Please explain the mechanism of action of aerobic biological treatment.
It is a metabolic process in which aerobic and facultative microorganisms are involved, breaking down organic matter into carbon dioxide and water under conditions of dissolved oxygen, while releasing energy. During the oxidation of organic substances, the hydrogen released takes oxygen as its acceptor; for example, C6H12O6 + 6 O2 = 6 CO2 + 6 H2O + 2880 KJ. In aerobic biological treatment, organic substances are broken down quite thoroughly, with the end products being CO2 and H2O, which have lower energy levels. As a result, more energy is released, the metabolic rate is fast, and the resulting products are stable.
