Anammox Process Technological Advancement and Application in Industrial Wastewater Treatment Plant

Unexplored Section of Biological Nitrogen Cycle in Industrial Wastewater Treatment - Anammox Process: Technological Advancement and Application in Industrial Wastewater Treatment Plant systematically summarizes up-to-date studies on the effect of various operational factors on nitrogen removal performance along with reactor type, mode of operation (batch or continuous), and cultured anammox bacterial species. The book lists the effect of potential anammox inhibition factors such as high nitrite concentration, high salinity, sulfides, toxic metal elements, and toxic organic compounds and provides a thorough interpretation of the synergistic and antagonistic toxicity of these inhibitors. It suggests the strategy for optimization of anammox processes for wastewater treatment, and stresses the importance of future studies on anammox applications.
