Determination of the zeolite optimal diameter for the settlement of nitrifying bacteria in an aerobic bed fluidized reactor to eliminate ammonia nitrogen

In this work, the determination of the diameter of zeolite as a support for a microbial aerobic fluidized bed reactor is performed. The design of the reactor is recommended by Navarro and Palladino [1]. For the present study, the zeolite is crushed and classified granulometrically. Subsequently, the...
