title: [Treatment of ion-exchange monosodium glutamate wastewater by yeast].
abstract: Two strains of yeasts, Candida halophila and Rhodotorula glutinis, were acquired through screening from ion-exchange monosodium glutamate wastewater (IEMGW) which was characterized by its high contents of COD (40,690 mg/L), NH(4+)-N (16,914 mg/L) and SO(4)2- (18,000 mg/L). The mixture of the two species had a good COD removal performance for treating IEMGW in a pH rang of 4-9. The yeast technology was superior to the conventional activated sludge in terms of COD removal and COD decomposition rate, In a dilution rate range of wastewater from 1:1 to 1:9, a COD removal of 84.5% and an average COD decomposition rate of over 1.0 kg/(kg.d) were obtained under an initial pH of 4.
