          Abstract

          Abstract Two calculation models of the Specific Denitrification Rate (SDNR) are analyzed to highlight the sensitivity of this parameter to the Food:Microorganisms ratio in the denitrification reactor (F:MDEN). One of these models is empirical while the second was elaborated on a deterministic basis. Both models reveal a linear dependence of SDNR20°C on F:MDEN and in a first approximation they are comparable only in a narrow range of concentration of dissolved oxygen (DO) in denitrification, specifically DO=0.25-0.35 mg L-1. These values frequently occur in well designed and well operated sewage treatment plants. Outside this range, the role of F:MDEN must necessarily be examined in combination with DO because of the relevant influence of the latter on the efficiency of the denitrification process.

          Resumo Dois modelos de cálculo do SDNR-Specific Denitrification Rate são analisados para destacar a sensibilidade deste parâmetro em relação à fração Alimento/Microrganismos no reator de desnitrificação (A: MDEN). Um desses modelos é empírico, enquanto o segundo foi elaborado em uma base determinística. Ambos os modelos revelam uma dependência linear de SDNR20°C em A:MDEN e, em primeira aproximação, eles são comparáveis apenas dentro de uma faixa estreita de concentração de oxigênio dissolvido (OD) na desnitrificação, especificamente OD=0,25-0,35 mg L-1. Esses valores ocorrem frequentemente em estações de tratamento de esgoto bem projetadas e operadas. Fora dessa faixa, o papel do A:MDEN precisa ser examinado em combinação com o OD devido à influência relevante deste último na eficiência do processo de desnitrificação.

          Physico-chemical technologies for nitrogen removal from wastewaters: a review

          The paper examines the main physico-chemical processes for nitrogen removal from wastewaters, considering both those that have been long known and still widely applied at the industrial scale, and those that are still at the research level. Special attention is paid to the latest technological developments, as well as to operational problems and fields of application. The processes considered are briefly summarized as follows: ammonia air and steam stripping; ammonia vacuum distillation; ammonia precipitation as struvite; ammonia and nitrate removal by selected ion exchange; breakpoint chlorination; chloramine removal by selected activated carbon; ammonia adsorption on charcoal; chemical reduction of nitrate; advanced oxidation processes to convert ammonia and organic-N into nitrogen gas or nitrate. Special attention is given to advanced oxidation processes, as great research efforts are currently addressed to their implementation. These specifically include ozonation, peroxon oxidation, catalytic wet air oxidation, photo-catalytic oxidation and electrochemical oxidation.

            Advances in wastewater nitrogen removal by biological processes: state of the art review

            Abstract The paper summarizes the state-of-the-art of the most recent advances in biological nitrogen removal, including process design criteria and technological innovations. With reference to the Modified Ludzck Ettinger (MLE) process (pre-denitrification and nitrification in the activated sludge process), the most common nitrogen removal process used nowadays, a new design equation for the denitrification reactor based on specific denitrification rate (SDNR) has been proposed. In addition, factors influencing SDNR (DO in the anoxic reactor; hydrodynamic behavior) are analyzed, and technological solutions are proposed. Concerning technological advances, the paper presents a summary of various "deammonification" processes, better known by their patent names like ANAMMOX(r), DEMON(r), CANON(r), ANITA(r) and others. These processes have already found applications in the treatment of high-strength wastewater such as digested sludge liquor and landfill leachate. Among other emerging denitrification technologies, consideration is given to the Membrane Biofilm Reactors (MBfRs) that can be operated both in oxidation and reduction mode.
