Definitions
- the invention is directed to oxidise total ammonia nitrogen (TAN) as dissolved in an aqueous solution by contacting the aqueous solution with ammonia-oxidizing bacteria.
- TAN total ammonia nitrogen
- TAN dissolved in waste water is converted in an aerobic process to nitrite in the presence of ammonia oxidizing bacteria (AOB).
- AOB ammonia oxidizing bacteria
- TAN is defined as the total amount of dissolved nitrogen in the forms of NH3 and NH4 + .
- the nitrite is subsequently converted to nitrate in the presence of nitrite oxidizing bacteria (NOB).
- NOB nitrite oxidizing bacteria
- Nitrate can subsequently be converted to nitrogen by denitrification in the presence of denitrifying bacteria, using organic matter as electron donor, in a subsequent anaerobic process.
- N2O nitrous oxide
- US2011/0183159 describes a process for the oxidation of ammonia in a microbial fuel cell (MFC).
- MFC microbial fuel cell
- the microbial fuel cell is provided with an anode and a cathode.
- a first fluid is in contact with the anode and contains microorganisms capable of catalysing the oxidation of ammonium.
- a second fluid is in contact with the cathode and contains microorganisms capable of catalysing the reduction of nitrite.
- the conversion of ammonia takes place in a biofilm as present at the surface of the electrode.
- a problem of the process described in US2011/0183159 is that the conversion of ammonia is low.
- the object of the present invention is to provide a process which has the advantages of US2011/0183159 with respect to the low formation of nitrous oxide and at the same time provide a higher conversion of ammonia.
- the object of the present invention is to provide a process for converting ammonia which does not have the above disadvantages.
- a process to oxidise total ammonia nitrogen, also referred to as TAN, as dissolved in an aqueous solution by (i) contacting the aqueous solution with oxidised ammonia-oxidizing bacteria under anaerobic conditions wherein TAN is converted and reduced ammonia-oxidizing bacteria are obtained and (ii) wherein in a separate step the reduced ammonia-oxidizing bacteria are oxidised by transfer of electrons to an anode of an electrochemical cell to obtain the oxidised ammonia-oxidizing bacteria.
- TAN can be converted in an anaerobic process by the process according to the invention thereby significantly lowering the formation of nitrous oxides.
- step (i) and step (ii) as separate steps a higher ammonia conversion is observed. It is not entirely understood why such a process would have a higher ammonia conversion. It may be because the ammonia conversion does not take place in a biofilm as in the prior art process. It may also be that the driving force of electron transfer in the electrochemical cell is enlarged as a result of performing step (i) and step (ii) separately.
- a further advantage is that energy can be produced instead of consumed as in the prior art processes. Further advantages will become clear when discussing the invention in more detail.
- step (i) oxidation of TAN to nitrate takes place which may be described by:
- bac 4+ is an oxidized ammonia-oxidizing bacteria and TAN is represented as ammonia (NH3). While the ammonia is oxidized, the bacteria is reduced or at least has taken up reduced components in a 8-electron reaction thereby obtaining bac 4- .
- Oxidation of ammonia to nitrite may also take place. This reaction may be described by:
- bac 3+ is an oxidized ammonia-oxidizing bacteria. While the ammonia is oxidized, the bacteria is reduced or at least has taken up reduced components in a 6-electron reaction thereby obtaining bac 3- .

- a preferred anode are graphite or carbon- based electrodes.
- Such an electrochemical cell used in step (ii) will also comprise of a cathode wherein the electrons as released at the anode are used to reduce another counter compound. If such a counter compound has a more positive electrode potential than the electrode potential of the reduced ammonia-oxidizing bacteria an electric current between the anode and the cathode results and electric power may be produced.
- the counter compound has a more negative electrode potential than the electrode potential of the reduced ammonia-oxidizing bacteria the required transfer of electrons and resulting electric current between said electrodes is achieved by applying an electric potential difference between the anode and cathode.
- an anode potential of between -0.4 and +1.0V versus a Ag/AgCI reference electrode may be applied. The choice for the anode potential will depend on the desired rate and selectivity of the process.
- the redox potential of the aqueous solution in step (i) is suitably different than the redox potential of the aqueous solution in step (ii) as measured versus a Ag/AgCI reference electrode.
- the redox potential of the aqueous solution in step (i) is more negative than the redox potential of the aqueous solution in step (ii) as measured versus a Ag/AgCI reference electrode.

- Another possible counter compound is ferric iron (Fe3 + ).
- the reaction at the surface of the cathode may be uncatalyzed or catalyzed.
- the material of the cathode may be graphite-based or carbon-based (uncatalyzed) or metal-based.
- Examples of catalyzed cathodes are mixed metal oxide coatings containing Pt, Ir, or other noble metals, on a conductive support like titanium.
- Possible catalysts are Pt, Ir, Cu and microorganisms as present as a biofilm on the cathode.
- the electrochemical cell comprises a cathode which transfers electrons to a compound having a more negative potential than the electrode potential of the anode and wherein a current is provided between anode and cathode such that the transfer of electrons can take place.
- a current is provided between anode and cathode such that the transfer of electrons can take place.

- Flocculant sludge in reactor solution was taken from an activated sludge plant with bio-P removal, treating domestic wastewater, in Bennekom, The Netherlands. This flocculant sludge was composed of a mixture of ammonium oxidizing, nitrite oxidizing and phosphate accumulating bacteria. The flocculant sludge with reactor solution was aerated overnight, to achieve full oxidation. Then, a 3 mM ammonium chloride solution was fed to the sludge with reactor solution. After 3 hours, the flocculant sludge with reactor solution was transferred to an electrochemical cell.
- This electrochemical cell consisted of a graphite rod anode, a reference electrode (Ag/AgCI, 3 M KCI), and a graphite felt cathode (counter electrode).
- electrochemical cell containing flocculant sludge was flushed with N2 gas for 15 min to remove oxygen.
- the anode potential was controlled at +0.3 V vs. Ag/AgCI, 3M KCI in a so-called three electrode set-up and the resulting current was measured during 150 seconds.
- Control experiments were performed on the reactor solution without bacteria but containing ammonia. To obtain this reactor solution without bacteria, the solution was centrifuged at 10,000 rpm for 10 minutes, and the solution was transferred to the electrochemical cell. Current was measured at the same anode potential of 0.3 V vs. Ag/AgCI. The total charge produced in presence of bacteria was 20.6 mC, whereas the reactor solution with ammonia but without bacteria produced 0.8 mC as also shown in Figure 2, showing that indeed bacteria can transfer charge from ammonia to the electrode.
- the sludge after overnight aeration, was fed with 3 mM ammonium.
- concentration of ammonia was measured at different time points. After 12 hours, the ammonia concentration decreased to below detection limit, showing that the bacteria removed ammonia from solution in absence of an electron acceptor. This is believed to result in the charging of bacteria, after which current can be harvested from the bacteria in the electrochemical cell as in example 1.
- aqueous solution consisting of bacteria as harvested as a sludge at the from an activated sludge plant with bio-P removal, treating domestic wastewater, in Bennekom, The Netherlands of Example 1.

- Part of the content of the anaerobic reactor was supplied at a constant rate of 1.26 l/h to the aerobic reactor and at the same rate part of the content of the aerobic reactor was supplied to the anaerobic reactor.
- the liquid circulation between anaerobic and aerobic chamber resulted in the hydraulic retention time (HRT) in the anaerobic chamber was approximately 20 min.
- To the aerobic reactor air was supplied via an air stone to oxidise the reduced ammonia- oxidizing bacteria.
- Example 3 50 ml_ of solution containing ammonia-oxidizing bacteria as obtained after 30 days in Example 3 was taken from the anaerobic chamber and added to an electrochemical cell. This set-up is similar as in Example 1 , except for the anode electrode, which was a graphite felt with a size of 5 x 2 x 1 cm (length x width x height). To remove trace amounts of dissolved oxygen in this 50 ml_ of solution, Argon (Ar) was used to flush the solution for 30 min. The NH4CI stock solution (21 mg-N/l) was then added to the electrochemical cell leading to a ammonium
