Despite continuous developments of manufacturing technology for micro-devices and nano-devices, fabrication errors still exist during the manufacturing process. To reduce manufacturing costs and save time, it is necessary to analyze the effects of fabrication errors on the performances of micro-/nano-devices, such as the dielectric metasurface-based metalens. Here, we mainly analyzed the influences of fabrication errors in dielectric metasurface-based metalens, including geometric size and shape of the unit element, on the focusing efficiency and the full width at half maximum (FWHM) values. Simulation results demonstrated that the performance of the metasurface was robust to fabrication errors within a certain range, which provides a theoretical guide for the concrete fabrication processes of dielectric metasurfaces.
Phenol and ammonia are common pollutants in many industrial wastewaters. The partial nitritation and anammox process is a very promising technology for treating phenol–ammonia wastewater. This study was the first time to rapidly achieve the start‐up and operation of the single‐stage partial nitritation /anammox reactor treating phenol–ammonia wastewater. The optimized ratio of phenol and nitrogen (phenol/NH4+‐N=0.3) was set to start‐up the reactor. After 60 days of operation, the total nitrogen and COD removal efficiencies were around 73.0% and 79.5%, respectively. The activity of ammonium‐oxidizing bacteria was291.1 ± 3.0 mg NH4+‐N g−1MLVSS d−1 and the specific anammox activity was 20.9 ± 1.0 mg NH4+‐N g−1MLVSS d−1. The results indicated that the anammox bacteria had adapted to phenol condition and remained stable activity after the 60 days’ operation in the reactor. The sequence analysis of 16SrRNA showed that the microbial community structure evolved to a balanced distribution that the removals of phenol and ammonia could be achieved simultaneously. Practitioner Points Phenol/N ratio of 0.3 was set to start up the single‐stage partial nitritation/anammox reactor. The single‐stage partial nitritation /anammox reactor was rapidly started up when treating the phenol‐ammonia wastewater. Total nitrogen removal rate and COD removal efficiencies could achieve to 73.0% and 79.5%, respectively. Microbial community structure evolved to stable distribution of which AOB, anammox bacteria, denitrification bacteria and heterotrophic nitrification bacteria coexisted.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
