Dynamic changes in microbial diversity of aerobic granules

The bacterial diversity and their population changes were investigated in acetate-fed aerobic granules cultivated in two Sequencing Batch Reactors (SBRs), A and B. The top nine dominant bacteria were isolated, and their growths were tracked in another two SBRs (C and D) which were cultivating granules without selection pressures. The nine bacterial population in C and D were compared to the references obtained from A and B. The failure to cultivate granules in C and D was attributed to the nine isolates being outcompeted by poor settling fast growing bacteria and failing to reach a critical population size.

    HCl emissions reduced from 1000mg/Nm3 to 5mg/Nm3. Process: To recover aluminium scrap from plastic foil. A Glosfume high temperature ceramic filter system replaced an existing bag filter that had suffered severe corrosion. This was due to being operated at low temperatures, combined with extremely high HCl levels, during aluminium scrap decoating. Lime injection provided inadequate HCl removal and led to problems with CaCl2 `setting` in thebag filter house. The problem was eventually overcome by utilising...

    In order to improve the dissolution property of poorly water-soluble drugs, solid dispersion methods have been used and described in the recent years such as fusion, solvent evaporation or spray drying. Kollidon® 30 is a polyvinylpyrrolidone polymer soluble in water and many organic solvents. It is used as excipient in the pharmaceutical industry for the microencapsulation of drugs. It is mainly applied as a binder for granules and tablets, to improve the bioavailability of hardly soluble active compounds or...

  • Promotion of partial nitritation-anammox process by improving granule proportion

    For enhancing the partial nitritation-anammox (PN/A) process, the effects of granule fraction on system performance were investigated in this study. Two sequencing batch reactors (SBRs) were inoculated with PN/A biomass with a floc mass fraction of 53%. In SBR1, when the nitrogen removal rate (NRR) was stable, flocculent sludge was gradually discharged from the reactor using a screen, and the granule fraction was therefore increased. However, nitrogen removal was not improved and finally deteriorated due to the...
