Review of Nitrogen and Pollutant Removal from Domestic Wastewater Using Nitritation/Anammox
WATER INFRASTRUCTURE & DESALINATION
The review focuses on the efficiency of nitritation/anammox processes for removing nitrogen and emerging pollutants from anaerobically treated domestic wastewater. Key findings from the literature include the enhancement of nitrogen removal through hydrazine addition, the development of partial nitrification in Sequential Batch Reactors (SBR) using Ammonium Oxidizing Bacteria (AOB), and the challenges associated with micropollutants such as human pharmaceuticals and hormones in urban water management. These insights highlight the importance of improving wastewater treatment technologies to address environmental concerns.
