Biyolojik Azot Giderim Prosesinde Sınırlı Amonyum Değişiminin Etkisi

Bu çalışmanın temel amacı, biyolojik azot gideriminden sorumlu heterotrofik denitrifikasyon prosesinde değişen sınırlı amonyum konsantrasyonlarının etkisini araştırmaktır. Sistem performansı 100 mg NO3- L-1 sabit giriş nitrat konsantrasyonunda 20 mgNH4 + -N L-1'den kademeli olarak azalan amonyum azotu konsantrasyonları ile değerlendirilmiştir. Bu çalışmanın sonuçları, amonyum konsantrasyonlarındaki değişimin nitrat giderme etkinliğini belirgin bir şekilde etkilememesine rağmen, reaksiyonun sonunda kalıntı amonyum bulunmaması nedeniyle 5 mg L-1'lik giriş amonyum-azotu konsantrasyonunda toplam azot giderim veriminin maksimum seviyeye ulaştığını göstermiştir. Buna ek olarak, nitrat tüketim hızı giriş amonyum konsantrasyonun sınırlanması ile artış eğiliminde iken, amonyum bulunmayan işletim koşulunda nitrat tüketim hızı, 85,4 mg NO3--N gMLSS-1 sa-1olarak maksimum seviyeye ulaşmıştır. Maksimum amonyum tüketim oranı, 5 mgL-1'lik amonyum azotuyla, 18,4 mg NH4+-N gMLSS sa-1 olarak elde edilmiştir.

The Effect of Limited Ammonium Variations on Biological Nitrogen Removal Process

The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of varying limited ammonium concentrations on the heterotrophic denitrification process responsible for biological nitrogen removal. The system performance was evaluated with gradually decreasing ammonium-nitrogen concentrations from 20 mgNH4+-N L-1to inexistent ammonium inlet at 100 mgNO3- L-1. Results of this study indicated that the total nitrogen removal efficiency reached maximum level at influent ammonium-nitrogen of 5 mg L-1due to the absence of residual ammonium at the end of the reaction, although varying ammonium concentrations did not noticeably affect the nitrate removal efficiency. Additionally, nitrate consumption rate had a tendency to increase with the limitation of influent ammonia and the nitrate consumption rate reached maximum level at operational condition where ammonium was not present, corresponding to 85.4 mgNO3--N gMLSS-1h-1. The maximum ammonium consumption rate have attained with influent ammonium-nitrogen of 5 mg L-1, being 18.4 mgNH4+-N gMLSS-1h-1.
