Περίληψη: The integration of partial denitrification (PD, NO3-→NO2-) with anaerobic ammonium oxidation (Anammox) in anoxic biofilm systems presents a transformative approach for enhanced nitrogen removal from municipal wastewater. Through a 7-month comparative analysis of spatially stratified anoxic zones in an anaerobic-anoxic-oxic bioreactor treating real wastewater (NH4+: 47.6 ± 4.7 mg N/L; COD: 154.8 ± 29.6 mg/L), this study achieved 71.8 ± 5.8% total nitrogen removal (effluent TN: 12.9 ± 3.9 mg N/L), aiming to propose optimization frameworks targeting biofilm carrier deployment in the anoxic zone. Test results showed that functional dominance partitioning emerged as a key determinant: the first anoxic zone (A1) exhibited peak anammox activity (0.034 kg N/m3/d) via rapid acetate-driven nitrate reduction, while the third zone (A3) sustained maximum Ca. Brocadia abundance (1.7%). Metagenomic sequencing further revealed that the highest ratio of NO3- reductase gene (narG) to NO2- reductase genes (nirS, nirK) was 2.06 in A3 compared to 1.39-1.68 in the other biofilms, indicating a stronger ability to supply NO2- to anammox. Carbon metabolic gene distribution revealed A1's acetate/glucose preference versus A3's endogenous metabolism dominance (elevated TCA cycle genes). This study proposes an innovative biofilm management framework for energy-efficient municipal wastewater treatment: front-positioned carriers maximize anammox nitrogen removal under moderate carbon-to-nitrogen ratios (3-5), while rear-positioned units secure anammox biomass retention during carbon surges.
