In this study, a two-stage anaerobic ammonium oxidation (anammox) system—including a partial nitritation system with a biological selector (PNBS) and a granular activated carbon-based granule anammox process (GAP) —was used for the treatment of real high-strength rare-earth ammonia wastewater (HRAW)...

In this paper, one partial nitritation system with biological selector (PNBS) was first evaluated in treating high-strength ammonia containing wastewater. Nitrite production rate (NPR) of 8.25 kg N m -3 d -1 was achieved with influent NH4-N concentration 2000 mg l -1 and HRT 3.2 h, which is, to our...

This paper reviews the problem of foaming associated with the activated sludge process and its control using various physical, chemical and biological methods. Activated sludge process is widely used for treatment of every type of wastewater like industrial, domestic and municipal wastewater. This...
