Abstract
The study summarizes the necessary revisions for initiating the nitrification process in a full-scale leachate treatment plant that operates in a warm climate including dynamic simulation and kinetic characterization studies that were conducted to determine the nitrification kinetics. Following its commissioning, the process temperature in the plant reached high temperatures during the first six months of operation and failed to achieve complete nitrification. The process temperature was lowered from 40°C to 30°C with the aid of surface aerators installed in the anoxic volume of the bioreactor. With the selection of appropriate aerator capacity, besides reducing the temperature of the activated sludge, an 80% total nitrogen removal was achieved. Furthermore, as a result of dynamic simulation and kinetic studies, the maximum specific growth rates for ammonia-oxidizing bacteria (AOB) and nitrite-oxidizing bacteria (NOB) at a process temperature of 30°C were determined to be 0.85 day−1 and 0.56 day−1, respectively, around neutral pH.
期刊介绍:
Water, Air, & Soil Pollution is an international, interdisciplinary journal on all aspects of pollution and solutions to pollution in the biosphere. This includes chemical, physical and biological processes affecting flora, fauna, water, air and soil in relation to environmental pollution. Because of its scope, the subject areas are diverse and include all aspects of pollution sources, transport, deposition, accumulation, acid precipitation, atmospheric pollution, metals, aquatic pollution including marine pollution and ground water, waste water, pesticides, soil pollution, sewage, sediment pollution, forestry pollution, effects of pollutants on humans, vegetation, fish, aquatic species, micro-organisms, and animals, environmental and molecular toxicology applied to pollution research, biosensors, global and climate change, ecological implications of pollution and pollution models. Water, Air, & Soil Pollution also publishes manuscripts on novel methods used in the study of environmental pollutants, environmental toxicology, environmental biology, novel environmental engineering related to pollution, biodiversity as influenced by pollution, novel environmental biotechnology as applied to pollution (e.g. bioremediation), environmental modelling and biorestoration of polluted environments.
Articles should not be submitted that are of local interest only and do not advance international knowledge in environmental pollution and solutions to pollution. Articles that simply replicate known knowledge or techniques while researching a local pollution problem will normally be rejected without review. Submitted articles must have up-to-date references, employ the correct experimental replication and statistical analysis, where needed and contain a significant contribution to new knowledge. The publishing and editorial team sincerely appreciate your cooperation.
Water, Air, & Soil Pollution publishes research papers; review articles; mini-reviews; and book reviews.
