Abstrakt: In order to develop a new type of anaerobic digestion process equipped with a nitrogen removal function, denitrification of nitrate nitrogen (NO3-N) in anaerobic acidogenesis of organic fraction of municipal waste (OFMSW) was investigated by two semi-continuous reactors. Reactor 1 and Reactor 2 were fed by 3% and 7% of solids concentration of synthetic garbage, respectively. Generation of nitrogen gas (N2) and ammonium nitrogen (NH4-N) was simultaneously observed in the low load of nitrate (NO3-N) (below 0.68g NO3-N/L). In Reactor 1, ammonium nitrogen generation decreased as the addition of nitrate increased. Finally, the increase of the addition of nitrate resulted in the increase of acetic acid production.
