Aerobic denitrification occuring in the biofilms attached to a partially submerged RBC, was investigated. Denitrification using polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) as a organic carbon source, was well proceeded by aerobic RBC systems at 25 °C. At an influent C/N ratio of around 1.2, the maximum net-denitrification efficiency was about 78% at a TOC loading of 2g/m2/d. In a chemostat experiment, aerobic denitrification was well proceeded under the dissolved oxygen concentration of 3 to 6 mg/L. The PVA-decomposing bacteria, nitrifiers, and denitrifiers co-existed in the biofilm, but the population of PVA-decomposing bacteria and denitrifiers in the surface layer was 1 to 2 orders of magnitude higher than those in the middle and bottom layers. It may indicate that the surface layer had a higher denitrifying activity. The nitrogen mass balance obtained using the experimental data clearly indicates a reasoning for aerobic denitrification.

Enriched domestication in SBR was used to improve the proportion of aerobic denitrifiers in activated sludge, and actual power plant wastewater was treated, which proved the existence of aerobic denitrification. But at the later stage, because of carbon deficiency, aerobic denitrifiers were inhibited and NO3--N accumulated. Sodium acetate used as external organic carbon source was added when reaction carried on 3.5 hours to improve the COD/NH4+-N ratio from 6.5 to 10, effluent NO3--N concentration was 3.6 mg\L, average removal efficiency of TN was 90%, which could improve the aerobic denitrification performance of whole system effectively.

The behaviour of copper and insulation paper in various electrical insulating fluids (transformer oils) exposed to thermal ageing at 110�30C for 1000 hours in closed vessels (without access to atmospheric oxygen) has been studied. The processing of the comparative experimental data revealed in all cases that the concentration of dissolved oxygen in the investigated oils decreases exponentially during the heat treatment. In the presence of the copper foil, the oxygen is almost depleted (the dissolved oxygen concentration is approaching zero), indicating a higher affinity of the copper to oxygen than the affinity to oxygen of the investigated oils. In the presence of the copper foil and / or of the insulation paper, the degradation processes of the mineral oils have a pronounced character, explained by the catalytic activity of the Cu2O film that has been formed and by the paper degradation, respectively. A high thermo-oxidative stability was noticed in the case of natural triglyceride oils, particularly for the synthetic ester-based oil.
