Water Environment Research Open Access Article Describes Research On Mainstream Nitritation‐Anammox Processes
The open access article in the July 2018 issue of Water Environment Research (WER) discusses the progress in research on mainstream nitritation‐anammox processes as well as possibilities of future development.
“In their review of mainstream nitritation/anammox wastewater treatment, Li et al. discuss the current status and major challenges facing this novel treatment strategy,” WER Editor-in-Chief Tim Ellis said. “In an effort to become more energy efficient through the reduction of aeration requirements, nitritation/anammox offers significant promise as well as substantial obstacles. The authors conclude that an effective A-stage COD pretreatment process is needed to have a suitable and stable pretreated wastewater, in addition to an effective strategy to retain ammonia-oxidizing and anammox bacteria and repress nitrite-oxidizing bacteria and denitrifiers.”
Selected WER articles such as this one are available free to the public on a monthly basis through an open access program. In addition, authors can pay a fee to make their accepted articles open access.
