Study on Temperature Influence on Nitrogen Removal Properties in Anammox

Abstract:

The nitrogen removal and period tending to be stable of anammox under the temperature 37, 35, 30, 25 and 20 were investigated in a packed-bed anammox biofilm reactor which had already operated stably for 300 days. It was found that the highest NRR(nitrogen removal rate)-75.4% and the shortest variation period of effluent concentration-4h was obtained at 37 °C while the opposite results of the lowest NRR of 48.7% and the longest period of 8h was appeared at 20°C; The inhibition effect at high temperature was investigated: the nitrogen removal rate decreased at the temperature of more than 40°C and drop rapidly to 10% when the temperature increased closed to 60°C. The results of the experiments above showed that the nitrogen removal of anammox can be greatly influent by temperature: from 33 to 37°C was the suitable temperature; the NRR decreases under 30°C and the capable to adapt variation drop with the temperature falling. The NRR decreased under high temperature (more than 40°C) and plenty of anammox died in a short time at 60°C.
