Abstract:

Bioelectrochemical systems(BES) has become a hot spot in the research field of wastewater denitrification in recent years,as it could enhance the performance of autotrophic denitrification,stimulate the activity of nitrogen removal enzymes,which shows potential advantages in the treatment of nitrogen-containing wastewater. Based on the recycle of nitrogen in wastewater,this study integrated the latest research progress concerning the effect of BES in the treatment of nitrogen-containing wastewater. The BES multi-path synergistic nitrogen removal mechanism and the treatment effects of different forms of BES on nitrogen-containing wastewater were concluded,a variety of synergistic nitrogen removal pathways that combine the migration of nitrogen ions with biological denitrification were also proposed. Besides,the influences of electrode materials,operating parameters and current intensity on the performance of BES in nitrogen removal were analyzed,and the application of BES in the nitrogen removal of low C/N wastewater was also analyzed. Compared with traditional biological nitrogen removal,the advantages of nitrogen removal by BES are mainly reflected in the following aspects:reducing the dosage of carbon source,realizing synchronous power generation to reduce energy consumption. It also increases the pH of the solution by the oxidation?reduction reaction in the cathode,which is conducive to the recovery of NH4+?N. Furthermore,the electric field generated or applied by BES can promote the growth and reproduction of nitrogen removal bacteria and enhance the activity of nitrogen removal enzymes so that enhance the nitrogen removal performance of the system. At last,study of the nitrogen removal mechanism in BES from perspectives of ionic migration and current intensity,development of new electrode materials,and optimization of operating parameters were proposed to be future research interests of nitrogen removal by BES to further promote the practical application of BES in the field of nitrogen removal in wastewater.

摘要:

生物电化学系统(BES)可增强体系的自养反硝化,刺激脱氮酶活性,对含氮废水的处理具有潜在优势,近年来已成为废水脱氮领域的研究热点。本研究基于氮素在废水中的循环,综合国内外相关文献,总结了BES的多途径协同脱氮机理及不同形式BES对含氮废水的处理效果,提出了将氮素离子的迁移与生物脱氮相结合的多种协同脱氮途径,分析了电极材料、运行参数及电流强度对BES脱氮性能的影响,并对BES在低C/N废水脱氮中的应用进行了分析。相比于传统生物脱氮,BES脱氮的优势主要体现在以下几个方面:减少了碳源投加量;可实现同步产电以降低能耗;阴极发生的氧化还原反应可提升溶液pH,有利于NH4+?N的回收;BES产生的或外加的电场可以促进脱氮菌的生长繁殖并提升脱氮酶的活性,增强系统脱氮性能。最后提出了未来BES脱氮研究的方向:从氮素离子迁移及电流强度的角度探究脱氮机理,开发新型电极材料,优化运行参数,以进一步促进BES在废水脱氮领域的实际推广应用。
