Microbial Applications of Nitrifiers and Denitrifiers in Industrial Wastewater Treatment describes the biotechnological processes (nitrification, oxidation and denitrification) to remove ammonia from wastewater, protecting the environment and human health. The book describes the microbiology and biotechnological applications of the nitrification and denitrification process and gives further insight into those processes while also outlining recent advances, mainstream and unconventional applications, strategy, and future prospects. In addition, it systematically summarizes up-to-date studies on the effect of various operational factors on the nitrogen removal performance along with reactor types, mode of operation (batch or continuous), and cultured anammox bacterial species. This book is a valuable resource for researchers in applied microbiology, biotechnology, biochemistry, environmental science, and all those who wish to broaden their knowledge in the field.
