    Abstract:
    A zeolite biological aerated filter (ZBAF) with continuous feeding was successfully applied for achieving stable partial nitrification. Excellent nitrite accumulation (higher than 98.0%) and high nitrite/nitrate production rate (NPR) (approximately 0.760kg/m3/d) were obtained with increase influent ammonium concentration from 250 to 550mg/L within a nitrogen loading rate (NLR) of 0.854-1.200kg/m3/d. Owning to the adsorption of zeolite to ammonium, free ammonia (FA) concentration could remain at an appropriate range for inhibition of nitrite oxidizing bacteria (NOB) and dominance of ammonia-oxidizing bacteria (AOB), which should be responsible for the excellent partial nitrification realized in ZBAF. Kinetic study showed that the production of nitrite in ZBAF followed the zero-order kinetics model and high-throughput sequencing analysis further presented the enrichment of AOB and inhibition of NOB in ZBAF. All the results demonstrated that ZBAF hold a great potential in the application of partial nitrification for ammonium wastewater treatment.
