HXF1 for the simultaneous removal of ammonia nitrogen and fluoride from groundwater. PG - 124608 LID - S0960-8524(20)31882-4 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.biortech.2020.124608 [doi] AB - Pseudomonas sp. HXF1, a strain capable of heterotrophic nitrification, aerobic denitrification (HNAD), and biomineralization was identified and employed for the simultaneous removal of ammonia nitrogen (NH(4)(+)-N) and fluoride (F(-)). It removed 99.2% of NH(4)(+)-N without accumulation of nitrous nitrogen (NO(2)(-)-N) and nitrate nitrogen (NO(3)(-)-N), while removed 87.3% of F(-). Response surface methodology (RSM) was used to study the best removal conditions for NH(4)(+)-N and F(-). The results of nitrogen balance experiments with NH(4)Cl, NaNO(2), and NaNO(3) as single nitrogen sources and amplification experiments of denitrification genes proved that the bacterial strains may remove NH(4)(+)-N through HNAD. The experimental results of Scanning electron microscope (SEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and X-ray diffractometer (XRD) indicated that the way of F(-) removal may be adsorption and co-precipitation. The results demonstrated that the strain HXF1 has great potential in the biological denitrification and F(-) removal of groundwater. CI - Copyright (c) 2020 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
