Sulfide-based nitrogen removal from municipal wastewater
This doctoral research project focuses on sulfide-based nitrogen removal from anaerobically pretreated municipal wastewater. The first research line concerns the optimization of sulfide-based nitrogen removal over nitrate in granular sludge reactors. The second research line aims at the realization and optimization of a short-cut sulfide-based nitrogen removal process over nitrite. Reducing emissions of the greenhouse gases N2O and methane, constitutes the third objective.
