What is it about?
In this work, we evaluated the ammonium adsorption properties of aerobic granular sludge in sequencing batch reactors. We found that the adsorption of ammonium in AGS was a thermal driving fast process with a high ammonium adsorption capacity. Several factors like pH and competitive cations could effect the adsorption process. The reversible and endothermic ammonium desorption process was also investigated.

Why is it important?
Our findings could be useful for completing the mathematical model of nitrogen removal process in AGS.
Perspectives
The purpose of this article is to provide new ideas for studying the specific process of microbial removal of nitrogen.
