Comparative Study on HRT and Nitrogen Concentration Effects on Enhancement of Nitrogen Removal by Marine Anammox Bacteria (MAB)

Anammox, anaerobic ammonium oxidation with nitrite, is recognized as a unique and novel nitrogen metabolic pathway for ammonia-rich wastewater treatment compared with conventional nitrification and denitrification system mainly due to cost saving. However, the enrichment culture of marine anammox bacteria (MAB) and its potential nitrogen removal capacity, so far, have not been well studied. The present study described the effects of shortening...
