Effect of Influent COD/N Ratio on Nitrification Rate in a Bench-scale Biological Reactor
Nitrification, the oxidation of ammonia to nitrate catalyzed by bacteria, is a key part of the global nitrogen cycle. In the first step of nitrification, chemolithoautotrophic ammonia oxidizers transform ammonia to nitrite, which subsequently oxidizes to nitrate by nitrite-oxidizing bacteria. This p...
