Characteristic Research of Shortcut Denitrification in Synthetic Ammonia Industrial Wastewater Treatment Process
合成氨废水短程反硝化特性研究

Active sludge was from a pilot-scale synthetic ammonia industrial wastewater treatment plant with a strengthen anoxic-oxic (A/O) technology. The zero order kinetic model was suit for describing shortcut and complete denitrification process.Experimental results showed that shortcut denitrification could reduce 14.1% carbon source consumption and 55.7% denitrification time, respectively, comparing with complete denitrification. The maximum specific denitrification rate was 0.509 g·(g·d)-1 with an initial NO2--N concentration of 36.82 mg·L-1 and pH 7.5. In the industrial practice, it must be avoided pH higher than 9.0 in anoxic zone for industrial treatment. Replication-selective denitrifying bacteria showed a strong adaptability to methanol and ethanol, but showed maladaptation to other small molecular and easily biodegradable organics, such as glucose and acetic acid.
