PROCESS FOR THE BIOLOGICAL DENITRIFICATION OF WASTE WATER

摘要

1. A process for the biological denitrification of waste water, wherein the waste water to be denitrified is passed in the presence of a source of carbon through a reactor in which the denitrifying bacteria are established on a carrier material, characterised in that open-celled foam particles having a low specific gravity in the dry state of 20 to 200 kg/m**3 a volume of 0.1 to 75 cm**3 and macropores of 0.1 to 5 mm are stored in the reactor in the form of lumps.
