High-rate biological denitrification in the cyclic rotating-bed biological reactor: Effect of COD=NO 3 , nitrate concentration and salinity and the phylogenetic analysis of denitrifiers

The effects of COD=NO 3 ratio, nitrate concentration and salinity was tested on the performance of the CRBR in denitrification with catechol as carbon source. The maximum nitrate reduction attained atCOD=NO 3 ratio of 1. The CRBR operated at optimum COD=NO3 ratio could completely denitrify the nitrate at inlet concentration up to 1250 mg/L without nitrite accumulation. The maximum denitrifica tion rate in the CRBR was 3:56 kgNO 3 =m3 d with a nitrate reduction efficiency of 99% when the bioreactor was operated at inlet nitrate loading rate of 3:6 kgNO 3 =m3 d. The denitrification performance of the CRBR was not affected significantly by NaCl concentrations up to 20 g/L. 16S rRNA fragment and phylogenetic analysis identified Pseudomonas resinovorans, Stenotrophomonas maltophilia and Bacillus cereus as the most abundant denitrifiers in biomass. Accordingly, the CRBR is a high-rate bioreactor and appropriate technology for treatment of nitrate-laden industrial wastewaters containing phenolic compounds and salinity.
