The fixed-bed reactor was operated continuously for 240 days. T-N removal efficiencies increased from 38%,67%, 72%,74% to 75 % with stepwise increases in volumetric T-N loading rates. A T-N removal rate of 2.8 kg N/㎥/day was obtained after 240 days of operation. After 3 months, anammox biomass fully covered the surface of the PE sponge carrier and the color of the material changed from white to red. Following 5 months of operation,biomass proliferated on the surface of the material and a dark-red color was observed. With the obtained results, PE sponge is auspicious biomass carrier for growth of anammox bacteria.}, pages = {121--128}, title = {Anammox Treatment Performance Using Polyethylene Sponge as a Biomass Carrier}, volume = {44}, year = {2008}, yomi = {フルカワ, ケンジ} }
