Abstract
The intrinsic rate of nitrification was observed in a batch reactor by eliminating external and internal diffusional resistances. The former were minimized by means of intense agitation, and the latter by mechanical rupture of the activated sludge flocs using high mixer rotational speeds. The optimum temperature and pH for the intrinsic nitrification rate were found to be 30β35Β°C and 8.0, respectively. Initial ammonium concentration was found to have a strong effect on the value of the kinetic parameters of the MichaelisβMenten rate expression at low ammonium levels. However, at high initial concentrations both parameters attained a constant maximum value that is independent of the initial substrate level.
