Abstract:
Pollution caused by N and P is a significant contributor to water eutrophication. While traditional biological treatment processes can remove some N and P elements from water, the effluent quality often fails to meet the stringent requirements of sensitive areas. The autotrophic denitrification’s simultaneous nitrogen and phosphorus removal pro-cess, known for its low operating cost and minimal sludge production, has garnered considerable attention from researchers. In this study, natural pyrite was used for the removal of nitrogen and phosphorus in a denitrification system, and the underlying

Pesticide compounds can influence denitrification processes in groundwater in many ways. This study observed behavior of three selected pesticides under denitrifying conditions. Alachlor, terbuthylazine, and tebuconazole, in a concentration of 0.1 mL L−1, were examined using two laboratory denitrifications assays: a “short” 7-day and a “long” 28-day test. During these tests, removal of pesticides via adsorption and biotic decomposition, as well as the efficiency of nitrate removal in the presence of the pesticides, were measured.

Mature landfill leachate is a complex and highly polluted effluent with a large amount of ammonia nitrogen, toxic components and low biodegradability.

The increasing production and utilization of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and commercial silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) have raised concerns about their potential environmental release, with coastal sediments as a substantial sink. To better understanding the effects of these contaminants on denitrification processes in coastal marine sediments, a short-term exposure simulation experiment was conducted. We investigated the effects of single and combined contamination of phenanthrene (Phe) and AgNPs on denitrification processes in a coastal marine sediment. Results showed that all cont

Abstract:
The basic factors determining the efficiency of the removal of nitrogen and carbon compounds from airport wastewater containing de-icing agents are low temperature and the C/N ratio (carbon to nitrogen ratio). Biofilm reactors (biofilters) create better conditions for nitrification and denitrification than suspended biomass reactors. The scope of the study included determination of the influence of the C/N ratio in the wastewater on nitrification, denitrification and organic compound removal in biofilm reactors depending on the temperature.

Salinity has significant effects on nitrification and denitrification processes, particularly in estuarine systems. A dissolved oxygen-enriched river and its estuary in northern China were selected to investigate the impact of salinity gradients (0.6, 4, 7.6, 11.4 and 14.7‰) obtained from the mixing of river samples and estuarine samples with different proportions on coupled nitrification and aerobic denitrification via incubation experiments (35 and 10 °C).

Cement production is the third largest source of nitrogen oxides (NOx), an air pollutant that poses a serious threat to the natural environment and human health. Reducing NOx emissions from cement production has become an urgent issue.

In this study, firstly, the flow field, temperature field, and component fraction in the precalciner are studied and analyzed using numerical simulation methods.

Volatile fatty acids can be used as carbon sources for denitrification and are easily supplied as by-products from the anaerobic digestion of waste materials.

The microbial communities in the alternating aerobic and anoxic systems were different, and their structure flexibly changed within one reactor.

Soil nitrification and denitrification are key nitrogen (N) removal processes in riparian wetlands in extremely arid regions, but the driving factors of the two N processes in these wetlands are still unclear. We measured soil nitrification and denitrification rates and related environmental properties in a typical riparian wetland in the middle reaches of the Heihe River, northwestern China. Our results showed that rates of soil nitrification and denitrification exhibited moderate variability, ranging from 52.77 to 221.18 μg kg−1 h−1 and 91.25 to 428.26 μg kg−1 h−1, respectively.

The aim of this article is to present a new biological aerated filter (BAF) for nitrogen removal based on simultaneous nitrification and denitrification. Contrary to the systems which integrate both an aerated and a non-aerated zone to allow complete nitrogen removal in one compact or two different units (pre-denitrification and nitrification), this upflow BAF system is based on the principle of simultaneous nitrification and denitrification since the filter is completely aerated. The denitrification process is possible due to the diffusion effect which dominates biofilm processes. The real ti

Abstract. The size of the bio-available (i.e. "fixed") nitrogen inventory in the ocean influences global marine productivity and the biological carbon pump. Despite its importance, the pre-industrial rates for the major source and sink terms of the oceanic fixed nitrogen budget, N2 fixation and denitrification, respectively, are not well known. However, these processes leave distinguishable imprints on the ratio of stable nitrogen isotopes, δ15N, which can therefore help to infer their patterns and rates.

Abstract. The discovery that foraminifera are able to use nitrate instead of oxygen as energy source for their metabolism has challenged our understanding of nitrogen cycling in the ocean. It was evident before that only prokaryotes and fungi are able to denitrify. Rate estimates of foraminiferal denitrification were very sparse on a regional scale. Here, we present estimates of benthic foraminiferal denitrification rates from six stations at intermediate water depths in and below the Peruvian oxygen minimum zone (OMZ).
