Abstract:
Disclosed herein is a method for removing nitrogen from water, which makes it possible to omit equipment for controlling the supply of a carbon source (hydrogen donor), equipment for post-processing a carbon source (hydrogen donor), and circulation equipment and to prevent an increase in the size of a system. The method includes adding a solid material containing a biodegradable resin as a hydrogen donor to one water system in which bacteria cells having an ability to decompose a biodegradable resin, bacteria cells having nitrification capabilities, and bacteria cells having denitrification capabilities live together to allow a nitrification reaction and a denitrification reaction coexist in the water system. Also disclosed herein is a nitrification-reaction promoting agent for water treatment including 20 wt % or more of a biodegradable resin and having a specific gravity of more than 1 g/cm 3 .

Claim (Index 9):
The nitrification-reaction promoting agent for water treatment according to  claim 8 , wherein the biodegradable resin is at least one selected from the group consisting of a poly-3-hydroxyalkanoate, polybutylene succinate, and polylactic acid.
