Abstract
A wastewater treatment method for treating wastewater containing ammonium nitrogen, includes the steps of: charging an unacclimated denitrification carrier containing anaerobic ammonium-oxidizing bacteria into a treatment tank; charging an unacclimated nitrification carrier containing nitrifying bacteria into the treatment tank; acclimating the unacclimated denitrification carrier in the treatment tank under an anaerobic condition; acclimating the unacclimated nitrification carrier in the treatment tank under an aerobic condition, after having acclimated the denitrification carrier; nitriting the ammonium nitrogen in the wastewater to generate nitrite with the acclimated nitrification carrier; and denitrifying the nitrite generated by nitriting the ammonium nitrogen with the acclimated denitrification carrier, while using the ammonium nitrogen in the wastewater as a hydrogen donor.
