Enhancing Nitrogen Removal Performance Using Immobilized Aerobic Denitrifying Bacteria by Modified Polyvinyl Alcohol/Sodium Alginate (PVA/SA).
Chemosphere 2024 April 13
Aerobic denitrification has emerged as a promising and efficient method for nitrogen removal from wastewater. However, the direct application of aerobic denitrifying bacteria has faced challenges such as low nitrogen removal efficiency, bacterial loss, and poor stability. To address these issues, this study developed a novel microbial particle carrier using NaHCO3 -modified polyvinyl alcohol (PVA)/sodium alginate (SA) gel (NaHCO3 -PVA/SA). This carrier exhibits several advantageous properties, including excellent mass transfer efficiency, favorable biocompatibility, convenient film formation, abundant biomass, and exceptional pollutant treatment capacity. The carrier was modified with 0.3% NaHCO3 , 8.0% PVA, and 1.0% SA, resulting in a remarkable 3.4-fold increase in the average pore diameter and a 12.8% improvement in mass transfer efficiency. This carrier was utilized to immobilize the aerobic denitrifying bacterium Stutzerimonas stutzeri W-2 to enhance nitrogen removal (NaHCO3 -PVA/SA@W-2), resulting in a NO3 - -N removal efficiency of 99.06%, which was 21.39% higher than that without modification. Compared with the non-immobilized W-2, the degradation efficiency was improved by 43.70%. After five reuses, the NO3 - -N and TN removal rates remained at 99% and 93.01%, respectively. These results provide a solid foundation for the industrial application of the modified carrier as an effective tool for nitrogen removal in large-scale wastewater treatment processes.
