Abstract: High ammonia nitrogen wastewater was treated in an integrated anaerobic ammonia oxidation SBR reactor. Effects of particle sizes (R1:0.2-0.5mm,R2:0.5-1mm,R3:>1mm) and C/N ratios on the nitrogen removal from granular sludge were studied. The results showed that the AOB activities of R1, R2 and R3 decreased in turn; R2 had the highest NOB activity, followed by R1, and R3 had the lowest; and R2 had the highest activity of ANAMMOX, followed by R1, and R3 had the lowest. When the C/N ratio increased, the granular sludge morphology changed obviously, and microscopic examination showed that the middle red part gradually reduced and peripheral yellow encirclement occurred. The total nitrogen removal load reduced from 0.59kg/(m3·d) to 0.34kg/(m3·d), and the total nitrogen removal rate increased from 94.75% to 95.07% and then decreased to 87.55%. The results showed that the C/N ratio should not exceed 1.5 in CANON process.
