Title
Nirongen Removal from Wastewater Using Anammox Process
이상범 Sang-bum Lee , 김영희 Younghee Kim
Abstract
The anaerobic ammonium oxidation(ANAMMOX) process is a newly developed process for nitrogen removal. It was originally discovered in a denitrifying fluidized-bed reactor in 1995. ANAMMOX microbial uses ammonia as the electron donor for oxidation by nitrite as the electron acceptor to produce nitrogen gas as the final end product. In this study, the 2-stage anammox process was operated about 180 days and the efficiency of nitrogen removal was evaluated. It could remove about 74.8% of incoming nitrogen as ammonium and nitrite, and leaves about 30% of nitrogen as nitrate in the effluent. This process is considered to be a promising and sustainable process, to treat high strength ammonia wastewater.
