The result shows that the parameter of sludge reflux ratio plays a very important role in the design of active sludge system. In some given conditions,there exists an optimum reflux ratio which can make the volume of aeration tank be the minimum.展开更多

A study of P and Si-uptake kinetics for diatom species from two light regimes was conducted at low（LL）,moderate（ML） and high light intensities（HL）（2, 25 and 80 μmol photons/（m2·sec））,respectively. The results showed that P uptake of diatoms was heavily influenced by historic light regimes. P affinity changed with growth and photosynthetic activity. The lowest half saturation constant for P uptake（Km（P）） was under HL for high-light adapted diatoms while the lowest half-saturation constant for low-light adapted diatoms was observed under LL. The Si half-saturation constant（Km（Si）） increased with increasing light intensities for pennate diatoms but decreased for centric diatoms. Diatom volumes were correlated with the maximum Si uptake rates（Vm（Si）） at HL and K m（Si）at ML and HL for six diatom species. Our results imply that when we assess the development of diatom blooms we should consider light intensity and cell volume in addition to ambient Si or P concentration. The relationship between light intensity and P-uptake suggests that we can find suitable methods to control diatom blooms on the basis of reducing phytoplankton activity of P-uptake and photosynthesis simultaneously.展开更多
