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
Pollution of water resources, such as nitrogen compounds, nitrate, and ammonium is increasingly expanding. A wide range of physico-chemical and biological methods are conducted for decreasing nitrate compounds and the amount of wastewaters. Due to low selectivity of nitrate, high costs, and the need for pre and post purification processes, the physico-chemical method is not effective for this purpose. However, biological methods are highly efficient in the removal of nitrogen compounds, and due to their advantages, they are widely used in wastewater purification. These methods include simultaneous nitrification and denitrification (SND), Anammox, and partial nitrification which are reviewed in the following chapter.
