Effect of gradual increase of salt on performance and microbial community during granulation process.

Salinity was considered to have effects on the characteristics, performance microbial communities of aerobic granular sludge. This study investigated granulation process with gradual increase of salt under different gradients. Two identical sequencing batch reactors were operated, while the influent of Ra and Rb was subjected to stepwise increments of NaCl concentrations (0-4 g/L and 0-10 g/L).

Nitrate and nitrite utilization during denitrifying phosphorus removal: Electron acceptor preference and feasible process combinations.

Denitrifying phosphorus removal (DPR), which is dominated by denitrifying polyphosphate-accumulating organisms (DPAOs), is a promising process for nitrogen and phosphorus removal. Denitrifying glycogen-accumulating organisms (DGAOs) and DPAOs typically coexist in the DPR sludge, complicating the study of DPAOs' denitrification capacity. In this study, two reactors were fed with nitrate and nitrite during the anoxic phase to cultivate nitrate-DPR and nitrite-DPR sludge.

[Removal Efficiency and Mechanism of Ammonia Nitrogen in a Low Temperature Groundwater Purification Process].

To explore the mechanism and efficiency of ammonia nitrogen removal, a pilot-scale biofilter for the simultaneous removal of high concentrations of iron, manganese, and ammonia nitrogen[Fe(Ⅱ) 11.9-14.8 mg·L, Mn(Ⅱ) 1.
