To eliminate N2O emission or utilize it for energy recovery
a laboratory-scale SBR inoculated with common activated sludge with acetate and nitrate additions decoupled
was conducted for endogenous denitrification running with anaerobic/anoxic cycles without DPAOs. During one cycle
approximately 50% of nitrate was converted to nitrite
N2O emission rate increased with nitrite accumulation
and 2.04% of removed nitrogen was emitted as nitrous oxide (N2O). Batch tests were conducted to compare the emission of N2O that was influenced by external carbon source dosage (C/N was 0
0.75 and 2.50) using nitrite as the electron acceptor before and after poly-β-hydroxybutyrate (PHB) was synthesized.The results showed that
the N2O emission was slightly decreased with the increase of total carbon source
and the N2O conversion ratio was between 0.24% and 1.61%. 15.90% of N2O conversion ratio was obtained in the absence of external organic carbon
the maximum N2O emission rate was 71.29 μg/(min·g)
and the N2O emission was 14-26 times higher than that of the other batch test results
indicating that when the PHB was the sole electron donor
the endogenous denitrification could produce more N2O using nitrite as the electron acceptor.
