Outline of Final Research Achievements

Mitigation of nitrous oxide (N2O), known as a highly-potent greenhouse gas and ozone-depleting substance, is demanded. This study elucidated production pathways of N2O emitted during partial nitrification (PN) as a promising technology to removal nitrogen from wastewater in a cost-effective way. To unveil intricate N2O production pathways during PN, mainly mediated by ammonia-oxidizing bacteria, a 15N tracer method was employed, capable of measuring N2O isotopologues. The application of the method to batch tests for PN demonstrated that N-nitrosation hybrid reaction, coupling hydroxylamine with nitrite, mainly occurred in a PN bioreactor. This hybrid reaction was likely to occur also via an abiotic reaction, which has been incorporated into a new N2O production model. Furthermore, the experiment on dissolved oxygen (DO) effect on N2O production and pathways underpinned that proportions of N2O production pathways vary depending on DO concentrations.
