Simultaneous nitrification and denitrification in continuous flow MBBR with novel surface-modified carriers

Tao Liu et al.

Summary: The study introduced novel surface-modified carriers with favorable hydrophilicity and positive surface charge for simultaneous nitrification and denitrification in the MBBR system. Results showed higher removal efficiencies of COD, NH4+-N, and TN in the MBBR filled with surface-modified carriers compared to conventional carriers. The improved performance was attributed to the higher biomass and functional bacteria abundance on the novel carriers, providing a niche for various types of functional bacteria to participate in nitrogen removal.
