Experiments have been performed to gain an understanding of the conditions and processes governing the occurrence of SND in activated sludge systems. Sequencing batch reactors (SBRs) have been operated under controlled conditions using the wastewater from the first anaerobic pond in an abattoir wastewater treatment plant. Under specific circumstances, up to 95% of total nitrogen removal through SND has been found in the system. Carbon source and oxygen concentrations were found to be important process parameters. The addition of acetate as an external carbon source resulted in a significant increase of SND activity in the system. Stepwise change of DO concentration has also been observed in this study. Experiments to determine the effect of the floc size on SND have been performed in order to test the hypothesis that SND is a physical phenomenon, governed by the diffusion of oxygen into the activated sludge flocs. Initial results support this hypothesis but further experimental confirmation is still required.

The effect of reduction characteristics of microbe dissimilating of Fe(III) under different activated sludge, carbon source and anoxic/anaerobic condition was studied by activated sludge as inoculum under laboratory condition. The results showed that the maximum accumulation of Fe(Ⅱ) and the reduction rate of Fe(III) inoculated by biological iron mud were higher than that inoculated by conventional activated sludge. The reduction characteristics of Fe(III) was better in nutrient solution as carbon source than that in sewage as carbon source when inoculated biological iron mud. But the reduction characteristics of Fe(III) was better in sewage as carbon source than that in nutrient solution as carbon source when inoculated conventional activated sludge. From the whole test, the reduction characteristics of dissimilating Fe(III) microbe under anaerobic condition were better than that under anoxic condition.

A model activated sludge (AS) plant was fed by pulping effluents from a straw and reed processing paper works. The model was initially operated to simulate a dedicated treatment plant by continuously receiving chlorinated effluents from the pulp bleachery. In this simulation cycle the model activated sludge was seeded only once during start-up and did not receive any domestic sewage after that. A carbon source was added in some of the experiments to bring up the organic content. In the second simulation cycle the pulping effluent was co-treated with municipal sewage. In this case the activated sludge unit was being continuously dosed by microorganisms and the organics present in the sewage. A higher organic chlorine (AOX) removal was obtained at shorter SRTs in the co-treatment AS. High AOX removal was achieved at longer SRTs in the dedicated, once-seeded AS. The AOX removal mechanism was mineralization in both cycles.
