Biological nitrate removal processes from drinking water supply-a review
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper reviews both heterotrophic and autotrophic processes for the removal of nitrate from water supplies. The most commonly used carbon sources in heterotrophic denitrification are methanol, ethanol and acetic acid. Process performance for each feed stock is compared with particular reference nitrate and nitrite residual and to toxicity potential. Autotrophic nitrate removal has the advantages of not requiring an organic carbon source; however the slow growth rate of autotrophic bacteria and low nitrate removal rate have contributed to the fact that relatively few full scale plants are in operation at the present time.

MicrosoftInternetExplorer4 Background and Objectives: Contamination of drinking water sources with nitrate may cause adverse effects on human health. Due to operational and maintenance problems of physicochemical nitrate removal processes, using biological denitrification processes have been performed. The aim of this study is to evaluate nitrate removal efficiency from drinking water usin...
متن کاملNitrate Removal with Sulfur-limestone Autotrophic Denitrification Processes: Application and Kinetics
Nitrate contamination in ground and surface water has become an increasingly serious problem in the world. As an alternative biological denitrification process, sulfur-limestone autotrophic denitrification processes (SLAD) can be used for nitrate removal in water or wastewater that contains a limited amount of organic carbon sources. This paper summarizes applications of SLAD processes for nitr...

Nitrate-nitrogen (NO3-N) in groundwater is becoming a ubiquitous problem, particularly in rural and suburban areas where domestic water supplies are obtained from individual on-lot water supply wells. Nitrate in groundwater can come from natural sources such as soil, bedrock and organic material; however, the overwhelming loading of nitrate originates from anthropogenic sources, particularly ag...

Introduction: Application of point-of-use (POU) drinking water treatment units is expanding across the world due to the increased concerns about the adverse health effects of water pollution. The main treatment systems of these devices are mostly activated carbon and nano-filter or reverse osmosis. Materials and Methods: This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of using POU units on phy...
