Additive mixture for
fermentation liquids, containing at least the following components: (A) at least one type of
activated carbon containing at least one absorbed or adsorbed or absorbed and adsorbed inorganic
nitrate, (B) (b1) NADH and / or NADPH
nitrate reductase obtained from plants or yeasts or (b2) at least one type of
denitrifying bacteria in
free form or (b3) at least one type of
denitrifying bacteria carried on and / or in at least one type of
activated carbon or (b4) at least one type of
denitrifying bacteria in
free form and supported on and / or in at least one type of
activated carbon or (b5) NADH and / or NADPH
nitrate reductase obtained from plants or yeasts and at least one type of denitrifying
bacteria in
free form or (b6) NADH and / or NADPH
nitrate reductase derived from plants or yeasts and at least one type of denitrifying
bacteria carried on and / or in at least one type of activated carbon or (b7) NADH and / or NADPH
nitrate reductase derived from plants or yeasts, at least one type of denitrifying
bacteria in free form and at least one type of denitrifying bacteria carried on and / or in at least one type of activated carbon each in a total quantity that is insufficient to replace the nitrate present in (A) according to equation (I) NO3 - +2 H + + 2 e - = NO2 - + H2O (I) to reduce completely to
nitrite, and (C) the bacterium
Candidatus Brocadia Anammoxidans in free form or supported on and / or in at least one type of activated carbon or in free form and supported on and / or in at least one type of activated carbon, each in a total quantity sufficient to remove the
nitrite resulting according to equation (I) and the
ammonia present in the
fermentation liquid according to equation (II): NH4 + + NO2 - = N2 + H2O (II), to proportionate to
nitrogen.
