Biological denitrification in a fluidized bed
Journal Article
·
· Biotechnol. Bioeng.; (United States)
A fluidized bed biofilm reactor using sand as the carrier particle was employed to study the effects of superficial velocity on the removal of nitrates as well as on the growth of the biofilm. Velocity was found to affect significantly both nitrate removal and biofilm growth. An analysis based on heterogenous catalysis was used to describe the denitrification process. There is good agreement between analysis and experimental measurements for startup and steady-state operating conditions.
