摘要
In order to improve the nitrogen selectivity (Ns) of bio-denitrification,in this study,palladium nanoparticles (Bio-PdNPs) were biosynthesized by the denitrifying sludge,and the effects of different Bio-PdNPs loading(0,5 and 10 mg·L-1)were investigated. The results showed that the nitrate removal efficiency increased from 67.85% to 94.00%(C/N=7,5 h) at appropriate palladium loading (Bio-PdNPs-5),and the corresponding Ns increased from 77.30% to 97.46%. However,excessive Pd loading(Bio-PdNPs-10)inhibited denitrification,but the Ns was still up to 90.01%,which is of great significance for reducing N2O emissions. The mechanism analysis showed that Bio-PdNPs mediated denitrification was mainly attributed to butyric acid type and mixture fermentation,in which the hydrogen produced by fermentation could be rapidly captured by PdNPs and decomposed to form Pd[H],eventually improved Ns. In addition,Bio-PdNPs also promoted electron transfer via stimulating the secreting cytochrome c,resulting in the electron transport system activity(ETSA)increasing from 570.37 μg·mg-1·h-1to 647.2 2 μg·mg-1·h-1 ? 2022 Science Press.
