A kinetic study of autohydrogenotrophic denitrification at the optimum pH and sodium bicarbonate dose

In this study the kinetics of autohydrogenotrophic denitrification was studied under optimum solution pH and bicarbonate concentration. The optimal pH and bicarbonate concentration were firstly obtained using a design of experiment (DOE) methodology. For this purpose a total of 11 experiments were c...
