dc.description.abstract | Membrane-aerated bacterial-algal biofilm reactor (MABAR) is an emerging and novel technology in recent years, which has been attracting increasing attention due to its cost-effectiveness and superior removal performance of pollutants by versatile removal pathways in symbiotic bacterial-algal biofilm. However, the wider application of MABAR is hindered by the dilemma of insufficient algae biomass. In this study, an MABAR under natural sunlight was developed and operated for 160 d to access the feasibility of enhancing algae proliferation by natural lighting. Results showed that the MABAR with natural sunlight (nMABAR) demonstrated better performance of pollutants removal. High removal efficiencies of organic matter and NH4-N in nMABAR were 90 % and 92 %, respectively. In particular, the removal efficiency of TN in nMABAR, under less aeration, was up to 80 %, which was 15 % higher than the control reactor. The Chlorophyll-a content indicated that natural sunlight facilitated to algae growth in MABAR, and algae assimilation might be the dominant contributor to NH4-N removal. Moreover, there were microbial shifts in bacterial-algal biofilm in a response to the natural lighting, the nMABAR uniquely possessed a bacterial phylotype termed Thiocapsa, which could play an important role in bacterial nitrification. Algal phylotype Chlorophyceae significantly contributed to pollutants removal and synergistic relationship with bacteria. In addition, the superb performance of nMABAR under less aeration condition suggested that abundant algae were capable of supplying enough O2 for the system. These results provided insight into the natural lighting on algae-bacteria synergistic growth and cost-effective operation strategy for MABAR. | |

Abstract:
Membrane-aerated bacterial-algal biofilm reactor (MABAR) is an emerging and novel technology in recent years, which has been attracting increasing attention due to its cost-effectiveness and superior removal performance of pollutants by versatile removal pathways in symbiotic bacterial-algal biofilm. However, the wider application of MABAR is hindered by the dilemma of insufficient algae biomass. In this study, an MABAR under natural sunlight was developed and operated for 160 d to access the feasibility of enhancing algae proliferation by natural lighting. Results showed that the MABAR with natural sunlight (nMABAR) demonstrated better performance of pollutants removal. High removal efficiencies of organic matter and NH4-N in nMABAR were 90 % and 92 %, respectively. In particular, the removal efficiency of TN in nMABAR, under less aeration, was up to 80 %, which was 15 % higher than the control reactor. The Chlorophyll-a content indicated that natural sunlight facilitated to algae growth in MABAR, and algae assimilation might be the dominant contributor to NH4-N removal. Moreover, there were microbial shifts in bacterial-algal biofilm in a response to the natural lighting, the nMABAR uniquely possessed a bacterial phylotype termed Thiocapsa, which could play an important role in bacterial nitrification. Algal phylotype Chlorophyceae significantly contributed to pollutants removal and synergistic relationship with bacteria. In addition, the superb performance of nMABAR under less aeration condition suggested that abundant algae were capable of supplying enough O2 for the system. These results provided insight into the natural lighting on algae-bacteria synergistic growth and cost-effective operation strategy for MABAR.
