Composite Carbon Source:Sewage Treatment and Environmental Remediation

Composite carbon source is a mixture formulated by compounding multiple organic carbon sources, which is widely applied in sewage treatment and environmental remediation. It can significantly improve the metabolic efficiency of microorganisms and enhance the nitrogen removal performance.

.The main components of composite carbon source include:


Small-molecule acids: such as acetic acid, which can be rapidly assimilated by microorganisms.

Carbohydrates: such as glucose, which supply energy and carbon source.

Short-chain alcohols: such as ethanol, which increase the carbon-to-nitrogen (C/N) ratio and optimize nitrogen removal efficiency.

.It can be classified into several categories according to raw material sources:

Biological Fermentation Type

Prepared from molasses, starch, cellulose and other raw materials via fermentation with specific strains, this type yields a mixture containing organic acids, alcohols and a small amount of sugars. It is the mainstream and high-efficiency category at present.

Chemical Synthesis/By-product Type

Formulated by mixing multiple chemical products in prescribed proportions.

Produced through the purification and compounding of organic by-products generated from certain chemical industries.

Waste Recycling Type

Manufactured by processing waste materials including food processing wastewater, waste molasses, biomass hydrolysate, etc.

It is eco-friendly and cost-effective, yet strict control over its composition stability is required.
