Abstract

NO2- accumulation occurred in an upflow anaerobic sludge blanket reactor at 500, 1000 and 1500 mg NO3- -N/l, but not after copper in the medium was increased to 28 μg Cu2/l. N2O release was not avoided even with 56 μg Cu2/l, at 1500 and 2500 mg NO3- -N/l and reached 251 mg N2O-N/l•d. © Rapid Science Ltd. 1998
