Abstract:This research adopted the (35±1)℃ temperature and pH were acidity (pH=4.0, 5.0, 6.0) and alkaline (pH=8.0, 9.0, 10.0) conditions to conduct waste activated sludge anaerobic fermentation, using an equal volume of different fermentation liquid as carbon source researched its effect on NOx- reduction process.The results showed that: when the fermentation liquid produced in pH=8.0 condition as carbon source, the highest reaction rate appeared, NO3- and NO2- reduction rate respectively were 16.28mg/(gVSS·h) and 17.51mg/(gVSS·h). The NO2- reduction process was faster than the NO3- reduction process while the fermentation liquid as carbon source produced by acidic condition, but the NO3- reduction rate was higher when the fermentation liquid as carbon source produced by alkaline condition. Meanwhile, which produced the nitrite accumulation phenomenon among the denitrification process, the accumulation rate of nitrite during denitrification process reached 82.5% when the fermentation liquid as carbon source produced in pH=10.0condition.
