Preliminary Investigation on Rapid Potassium Efflux from Activated Sludge in Response to Use of Peroxyacetic Acid
Abstract
Preliminary research on activated sludge potassium efflux (GGKE - glutathione-gated potassium efflux) as a result of peroxyacetic acid (PAA) dosing were performed. Similarily as in case of chlorine dosing the PAA dosing causes initiation of bacteria defense mechanisms, related to the transformations of glutathione tripeptide, resulting in the increase of potassium ions concentration in the activated sludge environment. In the range of biomass concentration from 6,035 gMLSS/l to 9.331 gMLSS/l and applied peroxyacetic acid doses from 0.12 mg PAA/gMLSS to 3.55 mg PAA/gMLSS, the increase of potassium ions K+ concentration in the activated sludge environment after 10 minutes of reaction in batch, varied from approximately 3 mg/l to 40 mg/l. The elementary increase of potassium ions concentration (mg K+/gMLSS·l) was dependant on reaction time and the PAA dose. The elementary increase values varied from 0.5 mg K+/(gMLSS·l) for the dose of 0.3 mg PAA/gMLSS and 5 minutes reaction time to 4 mg K+/(gMLSS·l) for 2.5 mg PAA/gMLSS and reaction time equel to 20 minutes.
