The nitrogen removal rate(NRR) finally improved to 15.77 kg/m3/d by shortening hydraulic retention time(HRT) to 1.06 h. Well-shaped red anammox granules were extensively enriched inside the reactor. The results of nitrogen removal kinetics indicated that the present bioreactor has great nitrogen removal potential, because the maximum rate of substrate utilization(Umax) predicted by Stover-Kincannon model is suggested as 55.68 kg/(m3·d). Analysis of the microbial community showed that the anammox genus Candidatus Kuenenia dominated the bacterial communities. The relative abundance of Candidatus Kuenenia rose from 12.29% to 36.95% after progressively shorter HRT and higher influent substrate concentrations, illustrating the stability of nitrogen removal performance and biomass enrichment offered by the UASB in carrying out high-rate anammox process.展开更多
