Comparison on kinetics and microbial community among denitrification process fed by different kinds of volatile fatty acids. Issue 3 (March 2015) - Li, Chao
Highlights Acetic and propionic acid obtained higher nitrate removal rates than other VFAs. Two denitrifying kinetic stages were observed in the shorter chain VFAs (≤ 3C). Similar VFAs structures corresponded with similar denitrifier community structures. Secondary use of degraded VFAs were responsible. Acetic acid appeared to be inadequacy for nirK-type denitrifiers enrichment.
