摘要
To provide good quality of drinking water, a biological system to remove ammonium-nitrogen (NH4-N) from groundwater was studied in this research. The NH4-N removal system consists of two attached growth reactors: one for nitrification and the other for hydrogenotrophic denitrification (H. denitrification). The nitrification reactor, fed by the NH4-N contained water, could remove NH4-N without any need of aeration. The nitrification efficiency was increased by reactor length; the highest efficiency of 92 % was achieved at the longest reactor of 100 cm. A high Fe in groundwater affected the reactor performance by decreasing the efficiency, while a low inorganic carbon (IC) had no effects. Despite of good efficiency in terms of NH4-N removal, the nitrification reactor increased the concentration of NO3-N in its effluent. To treat the NO3-N, a H. denitrification reactor was set up after the nitrification reactor. Efficiency of the H. denitrification reactor was enhanced by increasing H-2 flow rates. The efficiencies were 3, 27, and 90 % for 30, 50, and 70 mL/min of H-2 flow rates, respectively. It was also found that the NO3-N contained water (water from the nitrification reactor) had to supply IC (i.e., NaHCO3 or CO2) for efficient H. denitrification; however, an on-site reactor showed that it can be achieved even without IC addition. The treated water contained low NH4-N and NO3-N of %26lt; 1.5 and %26lt; 11.3 mg/L, respectively, which comply with drinking water standards. The good performance of the reactors in terms of high efficiency, no aeration need, and low H-2 supply indicated appropriateness of the system for groundwater treatment.
