摘要：

在膜曝气生物膜反应器（Membrane-Aerated Biofilm Reactor，MABR）内，底物的异向传质过程促进了生物膜独特结构的形成，凸显其在生物脱氮领域的技术优势。本文首先综述了氮素转化与脱除过程特点及相关优化改进，并通过总结归纳MABR运行机理及应用现状，进一步展望了该技术的发展趋势与方向。

Inside the membrane-aerated biofilm reactor (MABR), the counter-diffusional phenomenon of substrates has facilitated formation of distinct biofilm structure, highlighting the technical advantages in the field of biological nitrogen removal. In this paper, we firstly reviewed the characteristic of the nitrogen conversion and removal process and the optimized development. And then we summarized the operation principle and application status of MABR and further prospected the development tendency and direction.
