Beyond Nitrification-Denitrification and Anammox: Can Dirammox Reshape Nitrogen Removal in Wastewater Treatment?
Distinct from conventional aerobic nitrification-denitrification, which remains the dominant biological nitrogen removal (BNR) strategy, and the anaerobic ammonium oxidation (anammox) process, the recently identified direct aerobic ammonia oxidation (Dirammox) pathway introduces a fundamentally new paradigm. Dirammox e...
