BACKGROUND:In this study, the inductive effect of salinity on nitrite accumulation in a down‐flow hanging sponge (DHS) reactor, developed as a novel and cost‐effective wastewater treatment process, was evaluated by conducting a long‐term continuous experiment lasting more than 1400 days.RESULTS:The influent salinity was controlled by adding NaCl at concentrations ranging from 0 to 25 g Cl−L−1. The effluent nitrite increased with increases in salinity, i.e. the fraction of nitrite to total nitrogen in the effluent increased from 1.6% at 0 g Cl−L−1to 87.6% at 25 g Cl−L−1. Fluorescencein situhybridization (FISH) analysis revealed that as salinity increased, the nitrifying bacterial community in the DHS changed markedly at the species level. In particular, the dominant nitrite‐oxidizing bacteria changed fromNitrospira‐sublineage I at 0 g Cl−L−1toNitrobacterspp. at 15 g Cl−L−1. At 25 g Cl−L−1, no nitrite‐oxidizing bacteria were detected.CONCLUSION:Our findings suggest that the DHS reactor is suitable for cost‐effective nitrite production processes and that salinity control using NaCl is an effective method for inducing nitrite accumulation.
