Aerobic biological nitrification using biomass granulates

摘要

Effluents contaminated with NH.sub.4.sup.+ values, e.g., domestic sewage, are purified by aerobic biological nitrification within a bed of biomass granulates, e.g., a fluidized bed, such granulates comprising a nitrification effective amount of at least one nitrifying microorganism firmly adhered to support, preferably carbonate granules consumable thereby.
