The objective of this study was to determine the role of agitation conditions in the oxidation of nitrite ions by Nitrobacter . Batch reaction kinetic experiments were conducted in baffled stirred tanks. The range of agitation conditions studied was 6200 ↔ 95700 ergs/cm 3 sec. This power input corresponds to 3.2 ↔ 45.6 hp/ 1000 gal, or a “hem Scale” of 3 ↔ 9. After a lag phase, the reaction kinetics were found to be zero order with respect to nitrite over a concentration range of 590 to 10 mg/liter nitrite nitrogen (NO 2 − ‐N). The zero‐order rate constants were found to significantly decrease with increasing impeller power input per volume of liquid ( P / V ).
