Abstract

A sequencing batch reactor (SBR) was used to treat synthetic wastewater when dissolved oxygen (DO) concentration and temperature were 0.5-1.0 mg/L, and 30±1°C respectively. Effect of COD/NH₄⁺-N and influent pH on simultaneous nitrification and denitrification (SND) were investigated. The results indicated that removal efficiencies of ammonia nitrogen (NH₄⁺-N), COD and total nitrogen (TN) were higher than 90%, respectively, when influent NH₄⁺-N, COD/NH₄⁺ and influent pH were 35-45 mg/L, 12, 7.0-8.0 under 7 hours of aeration time and 1 hour of idle time, respectively. Therefore, the SBR has obviously achieved simultaneous nitrification and denitrification.
