Micro-graphite particles accelerate denitrification in biological treatment systems
Accelerated denitrification is an essential problem in the biological treatment of nitrogenous wastewater. In this study, we report that denitrification is accelerated by micro-graphite particles (MGPs). The denitrification rate was increased by 83.4% or 11.1% in synthetic (with 0.16 g/L MGPs) or industrial nitrogenous wastewater (with 0.12 g/L MGP), respectively. The mechanism was revealed via a quantitative polymerase chain reaction (q-PCR), high-throughput sequencing, and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The abundance of denitrifying bacteria Paracoccus in the sludge was increased by micro-graphite particles. The number of denitrifying bacteria with the nirS gene was increased significantly (75.6%). To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report that MGP could enhance denitrification via the sludge. MGP can denitrify in industrial applications.
