Abstract
Nitrate-dependent anaerobic methane oxidation (Nitrate-DAMO) is a novel and sustainable process that removes both nitrogen and methane. Previously, the metabolic pathway of Nitrate-DAMO has been intensively studied with some results. However, the production and consumption of nitrous oxide (N2O) in the Nitrate-DAMO system were widely disregarded. In this study, a Nitrate-DAMO system was used to investigate the effect of operational parameters (C/N ratio, pH, and temperature) on N2O accumulation, and the optimal operating conditions were determined (C/N = 3, pH = 6.5, and temperature = 20 °C). In this study, an enzyme kinetic model was used to fit the nitrate nitrogen degradation and the nitrous oxide production and elimination under different operating conditions. The thermodynamic model of N2O production and elimination in the system also has been constructed. Multiple linear regression analysis found that pH was the most important factor influencing N2O accumulation. The Metagenomics sequencing results showed that alkaline pH promoted the abundance of Nor genes and denitrifying bacteria, which were significantly and positively correlated with N2O emissions. And alkaline pH also promoted the production of Mdo genes related to the N2O-driven AOM reaction, indicating that part of the N2O was consumed by denitrifying bacteria and the other part was consumed by the N2O-driven AOM reaction. These findings reveal the mechanism of N2O production and consumption in DAMO systems and provide a theoretical basis for reducing N2O production and greenhouse gas emissions in actual operation.
