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.

Human activities add large quantities of nitrogen to the environment, much of which gets washed into streams and rivers.

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 ...

Food industry effluents are considered a potential alternative for methanol when seeking external carbon sources to enhance denitrification in municipal waste water treatment plants (WWTPs). The aim ...

Denitrification bioreactors are engineered systems designed to remove nitrate from contaminated waters, particularly those influenced by agricultural practices. By utilising a solid carbon ...

Underground environments like soil and aquifers teem with microbial life. These tiny microbes play a big role in cycling ...

A recent study published in Engineering has shed new light on the mechanisms behind the efficient nitrogen removal capabilities of pyrite-based mixotrophic denitrifying biofilters. The research, ...

Limnology and Oceanography, Vol. 63, No. 2 (March 2018), pp. 687-701 (15 pages) We investigated anaerobic nitrogen (N) cycling in the water column of Lake Kivu, a deep meromictic tropical lake in East ...

Fungal denitrification play a key role in the regulation of nitrogen cycle. Knowledge of the fungal denitrification of soil microbes and the driving mechanisms will be essential to understand the ...
