- Abstract
Pickle wastewater is a highly saline organic effluent that poses a significant ecological risk. In this study, a sequencing batch biofilm reactor (SBBR) was used to treat such wastewater, and a denitrification system capable of simultaneously removing high levels of nitrogen and organic matter was successfully established. Through salinity incremental increase, the system operated stably, and the removal rates of COD, TN, and NH4+-N could be maintained at about 96%, 93%, and 99% under the salinity of 3.0%. The effect of salinity on the structure and function of microbial communities in the reactor was investigated by high-throughput sequencing. The results showed that increasing salinity could reduce the diversity, change the structure, and reduce the functionality of the microbial community. Under high-salt conditions (salt content of 3.0%), salt-tolerant microorganisms such as Actinobacteriota became dominant populations. As salinity increased, NOB (nitrite oxidizing bacteria) was strongly inhibited, and its abundance decreased rapidly until it disappeared. Partial nitrification–denitrification (PND) gradually became the main denitrification pathway. In conclusion, this experiment not only shows that SBBR treatment of pickle wastewater has strong feasibility, but also provides a theoretical research basis for the engineering treatment of pickle wastewater.
