Advancements and challenges of partial denitrification/anammox technology: Implementation strategies for plug-flow municipal wastewater treatment.

This review systematically summarizes the latest advances, key challenges, and engineering application strategies of partial denitrification/anammox (PD/A) technology, with a particular focus on plug-flow biosystems. The plug-flow process is widely used, yet its effluent often fails standards due to low C/N ratios. To...

Intensifying mainstream nitrogen removal by coupling acidophilic ammonia oxidation with anammox.

Partial nitritation and anammox (PNA) in membrane-aerated biofilm reactors (MABRs) offers a sustainable pathway for mainstream wastewater treatment; however, its application is often limited by the persistence of nitrite-oxidizing bacteria (NOB). This study demonstrated the feasibility of achieving the acidic PNA proce...

Unlocking the performance of anammox-coupled technologies for sustainable treatment of nitrogenous wastewater

Wastewater from industries, municipalities, or the agricultural sector contains huge amounts of nitrogenous substances, causing serious risks to the immediate locality and public health. Anammox technology is recognized as a preferred option for treating nitrogenous wastewater due to its sustainability, cost-effectiven...

Progress in low‐temperature partial nitritation/anammox coupled with enhanced biological phosphorus removal: Development, mechanisms, and optimization strategies

With increasing concerns over eutrophication control and carbon‐neutral wastewater treatment, simultaneous nitrogen and phosphorus removal under low‐temperature conditions remains a critical challenge. Conventional biological nutrient removal processes suffer from high energy demand, external carbon requirements, and...

Robust nitrogen removal through simultaneous denitrification and anammox driven by alkaline sludge fermentation liquid at varying nitrification levels.

Operational instability of partial nitrification (PN) remains a major barrier to mainstream energy-efficient wastewater treatment. Here, a stable simultaneous denitrification-anammox system driven by alkaline sludge fermentation liquor (ASFL) under varying nitrification levels (PN, complete nitrification, and their coe...
