Hydrogenotrophic denitrification of drinking water using a hollow fibre membrane bioreactor

摘要

The objective of this research was to investigate the performance of a hollow fibre membrane bioreactor(HFMB)for hydrogenotrophic denitrification of contaminated drinking water. In the HFMB, H2 flows through the lumen of the hydrophobic hollow fibres and diffuses to an attached H2 oxidizing Biofilm. Nitrate in the contaminated water serves as an electron acceptor. A hydrogenotrophic Denitrifying culture was enriched from a wastewater seed.
