Abstract:
Nitrous oxide emissions were determined in three campaigns in the aeration tank of a full scale conventional activated sludge wastewater treatment plant. During these experiments, the carbonaceous organic matter (BOD and COD) removal was high and rather constant (97-98% and 93-96%). The results indicate that the concentration of total nitrogen in the influent wastewater, especially NH4+, and the aeration flow rate are key controlling factor of N2O emissions from the aeration tank. Nitrification was the major source of N2O, suggested by the behavior of DO concentrations, NO3-/NH4+ ratio and pH values along the six interlinked zones of the aeration tank. Excessive air flow intensified N2O transfer from the liquor to the atmosphere by air stripping.
