← ScienceWhich risk increases when dissolved molecular oxygen concentration drops in wastewater treatment?
A)Increased sulfate reduction rates✓
B)Enhanced nitrification process
C)Reduced sludge volume index
D)Accelerated phosphate precipitation
💡 Explanation
Anaerobic conditions promote sulfate reduction because sulfate-reducing bacteria use sulfate rather than oxygen as a terminal electron acceptor; therefore, sulfide production increases, rather than nitrification via aerobic bacteria reducing sludge volume in oxygen-rich conditions.
