Abstract

Degradation of 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) was examined together with nitrogen conversion by using an activated sludge acclimated to artificial sewage containing 2,4-D and urea-N, which were the sole carbon and nitrogen sources, respevtively. Ammonification of urea and nitrification of ammonia proceeded concurrently with 2,4-D degradation by the acclimated activated sludge.
