Abstract
Abstract Undissociated HNO2 (up to 2 mg dm−3) was confirmed as substrate inhibitor for granular biomass from a denitritation upflow sludge bed reactor used for biological removal of nitrite. On the contrary, total nitrite nitrogen (N-NO2 up to 500 mg dm−3) and methanol (COD up to 2000 mg dm−3) were not proven to be inhibitors. pH also affected the denitritation efficiency (optimal pH was 5.9). Reduction of HNO2 concentration in the reactor by effluent recycling is recommended.
