The removal of ammonia-nitrogen (NH4+–N) in water by activated attapulgite was investigated. The study focuses on the effect of different activated attapulgite. The influence factors include microwave power, heating time and pH value in solution. The results show that heating 4 minutes, microwave power of 89 watts, and pH value of 9 are the best conditions to remove NH4+-N in the wastewater and the removal efficiency can above 80%. The attapulgite activated by microwave and alkali can remove NH4+-N in breeding waste effectively and the removal efficiency can reach 84.15%.

Two laboratory upflow aerobic and anaerobic filters fed with synthetic wastewaters were used to study firstly the effects of aeration rate on the nitrification of anaerobically pre-treated effluents and secondly the effects of recycle-to-influent ratios on methane production rate, denitrification and nitrification performances of a combined aerobic and anaerobic wastewater treatment process. Nitrification of anaerobically pre-treated effluent was accompanied by aerobic post-treatment for residual COD removal. A comparison of nitrification performances using autotrophic medium and anaerobically pre-treated effluents (containing 1203 mg COD 1−1) with the same ammonia nitrogen concentration of about 300 mg NH4-N 1−1 showed that 3% of added ammonia nitrogen was assimilated by autotrophic nitrifiers during nitrification of the autotrophic medium while up to 30% was assimilated by both nitrifiers and heterotrophs during organic carbon removal and nitrification of anaerobically pre-treated effluent. Furthermore, it was suspected that significant nitrogen loss through denitrification occured in the aerobic filter especially at low aeration rates. In the study of the combined aerobic-anaerobic system, maximum ammonia nitrogen removal of 70% through denitrification was obtained at recycle-to-influent ratios of 4 and 5. COD removal efficiency in the anaerobic filter decreased from 77 to 60% for recycle-to-influent ratios of zero to 5. Overall COD removal efficiency of the entire system was constant at about 99% due to heterotrophic COD removal in the aerobic filter.

The influences of adsorption temperature, adsorption time, dosing quantity, adsorption environment pH value, initial concentration and bamboo charcoal type on adsorption of bamboo charcoal adsorb ammonia nitrogen in wastewater are studied. The result shows that the maximum adsorption values are 1.1715 mg/g and 0.9115 mg/g respectively at 25°C and 40°C. Bamboo charcoal can easily absorb ammonia nitrogen at low temperature condition. 180 min is a suitable adsorption time. Increasing bamboo charcoal dosing quantity is helpful to improve efficiencies of ammonia nitrogen removal in wastewater, but the adsorption capacity is declining as bamboo charcoal dosing quantity increasing. Solution pH value has a great impact on the adsorbed amount, the adsorbed effect in alkaline solution is much better than in acid one’s. The adsorption ability of the moderate temperature bamboo charcoal is higher than the high temperature one’s.

The ammonia nitrogen (NH4-N) removal enhanced by biological aerobic filter (BAF) packed with novel micro-mesoporous lightweight zeolite particles (LZP) as carrier. The results showed that the biofilm can quickly grow up using LZP as media in the BAF. HLR of 1.2 was chosen as the optimal value under the average influent NH4+-N concentration of 24.6 mg/L, percent NH4-N removal of 87% and NLR of 0.24 kgN/m3.d was achieved. The kinetic performance of the LZP-BAF indicated that the relationship of NH4-N removal efficiency with the L could be described by an exponential equation (Ce/Ci=exp (-1.24/L0.344)).

The montmorillonite supported nanozero-valent iron material (MT-NZVI) was synthesized to remove cadmium (Cd). The results showed that the removal efficiency of MT-NZVI on cadmium was much higher than that of montmorillonite (MT), and the removal efficiency of MT-NZVI on cadmium reduced with the increase of the initial concentration and the pH value, but increased with the increase of the dosage.

This study focuses on nitrification through a biological aerated filter (BAF) that is filled with a zeolite medium at low concentrations of ammonia. The zeolite medium consists of natural zeolite powder. The BAF is operated under two types of media, which are a ball-type zeolite medium and expanded poly propylene (EPP) medium. Nitrification occurred in the zeolite BAF (ZBAF) when the influent concentration of ammonia nitrogen was 3 mg L-1, but the BAF that was filled with an EPP medium did not experience nitrification. The ammonia nitrogen removal efficiency of ZBAF was 63.38% and the average nitrate nitrogen concentration was 1.746 mg/L. The ZBAF was tested again after a comparison experiment to treat pond water, and municipal wastewater mixed pond water. The ZBAF showed remarkable ammonia-nitrogen treatment at low concentration and low temperature. During this period, the average ammonia nitrogen removal efficiency was 64.56%. Especially, when water temperature decreased to 4.7℃, ammonia nitrogen removal efficiency remained 79%. On the other hand, the chemical-oxygen demand (COD) and phosphorus-removal trends were different. The COD and phosphorus did not show as efficient treatment as the ammonia-nitrogen treatment.

With rapid development of food industry, the production of soybean sauce is increasing in recent years. The sauce wastewater is doing greater and greater harm to the water environment. In order to tackle this problem, the operation time on the sauce wastewater treatment were investigated. The results showed that the process has a better effect for ammonia nitrogen, the orthophosphate and COD removal. The effluent ammonia nitrogen was less than 5mg/L and the ammonia nitrogen removal efficiency could reach about 90% with the aeration time 2 h-3.5 h. The orthophosphate increased during the anoxic stage while decreased during the aerobic stage. At the end of the aerobic stage, the orthophosphate concentration and the COD could reach about 1mg/L and 21 mg/L respectively when aeration time was 2 h-3.5 h. The better operation time (the aeration time) was at 2 h-3.5 h and the system could get a good water quality for sauce wastewater treatment.

Landfill leachate treatment is a major problem to be solved in the field of environmental protection, and ammonia nitrogen is one of the major pollutants in landfill leachate, whose processing technology needs further improvement. In this paper, ultrasound/ultraviolet co-oxidation technology was directly applied to the treatment of high concentration landfill leachate without the pretreatment operations of dilution, filter, and adjusting the pH conditions. The results showed that: ultrasonic and ultraviolet had certain effects on the ammonia nitrogen removal, and the ammonia nitrogen removing effects became better when the ultrasonic power was greater, or the ultraviolet wavelength was shorter. When the ultrasonic power was 100 W, the ammonia nitrogen removal efficiency was 25.2%, and the UV of 254 nm could decompose 20.2% of the ammonia nitrogen in landfill leathate. In the condition of aeration, ultrasonic and ultraviolet had good synergistic effect on leachate ammonia nitrogen treatment. When the ultrasonic power was 100 W, UV wavelength was 254 nm, and the aeration rate was 150 L/h, the ammonia removal efficiency of high concentration leachate (ammonia nitrogen concentration of 1800 mg/L) reached 98.5% after 6 hours. The paper's research results provide a useful reference for the removal of landfill leachate ammonia nitrogen.

How to simplify the nitrogen removal process, reduce the cost and improve the efficiency has become an urgent problem to be solved. In this research, the isolated HNAD (heterotrophic nitrification and aerobic denitrification) bacteria were used to remove<br /> the nitrogen in wastewater. Modified absorbent stone was used as high-efficiency and<br /> low-cost immobilized material. The modification effect was determined by the changes<br /> in mechanical strength, Zeta potential, pore structure, micrographs and biomass. The<br /> practicability of the modified carrier was further proved by experiments of environmental effect and reuse. The modified carrier had excellent performance. By comparing the<br /> degradation effects of immobilized microorganism and free microorganism, it was proved<br /> that the immobilized microorganisms have broad application prospects and strong adaptability to environmental factors. Under the optimum conditions (temperature of 30 oC,<br /> pH of 7, dissolved oxygen of 3.5 mg L–1), the removal efficiency of ammonia nitrogen<br /> reached 100 % in 40 hours, the removal efficiency of total nitrogen reached 60.11 % in<br /> 50 hours, and the removal rate of total nitrogen was 2.404 mg-NL–1 h–1 by immobilized<br /> microorganisms with the treatment of simulated nitrogen-containing wastewater. This<br /> research provides new material for the immobilization of HN-AD bacteria and a new way for nitrogen removal.
