  2. Nitrification - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nitrification

    Nitrification is the biological oxidation of ammonia to nitrate via the intermediary nitrite. Nitrification is an important step in the nitrogen cycle in soil. The process of complete nitrification may occur through separate organisms [1] or entirely within one organism, as in comammox bacteria. The transformation of ammonia to nitrite is ...

  3. Nitrifying bacteria - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nitrifying_bacteria

    [12] [13] Complete nitrification, the conversion of ammonia to nitrate in a single step known as comammox, has an energy yield (∆G°′) of −349 kJ mol −1 NH 3, while the energy yields for the ammonia-oxidation and nitrite-oxidation steps of the observed two-step reaction are −275 kJ mol −1 NH 3, and −74 kJ mol −1 NO 2 − ...

  4. SHARON Wastewater Treatment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SHARON_Wastewater_Treatment

    SHARON (Single reactor system for High activity Ammonium Removal Over Nitrite) is a sewage treatment process. A partial nitrification process of sewage treatment used for the removal of ammonia and organic nitrogen components from wastewater flow streams. The process results in stable nitrite formation, rather than complete oxidation to nitrate.

  5. Nitrogen cycle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nitrogen_cycle

    The nitrogen cycle is an important process in the ocean as well. While the overall cycle is similar, there are different players [40] and modes of transfer for nitrogen in the ocean. Nitrogen enters the water through the precipitation, runoff, or as N 2 from the atmosphere. Nitrogen cannot be utilized by phytoplankton as N

  6. Anammox for wastewater treatment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anammox_for_wastewater...

    The two main chemicals needed for the metabolism of anammox bacteria to function are ammonia and nitrite. Nitrate and nitrite are produced by microorganisms within wastewater treatment facilities as a result of sewage treatment. The chemical compound ammonia monooxygenase converts ammonia in wastewater into nitrite during the nitrification process.

  7. Simultaneous nitrification–denitrification - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simultaneous_nitrification...

    The Orbal process is a technology in practice today using this method. The other method is to produce an oxygen gradient within the bio floc. The DO concentration remains high in the outside rings of the floc where nitrification occurs but low in the inner rings of the floc where denitrification occurs.

  8. Nitrate in the Mississippi River Basin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nitrate_in_the_Mississippi...

    This is a table that identifies the processes of the nitrogen cycle with their corresponding chemical reactions. [2]Nitrogen undergoes the nitrogen cycle, where it is converted into different forms (i.e nitrogen (), nitrate(), and ammonia ()) through various processes, such as fixation, ammonification, nitrification, and denitrification.

  9. Activated sludge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Activated_sludge

    The activated sludge process is a type of biological wastewater treatment process for treating sewage or industrial wastewaters using aeration and a biological floc composed of bacteria and protozoa. It is one of several biological wastewater treatment alternatives in secondary treatment , which deals with the removal of biodegradable organic ...
