Bamboo as Solid Carbon Source for De-Nitrification

Article Preview

Abstract:

This study was conducted to investigate the efficiency and characteristics of de-nitrification using bamboo as solid phase carbon source in a batch and continuous flow mode. Compared to no solid phase carbon source system, the higher nitrate-N removal efficiency and the less nitrite-N accumulation was observed in a de-nitrification system by using bamboo as solid phase carbon source. The results showed that nitrate-N volumetric load averaged between 2.09 mg/L.h when filamentous bamboo as single carbon source, and mean nitrite-N accumulations was only 0.23 mg as 1 g nitrate-N was removed. Moreover, temperature was an important influencing factor for nitrate-N volumetric load and nitrite accumulation. In addition, refractory organic compounds and nitrate-N can simultaneous remove.
