Phosphorus as a key to unlock the potential of hydrogen-oxidizing bacteria for ammonium recovery from mining wastewater into microbial protein.
Rare earth wastewater with high concentrations of NH4+-N poses serious environmental challenges. Conventional treatment converts NH4+-N into N2, leading to nitrogen resources loss. This study proposes a hydrogen-oxidizing bacteria (HOB)-based strategy to convert NH4+-N in real wastewater into microbial protein (MP). Ba...
