Abstract
SHS investigation development is considered from the geographical and historical viewpoint. 3 stages are described. Within Stage 1 the work was carried out in the Department of the Institute of Chemical Physics in Chernogolovka where the scientific discovery had been made. At Stage 2 the interest to SHS arose in different cities and towns of the former USSR. Within Stage 3 SHS entered the international scene. Now SHS processes and products are being studied in more than 50 countries.
Abstract
Conventional wastewater treatment does not normally remove nutrients to a remarkable extent. Pollution of water bodies due to discharge of nitrogen and its compounds are among one of the major problems. Nitrogen is present in the effluent of various industries, landfill leachates, and sludge digester effluent. Excess nitrogen discharge in water streams leads uncontrolled eutrophication, considerable loss of oxygen and unwanted changes in aquatic population. Biological nutrient removal technologies have been developed and more emphasis has been placed on limiting the nutrient discharge in water streams. New nitrogen removal technologies like single reactor system for high ammonia removal over nitrite (SHARON) process, completely autotrophic nitrogen removal over nitrite (CANON), anaerobic ammonium oxidation (ANAMMOX) process and granular sludge technology are easy in operation and cost effective. This paper presents a review on biological nitrogen removal technologies suitable for wastewater treatment.
