          Abstract

          In this study, the granulation of nitrifying-denitrifying via nitrite process in a sequencing batch reactor (SBR) as well as N(2)O emission patterns was investigated. After 60 days of operation, 0.8 mm granules were obtained, and partial nitrification was achieved after NH(4)(+)-N was raised to 350 mg/L. Fluorescence In-Situ Hybridization (FISH) analysis indicated that a fairly large proportion of ammonia-oxidizing bacteria (AOB) was close to the surface but nitrite-oxidizing bacteria (NOB) were rarely found. Batch experiments showed that 64.0% of NH(4)(+)-N in influent was transformed into NO(2)(-)-N, which showed the granules had excellent partial nitrification ability. Inhibition of free ammonia (FA) and limited DO diffusion within granules may contribute to the development and stabilization of partial nitrification. This process did not simultaneously lead to increased N(2)O production. N(2)O emissions at the anoxic and aerobic phases were 0.06 and 13.13 mg N(2)O/cycle, respectively.
