO2 - levels reduced N2 O emission factors (by 13.8 or 19.5%) and production rates (by 0.08 or 0.35 mg/g VSS/h) via weakening the role of the AOB denitrification pathway since increasing DO competed for more electrons required for AOB denitrification. Smaller granules (0.5 mm) preferred to diminish N2 O production via enhancing the role of NH2 OH pathway (i.e., 59.4-100% in the absence of NO2 - ), while larger granules (2.0 mm) induced conspicuously higher N2 O production via the AOB denitrification pathway (approximately 100% at higher NO2 - levels). Nitrifying AGS systems with a unified size of 0.5 mm achieved 42% N2 O footprint reduction compared with the system with mixed sizes (0.5-2.0 mm) under optimal conditions (DO = 3.0 mg-O2 /L and NO2 - = 0 mg-N/L).
