In this study, the differences in EPS characteristics of different types of sludge were investigated, and it was found that anammox granular sludge has higher flocculation ability, primarily due to its higher zeta potential, hydrophobicity, and intermolecular hydrogen bond ratio.
Extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) are considered crucial components in the formation of microbial aggregates such as biofilms, flocs and granules. However, the role of EPS in sludge aggregation is still unclear. In this study, the differences in EPS characteristics of anammox granular sludge (AG), anammox floc sludge (AF) and activated floc sludge (AS) were investigated to clarify its role in granular aggregation. The results showed that the flocculation ability of EPS extracted from AG (62.8 +/- 2.3%) was notably higher than that of EPS extracted from AF (35.7 +/- 1.7%) and AS (17.3 +/- 1.5%). The zeta potential and hydrophobicity of EPS showed the same tendency. In addition, the PN/PS ratio of AG, AF and AS were 7.66, 4.62 and 3.93, respectively. FTIR, XPS and 3D-EEM fluorescence spectra results revealed that anammox granular sludge has a higher ratio of hydrophobic groups, alpha-helixs/(beta-sheets and random coils), intermolecular hydrogen bonds, and aromatic amino acids, and a lower ratio of electronegative groups. Anammox granular sludge exhibited high aggregation ability, because its EPS had higher zeta potential, hydrophobicity and intermolecular hydrogen bond ratio. This work provides a better understanding of the high aggregation ability of anammox granules and a theoretical basis for improving granules proportion and retention ability of microbes in reactor system.
