Denitrification is a critical process that can alleviate the effects of excessive nitrogen availability in aquatic ecosystems subject to eutrophication. An important part of denitrification occurs in ...

This experiment relies on MIT to explore the optimal operating conditions for embedded immobilized biological fillers under low temperatures, given the aforementioned characteristics of rural ...

Limnology and Oceanography, Vol. 61, No. 2 (2016), pp. 610-624 (15 pages) To evaluate the relation of isotope fractionation during sedimentary nitrate reduction with sediment reactivity, we measured ...

An study led by researchers from the Harbin Institute of Technology has unveiled a substantial development in wastewater treatment technology. Published in Engineering, the research introduces an ...

During combustion - one of the most popular industrial processes across all industry sectors - the chemical energy in fuels, such as natural gas, coal, or oil, is converted into heat by oxidization.

Some microbes living on sand grains use up all the oxygen around them. Their neighbors, left without oxygen, make the best of it: They use nitrate in the surrounding water for denitrification -- a ...

After more than a decade of inquiry, a team of scientists has turned the tables on a long-standing controversy to re-establish an old truth about nitrogen mixing in the oceans. After more than a ...

Underground environments like soil and aquifers teem with microbial life. These tiny microbes play a big role in cycling nutrients and breaking down or transforming pollutants. However, scientists ...

Denitrification is a microbial respiratory process in which oxidized nitrogen species, primarily nitrate (NO₃⁻) and nitrite (NO₂⁻), are sequentially reduced to gaseous forms such as nitric oxide (NO), ...
