Effect of temperature and pH value on the growth-rate constants of nitrifying bacteria in the activated-sludge process

The specific growth rates of nitrifying organisms were determined under non-equilibrium conditions in laboratory-scale activated sludge plants at three temperatures and six pH values. The highest growth rate for the first stage (to nitrite) was 0.61 d −1; no nitrification was observed over a 7 week...

Zusammenfassung:The specific growth rates of nitrifying organisms were determined under non-equilibrium conditions in laboratory-scale activated sludge plants at three temperatures and six pH values. The highest growth rate for the first stage (to nitrite) was 0.61 d −1; no nitrification was observed over a 7 week period at pH 6.0 at any temperature, indicating a μ value of
