To demonstrate the variation and affecting factors of dissolved oxygen under different aeration strategies in polluted urban river sediment, simulation systems constructed with collected sediment and in situ overlaying water were aerated up or beneath the sediment-water interface 6 h day⁻¹ for 15 days. The results showed that aeration greatly altered the spatial pattern of DO in overlying water regardless of the way of treatment. Within the first 5 min of aeration, DO in overlying water increases rapidly from 0.86–3.13 mg L⁻¹ to the saturated range of 6.12–8.14 mg L⁻¹. During the first 5 days, aeration to water costed 5 min to reach the highest DO, while aeration to sediment costed 30 min to reach a lower highest level of DO in overlaying water. Analysis showed that DO was significantly negatively correlated with NO₂ ⁻-N and COD Mₙ , suggesting that DO was synergistically consumed by biochemical processes of organic matter degradation and nitrification. Aeration to sediment (ES group) and aeration to water (EW group) differently influenced nitrification and organic matter degradation. After daily aeration treatment, nitrification was the main oxygen-depleting process in EW group, especially after the action of the second stage of nitrification, where organic matter was probably largely degraded during aeration. However, in ES group, DO was consumed by both organic matter oxidation and nitrification processes.
