Abstract:
      To investigate the impact of crop straw and steel slag on nitrogen removal from low carbon-to-nitrogen ratio(C/N)sewage, this study employed wheat straw(W group), rice straw(R group), wheat straw + steel slag(WF group), and rice straw + steel slag(RF group) as packing materials in an anaerobic circulation system for treating sewage. The effectiveness of these six different packing systems in removing nitrate nitrogen(NO3--N)was evaluated. The results demonstrated that the NO3--N removal rates for the W, R, WF, and RF groups were 94.99%, 86.70%, 98.75%, and 94.70% respectively. Compared with the WF and RF groups which utilized mixed packings of straw and steel slag, the pure straw packing systems(W and R groups)exhibited higher rates of NO3--N removal but resulted in elevated concentrations of dissolved organic carbon(DOC)during the treatment process. The presence of iron-containing compounds released from the steel slag in both WF and RF groups facilitated organic matter consumption, thereby maintaining a lower DOC concentration level throughout the treatment process to prevent potential secondary pollution caused by high DOC concentration. After comprehensive consideration, the utilization of a wheat straw + steel slag mixed filler could effectively prevent secondary pollution in the process of nitrogen removal while maintaining efficient nitrogen removal, making it more suitable for practical applications in low C/N ratio sewage treatment.
