A bio-ceramic reactor for slightly polluted source water from Guanting Reservoir in Beijing was conducted at low temperature. It was shown that the removal rate of CODMn and NH4(+)-N decreased from 20% to 6%, 90% to 65% respectively when the temperature fell from 10 degrees C to 0.5 degree C. The main factor affecting the efficiency of bio-ceramic reactor was the microbial activity which decreased more than the biomass when the temperature dropped. Microbial activity and biomass in the bio-ceramic reactor were in a regular pattern of gradient distribution from the lower to the upper along the direction of raw water flow.

Dissolved organic nitrogen (DON) can act as precursor of nitrogenous disinfection by-products formed during chlorination disinfection. The performances of biological fluidized bed (continuous stirred tank reactor, CSTR) and bio-ceramic filters (plug flow reactor, PFR) were compared in this study to investigate the influence of mixing regime on DON formation in drinking water treatment. In the shared influent, DON ranged from 0.

Nitrate wastewater is processed in a bio-ceramic reactor based on hydrogen autotrophic denitrification. The implementation procedure of biological denitrification by hydrogen autotrophic denitrification was investigated. The effects of hydraulic retention time, influent nitrate load, influent pH, temperature and the amount of hydrogen were assessed throughout this trial.

The stability and parameters of a bio-ceramic filter for completely autotrophic nitrogen removal were investigated. The completely autotrophic nitrogen removal over nitrite (CANON) reactor was fed with different concentrations of ammonia (400, 300, and 200 mg N/L) but constant influent ammonia load. The results showed that the CANON system can achieve good treatment performance at ambient temperature (15-23 degrees C).

Bio-ceramic filter(BF) and moving-bed biofilm reactor (MBBR) were used for biological pretreatment of Yellow River water in this study. The BF only had slight advantage over MBBR for TOC and ammonia removal. However, like UV254, the average removal rate of THMFP in the BF was much higher than that in the MBBR.
