摘要
As a recently emerging wastewater treatment technology,Algal-bacterial granular sludge(ABGS)process shows significant advantages.However,current research on the ABGS system is a lack of a clear and complete understanding of the potential mechanism of signal molecules on the growth of ABGS.This study comprehensively explores the variations in the ABGS under different N-acyl-homoserine lactone(AHL)conditions by constructing three sequencing batch reactor(SBR)systems.The results indicate that N-hexanoyl-l-homoserine lactone(C6-HSL)accelerates the granulation process in the early stages by promoting the loosely bound extracellular polymeric substances(LB-EPS)secretion and filamentous bacteria growth,thereby shortening required time for initial granule formation.On the other hand,N-(3-oxodecanoyl)-l-homoserine lactone(3-oxo-C12-HSL)expedites the granulation process by promoting the tightly bound extracellular polymeric substances(TB-EPS)and aromatic protein secretion,benefiting structural stability and nitrogen and phosphorus removal efficiency of mature ABGS.
