Nitrous oxide (N₂O) and nitric oxide (NO) emissions from domestic wastewater treatment had been widely investigated due to their severe greenhouse effect and stratospheric ozone depletion. Researches concerning N₂O and NO emissions from industrial wastewater treatment which usually contain high concentrations of nitrogen and refractory organics were still limited. In this study, N₂O and NO emissions from a biological aerated filter (BAF) for coking wastewater treatment were investigated that achieved efficient nitrogen and chemical oxygen demand (COD) removal efficiency through short-cut nitrification and denitrification. Notably, emission factor of N₂O and NO reached 23.58% and 0.09% respectively, much higher than those emitted from most domestic wastewater treatment plants. Moreover, batch experiments revealed that nitrifier denitrification contributed as high as 97.17% and 93.89% of the total generated N₂O and NO, which was supposed to be the main source of green-house gases (GHGs) during coking wastewater treatment. The inhibition of denitrifying reductase by the toxic components in coking wastewater and the severe nitrite accumulations were key factors promoting the high emission of N₂O and NO. Microbial community analysis based on high throughput sequencing of 16S rRNA gene revealed that ammonia-oxidizing bacteria and denitrifying bacteria distributed abundantly in the BAF reactor, while nitrite-oxidizing bacteria was almost absent. The huge imbalance between NO and N₂O reductase was an underlying explanation for the high N₂O emission in the present coking wastewater treatment according to Phylogenetic Investigation of Communities by Reconstruction of Unobserved States (PICRUSt) result. This study is of great significance to understanding the high N₂O and NO emission and developing the control strategy when treating industrial wastewater with high-strength nitrogen and refractory organics.
