    Abstract:
    Combined partial nitrification-denitrification/anammox (PN-PD/A) processes have attracted great attention from researchers in recent years to achieve high nitrogen removal from low carbon /nitrogen (C/N) municipal wastewater. In this context, a step-feed anoxic/oxic (A/O) process was conducted in this study through the combination of the partial nitrification-anammox (PN/A) and partial denitrification-anammox (PD/A) to remove N from municipal wastewater with low C/N. The enhancement of the PN-PD/A process resulted in N removal efficiency of 85.6% at C/N of 2.8. The contributions of the anammox reached 36.4 and 8.8% in the anoxic and oxic chambers, respectively. The biocarriers added to the anoxic and oxic chambers increased the relative abundance of the anammox bacteria in biofilms from 0.61% to 1.51% and 1.02%, respectively. This study demonstrated that employing the step-feed A/O process can create optimal conditions for the anammox bacteria growth, thereby ensuring advanced N removal from low C/N municipal wastewater.
