There is a new published review paper titled as " Nitrification and me- A subjective review" which discusses biological nitrification experienced and observed by one of the most prominent researchers in the field, Dr. Willi Gujer.
This article is published in Water Research (2010). Take a look at the abstract and if you are interested we can open a discussion panel for it.
Abstract
Based on the subjective experience of the author it is discussed how the nitrification processes served as an important basis for the development of today's understanding and mathematical models for many wastewater treatment processes (activated sludge, biofilm reactors) and self-purification processes in rivers. Besides being an important process for the protection of receiving waters, nitrification served as a proxy for the understanding of the behavior of a narrowly defined group of microorganisms growing on known substrates under environmental conditions. Until the upcoming of readily available microbial genetic techniques, nitrification was the single most studied microbial process in environmental engineering.
This webpage reflects new technologies in environmental engineering and discusses latest publications in the same field. It also shares the latest accomplishments in biological water and wastewater treatment as well as separation engineering.
