Development of a novel rotational sponge (RS) reactor for nitrification process

摘要

RS reactor was able to achieve P-OTR and KLa 681.8 mgL~（-1）d~（-1） and 108.4 d~（-1）respectively at rotational speed of 40 rounds per hour, which is combatively very high value to the conventional RBCs. RS reactor, demonstrated almost complete nitrification with 1(±0.25) mgL~（-1） NH4~+-N effluent concentration. However, it is imperative to conduct long-term assessment for different NH4~+-N loading to identify the full potential of this system.
