A bioreactor containing the anammox bacterium Kuenenia stuttgartiensis. Anammox, an abbreviation for "anaerobic ammonium oxidation", is a globally important microbial process of the nitrogen cycle [1] that takes place in many natural environments.

Anaerobic ammonium oxidation (anammox) bacteria, which were discovered in waste-water sludge in the early 1990s, have the unique metabolic ability to combine ammonium and nitrite or nitrate...

From discovery in the early 1990s to completion of full-scale anammox reactor, it took almost two decades to uncover the secret veil of anammox bacteria. There were three milestones during the commercialization of anammox: the development of the ...

Nov 23, 2024 · Anammox, an abbreviation for ANaerobic AMMonium OXidation, is a globally significant microbial process of the nitrogen cycle. The bacteria mediating this process were identified in 1999, and at the time were a great surprise to the scientific community.

Anaerobic ammonium oxidation (Anammox) is a biological approach to nitrogen removal that uses anammox bacteria in the direct oxidation of ammonium to form dinitrogen gas (N2). From: Bioresource Technology, 2021

Oct 2, 2011 · Anammox, or anaerobic ammonium oxidation, is one of two important microbial processes that recycle fixed nitrogen back to the atmosphere.

Feb 1, 2025 · At the moment, relatively new ANAMMOX technologies are being developed with the goal of treating low carbon wastewater at low temperatures, tackling nitrite and nitrate accumulation and methane utilization from digestates while also recovering resources (phosphorus) in a sustainable manner.

Sep 15, 2022 · To this end, this study firstly reviews the valuable new outcomes of the pure anammox process, including the implemented sludge morphology, various wastewater characteristics, and metabolic regulation measures to improve anammox activity.

Dec 31, 2024 · Denitrification and anaerobic ammonium oxidation (anammox) are the major microbial processes responsible for global nitrogen (N) loss.

Nov 1, 2021 · With the combination of anammox process and other pre-treatment processes to treat the actual wastewater, many types of anammox-based processes have been developed with distinct nitrogen removal performance.
