Research progress of nitrate-dependent ferrous oxidation
Conventional biological denitrification is limited by the insufficient carbon source in the wastewater,resulting in low total nitrogen removal,and additional carbon sources need to be added in the actual treatment.Nitrate-dependent ferrous oxidation(NDFO)as an eco-nomic and secondary pollution-free autotrophic denitrification technology,can effectively deal with the problem of insufficient carbon source in the influent water.This paper summa-rizes the reaction principle of NDFO and the functional microorganisms of NDFO,and re-views the nitrogen removal enhancement measures of NDFO by elaborating the effect of ac-etate on NDFO and the coupling of NDFO and Feammox.
