Study on effect of waterbody temperature on removal of NH₄⁺-N in polluted water sources by bioremediation process

The effect of NH₄⁺-N removal in a polluted raw water of water sources by the bioremediation process with the elastic fillings and micropore aerators was studied in this paper.The effect of waterbody temperature on the NH₄⁺-N removal in the polluted water sources was also discussed. The results show that the waterbody temperature is an important factor effecting the bioremediation process. The temperature has the biggest effect on the removal of NH₄⁺-N for the bioremediation process under low waterbody temperature. The temperature has a smaller effect on the removal of NH₄⁺-N for the bioremediation process under higher waterbody temperature.
