In order to accelerate the start-up of biological activated carbon (BAC) filters and enhance ammonium (NH4+-N) removal performance, three substrates (sucrose and/or nano manganese dioxide (nMnO2)) pre-loaded BAC filters were set up to investigate the pollutants removals and microbiological characteristics for a long-term operation of 197 days. The average NH4+-N removal performance treated by the sucrose coupled with nMnO2loaded BAC filter was the highest (71.18 %), which was 3.83 times of that by the control filter (18.58 %). 29 % of NH4+-N treated by the sucrose coupled with nMnO2loaded BAC removed through the traditional nitrification and denitrification, or simultaneous nitrification and denitrification (SND) pathways according to the calculation of the alkalinity consumption (6.12 mmol/L). There was no leakage of carbon source and Mn, and no accumulation of nitrite from the substrates loaded BAC. The dominant bacteria in the sucrose coupled with nMnO2loaded BAC wereDechloromona(accounting for 8.02% of the total bacterial) andAcidaminobacter(accounting for 15.16% of total bacterial) on the Day 180, which had the capacity of nitrification or denitrification. NH4+-N and micropollutants removals treated by the combined process of peracetic acid (PAA) pre-oxidation and substrates loaded BAC were significant due to the generation of assimilable organic carbon (AOC) (5.98 ± 1.93 μg-C/mL) by PAA (100 μM)/Fe2+pre-oxidation and the higher biomass ((4.57 ± 3.07) × 107cells/g DW BAC) in the sucrose coupled with nMnO2loaded BAC filter. Therefore, nMnO2coupling carbon source pre-loading strategy could not only enhance initial colonization, but also promote pollutants removals for long-term operation.
