Use of limestone for pH control in autotrophic ...
Using limestone as an alkalinity source to control the pH, autotrophic denitrifiion of synthetic wastewater with varying alkalinity to NO(3)N ratios was evaluated in pilotscale packed bed reactors operating in the upflow mode, which contained limestone and sulfur granules in different volumetric ratios. The results demonstrated that limestone supplies effective buffering capacity, if the ...
