Model of the anaerobic metabolism of the biological phosphorus removal process: Stoichiometry and pH influence
Abstract
In the anaerobic phase of a biological phosphorus removal process, acetate is taken up and converted to PHB utilizing both energy generated in the degradation of polyphosphate to phosphate, which is released, and energy generated in the conversion of glycogen to poly‐β‐hydroxy butyrate (PHB). The phosphate/acetate ratio cannot be considered a metabolic constant, because the energy requirement for the uptake of acetate is strongly influenced by the pH value. The observed phosphate/acetate ratio shows a variation of 0.25 to 0.75 P‐mol/C‐mol in a pH range of 5.5 to 8.5. It is shown that stored glycogen takes part in the metabolism to provide reduction equivalents and energy for the conversion of acetate to PHB. A structured metabolic model, based on glycogen as the source of the reduction equivalents in the anaerobic phase and the effect of the pH on the energy requirement of the uptake of acetate, is developed. The model explains the experimental results satisfactorily. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
