Mineralization Kinetics of Soluable Phosphorus and Soluable Organic Nitrogen in Advanced Nutrient Removal Effluents

Abstract

Given the importance of watershed protection plans, determination of phosphorus (P) mineralization kinetics in advanced wastewater treatment facility effluents is crucial for developing strategies to minimize eutrophication in receiving surface waters. This study looked at the dissolved P uptake kinetics characterization for five treatment facilities in the Spokane, Washington Region. Appendix A (Quality Assurance/Quality Control Data) is available by request. Published by WERF. 106 pages. Online PDF. (2015)

Originally funded as WERF project NUTR1R06p.
