The short- and long-term effects of formic acid on rapid nitritation start-up

The feasibility of achieving stable nitritation inoculating with activated sludge by adding formic acid was studied in this work. Short-term batch effects of formic acid on nitrification showed that the nitrite accumulation ratio (NAR) significantly increased from 0.3% to 83.7% with an increase of f...
