Effects of Dissolved Oxygen on Nitrogen Release from Jialu River Sediment

[Objective] The aim was to study the effects of dissolved oxygen(DO) on nitrogen release from Jialu River sediment.[Method] Based on the present pollution of Jialu River(in Zhengzhou),the effects of dissolved oxygen on nitrogen transformation in Jialu River sediment were analyzed through simulation test of original columnar sediment.[Result] DO was the main impact factor of nitrogen transformation in Jialu River sediment,and DO with different concentrations had various effects on the transformation time and transformation efficiency of ammonia nitrogen,nitrite nitrogen and nitrate nitrogen.Under aerobic environment,ammoniation,nitrosification and nitrification conducted completely,and the transformation time of ammonia nitrogen,nitrite nitrogen and nitrate nitrogen was less than that under anaerobic environment,while the transformation efficiency was higher than that under anaerobic environment.[Conclusion] The study could provide scientific references for the water pollution control of Jialu River.
