Nitrification in the presence of sulfide and organic matter in a sequencing moving bed biofilm reactor (SMBBR) with zeolite as biomass carrier

Abstract

It has recently come to our attention that the Acknowledgements section has been missed to include in the article 'Nitrification in the presence of sulfide and organic matter in a sequencing moving bed biofilm reactor (SMBBR) with zeolite as biomass carrier' REFERENCE 1 Huiliñir C, Fuentes V, Esposito G, Montalvo S and Guerrero L, Nitrification in the presence of sulfide and organic matter in a sequencing moving bed biofilm reactor (SMBBR) with zeolite as biomass carrier.

Potential Application of Chilean Natural Zeolite as a Support Medium in Treatment Wetlands for Removing Ammonium and Phosphate from Wastewater

“…Finally, taking into account the previous discussion, the Chilean natural zeolite with a commercial size of 1.5-3.0 mm is recommended to be used as the support media in treatment wetlands to remove N and P from domestic wastewaters, including those produced in rural areas. In addition, after saturation in treatment wetlands, the Chilean natural zeolite has the possibility to be used as a source of nutrients, namely N and P, as has already been proposed by several authors [27,[68][69][70].…”

Modeling of the effect of zeolite concentration on the biological nitrification process in the presence of sulfide and organic matter

“…In the case of nitrification, Young et al [13] used activated carbon improvers for nitrification in order to decreases the inhibition by phenol and free cyanide on the nitrification process. In this sense, zeolite is another improver that has been used in many biological processes such as: anaerobic digestion, nitrification, heterotrophic autotrophic denitrification [14][15][16][17][18][19] . In these processes, the use of zeolite improves the biological performance based on its ability to retain ammonia and form biofilm, in addition to its high porosity and large specific surface area [20] .…”
