4. Conclusions
The results of this research have yielded the following
conclusions.
After an electron beam irradiation, organic matter and nitrogen
in swine wastewater were successfully treated using the IEBR.
Removal of organic matter was determined by the solubilization
of organic particle fraction. The maximum COD removal
was 85.1% at an OLR of 1.41 kg/m3day (75 kGy).
The nitrogen removal was significantly affected by the current
density. The maximum T–N removal was 75.0% at 1.09 A/m2.
