Regarding the issue of ammonification
Thread Content
Our company only carries out ammonification of wastewater; nitration and denitrification are not performed, so ammonia nitrogen levels rise. Is there any way to prevent ammonia nitrogen or inhibit ammonification? In this way, ammonia nitrogen will not increase.
Ammonification is difficult to avoid, as it occurs rapidly under both anaerobic and aerobic conditions; generally, ammonification takes place in the municipal pipelines leading to wastewater treatment plants for urban wastewater, and the same is true for industrial wastewater. Two methods: 1. Reduce ammonia nitrogen and organic nitrogen entering the wastewater ； 2. Wastewater treatment uses nitrification to remove ammonia nitrogen, and denitrification to remove nitrate nitrogen.
Anaerobic ammonia oxidation refers to the biooxidation process that occurs under anaerobic conditions, in which microorganisms use NH4+ as an electron donor and NO3- or NO2- as electron acceptors to convert NH4+, NO3-, or NO2- into N2. It is a biochemical transformation process induced by anaerobic ammonia-oxidizing bacteria, which enables ammonia oxidation and nitrogen removal under anaerobic conditions.
Ammonification is inevitable, whether under aerobic or anaerobic conditions. To prevent an increase in ammonia nitrogen, the only option is to improve the efficiency of nitrification/denitrification.
