摘要: A preliminary investigation is described on the application of calorimetry as a sensitive technique to evaluate nitrifying activity in activated sludge. Calorimetric profiles (thermograms) related heat dissipation due biological nitrification reactions (ammonia or nitrite consumption) have been interpreted. Correlations between calorimetric data and main process variables, i.e. ammonia concentration oxygen uptake, verified, confirm potential investigate, monitor control even weakly exothermic processes like autotrophic nitrification. Heat yields (Y(Q/i)) for ammonia, nitrite, oxygen, defined released per unit amount converted reactant, separately evaluated. Moreover, experiments sludge from full-scale nitrogen removal wastewater treatment plant carried out kinetic parameters both oxidising bacteria estimated.
