Dinitrogen oxide (N2O) emission in the treatment of urban wastewater via nitrite: influence of liquid kinetic rates
Courtesy of IWA Publishing
N2O emission was studied in a continuous process via nitrite for real urban wastewater treatment. The relationship between the gaseous forms and the liquid kinetic rates of nitritation and denitritation was investigated. N2O mass load and global nitrogen mass balance were quantified. The emission factor of the N2O (gN2Oemitted/kg mixed liquor volatile suspended solids [MLVSS]/d) was calculated. Incrementing the nitritation rate permits the reduction of N2O emission by 78%. Instead, an N2O decrease of 93% was observed by increasing the denitritation velocity. The determinant role of the anoxic phase in the production of dinitrogen oxide was identified. The contribution of N2O emission from the anoxic phase (4.8 gN2O-N/kgMLVSS/d) was enhanced under limiting denitritation conditions (
