Activated Sludge Inhibition Capacity Index
Toxic compounds in sewage or industrial wastewater may inhibit the biological activity of activated sludge impairing the treatment process. This paper evaluates the Inhibition Capacity Index (ICI) for the assessment of activated sludge in the presence of toxicants. In this study, activated sludge was obtained from industrial treatment plants and was also synthetically produced. Continuous respi...
متن کاملRelationship between Sludge Volume Index and Biomass Structure within Activated Sludge Systems
In activated sludge systems, the sludge settling ability is considered a critical step where filamentous bulking and biomass deflocculation are the most common problems, causing the reduction of the effluent quality. Furthermore, in recent years image processing techniques have been successfully used to elucidate the activated sludge morphology. Keeping that in mind, a program was developed for...
متن کاملInhibition of activated sludge respiration by heavy metals
Inhibition of the respiration microbial activity in the activated sludge caused by heavy metal concentrations (Cr, Cd, Cu and Ni) was studied by means of respirometric method using Strathtox respirometer (Strathkelvin Glasgow).The studied sludge samples were obtained from the two waste water treatment plants with different types of pollution (municipal waste water and domestic waste water). Key...
متن کاملNitrification Inhibition by Heavy Metals in Activated Sludge Process
Nitrification is the most sensitive part in the biologic nutrient removal of wastewaters, since the growth rate of nitrifying microorganisms is very lower and strongly dependent on temperature, substrate concentration, oxygen content, pH, and the presence of inhibiting components. This review addresses the nitrification inhibition by heavy metals. This inhibition can be quantified by different ...
متن کاملSome investigations on PHA production using activated sludge as inoculum
This paper indicates that activated sludge under certain conditions can achieve levels of polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA) accumulation which would enable the economic recovery of this precursor of biodegradable plastics. The effects of C/N ratio and temperature on polyhydroxyalkanoates production were evaluated. Acetate uptake, ammonium consumption, oxygen uptake and PHA production were studied und...
