Anaerobic ammonium oxidation coupled to Fe(III) reduction: Discovery, mechanism and application prospects in wastewater treatment

Fe(III) reduction coupled with anaerobic ammonium oxidation is known as Feammox. Feammox, which was first discovered in wetland ecosystems, has the potential to be used in wastewater treatment systems due to its ability to remove ammonium. Feammox can produce N 2 , NO 2 - or NO 3 - through the re…
