摘要：This research investigated nitrate removal in a compost bed with various contents of carbon and nitrogen. The process was carried out in continuous flow by which nitrate loading was administered from 0.19 to 1.11 g N h-1L-1. Increasing nitrate loading brought about increasing denitrification efficiency and decreasing the final C:N ratio in a compost with the initial C:N ratio of 20:1. Compost with the initial C:N ratio of 10:1 performed decreasing denitrification efficiency and increasing the final C:N ratio. Based on the denitrification efficiency performance, a compost maturity index was proposed at the limit C:N ratio of 15:1
