Reactor conditions and effluent concentrations during the experimental period. Average values and standard deviation (SD). The influent (synthetic wastewater) contained 314 mg N L−1 as ammonium. HRT = hydraulic retention time; DO = dissolved oxygen.
Flow (L h−1) | HRT (h) | Temp (°C) | pH | DO (mg L−1) | NH4+ (mg N L−1) | NO2− (mg N L−1) | NO3− (mg N L−1) | N removal | |
