Study on Denitrification Characteristics of a Nitrogen Removal Composite Microbial Agent
In order to improve the efficiency of denitrification in wastewater treatment,the denitrifying strains N1,N9 and N10,which have been screened out in the laboratory,were prepared into a composite microbial agent.The influence of different temperatures,carbon-to-nitrogen ratios(C/N),and carbon source types on the growth and denitrification characteristics of the composite microbial agent was investigated,showing significant practical value.The results showed that 92.61%nitrate nitrogen,60.02%total nitrogen,and 58.48%chemical oxygen demand could be removed by the compound microbial agent under the conditions of 30 ℃,C/N ratio of 10,and soluble starch as the carbon source after 48 h.Moreover,the denitrification effect was substantial within the C/N ratio range of 2 to 10,indicating that the composite denitrification microbial agent could have application prospect in the denitrification process of low C/N ratio wastewater.
