Anaerobic ammonium oxidation for treatment of ammonium-rich wastewaters
Abstract: The concept of anaerobic ammonium oxidation (ANAMMOX) is presently of great interest. The functional bacteria belonging to the Planctomycete phylum and their metabolism are investigated by microbiologists. Meanwhile, the ANAMMOX is equally valuable in treatment of ammonium-rich wastewaters. Related processes including partial nitritation-ANAMMOX and completely autotrophic nitrogen removal over nitrite (CANON) have been developed, and lab-scale experiments proved that both processes were quite feasible in engineering with appropriate control. Successful full-scale practice in the Netherlands will accelerate application of the process in future. This review introduces the microbiology and more focuses on application of the ANAMMOX process.
Key words: Anaerobic ammonium oxidation (ANAMMOX) bacteria, Metabolism, Partial nitritation-ANAMMOX, Completely autotrophic nitrogen removal over nitrite (CANON), Application
