Reactor Performance and Morphology of Aerobic Sludge Biomass in the Presence and Absence of Ni(II) Ion in Feed

Heavy metals are frequently encountered in domestic wastewaters (sources being the usage of paints, batteries, electronic goods, etc.). It can get carried away by storm water through municipal sewer systems to the domestic wastewater treatment plants and affecting the biomass. The present work aims to study the impact of nickel [Ni(II)] ion on settling characteristics, metabolic activity and morphology of aerobic sludge biomass in sequential...
