Bacteria Supported on Carbon-Coated Monoliths for Water Denitrification Espinosa Iglesias, David Bailón García, Esther Bautista Toledo, María Isidora Carrasco Marín, Francisco Pérez Cadenas, Agustín Francisco Carbon-coated monoliths Bacteria Water treatments Nitrate removal Escherichia coli bacteria were grown inside the channels of cordierite monoliths previously coated with a very good adhered carbon layer. These monolithic structures were tested at room temperature for the nitrate elimination of water solutions working as a batch monolithic bioreactor and showed very good results, as 100% of the nitrates and nitrites were completely removed in the used experimental conditions. Di erent rate flows of bacteria growth and nitrate elimination were studied, showing that the higher the flow velocity, the faster the nitrate elimination. Finally, the reproducibility tests confirmed the good performance of the proposed bioreactor. 2021-02-15T12:59:26Z 2021-02-15T12:59:26Z 2020-11-24 info:eu-repo/semantics/article Espinosa-Iglesias, D., Bailón-García, E., Bautista-Toledo, M., Carrasco-Marín, F., & Pérez-Cadenas, A.
