Molecular and Kinetic Characterization of Anammox Bacteria Enrichments and Determination of the Suitability of Anammox for Landfill Leachate Treatment

Creator:

Sultana, Sharmin

Abstract:

Anaerobic ammonium oxidation (anammox) has recently appeared as a promising approach for removing nitrogen from landfill leachates because it requires less oxygen and no organic carbon compared to traditional nitrification-denitrification system, and it produces low sludge volumes, thereby reducing operating and biological sludge disposal costs by over 60%. Anammox bacteria...
