Influence of dissolved oxygen and oxidation–reduction potential on the denitrification rate of activated sludge

The influence of low concentrations of dissolved oxygen (DO) and the oxidation-reduction potential (ORP) on the denitrification activity of activated sludge has been studied in batchwise experiments. The ORP was maintained at different levels by automatic titration with air and the denitrification a...

Description
Summary:The influence of low concentrations of dissolved oxygen (DO) and the oxidation-reduction potential (ORP) on the denitrification activity of activated sludge has been studied in batchwise experiments. The ORP was maintained at different levels by automatic titration with air and the denitrification activity was determined by following the disappearance of nitrate. Oxygen was found to have a negative effect on denitrification even at lower concentrations than can be measured with conventional oxygen probes (
