摘要: The organic loading rate (OLR) is a key factor influencing activated sludge formation, while microplastics (MPs) have been shown to impact activated sludge performance and microbial community structure. However, the differential effects of MPs on nitrogen removal and microbial communities at varying OLRs remain unclear. This study investigates the effects of polyethylene microplastics (PE-MPs, the entire text will be abbreviated as MPs) on nitrogen removal efficiency and microbial community dynamics under different OLR conditions. Results demonstrate that at low OLR (0.05-0.10 kg BOD5/ (kg MLSS center dot d)), MPs significantly reduced nitrogen removal efficiency, while this effect was less pronounced at normal OLR conditions (0.10-0.20 kg BOD5/ (kg MLSS center dot d)), where nitrogen removal was maintained at approximately 83 % and effluent total nitrogen concentration was maintained at 7.37 mg/L, meeting the Class I effluent standards. This phenomenon could be attributed to two primary factors: (1) inhibition of extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) formation, with decreased release of protein (PRO) and polysaccharide (PSR) negatively affecting system stability and nitrification; and (2) nutrient scarcity, which led to the proliferation of heterotrophic bacteria that competed for resources and occupied space, thereby impacting the nitrifying microbial community (AOB, NOB, and NIRS). These results suggest that optimizing the influent OLR to 0.10-0.20 kg BOD5/ (kg MLSS center dot d)) can help to mitigate the negative impacts of MPs in wastewater treatment systems.
