Nitrous oxide emissions from an intermittent aeration activated sludge system of an urban wastewater treatment plant

This study investigated the emission of N2O during the sequential aerated (60-min) and non-aerated (30-min) stages of an intermittent aeration cycle in an activated sludge wastewater treatment plant (WWTP). N2O emission occurred during both stages; however, emission was much higher during aeration....
