Nitrogen Transformations and Microbial Characterization of Soils from Passive Nitrogen Removing Biofilters
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: To investigate spatial variability, regulation, and mass balances of N transformations in nitrogen-removing biofilters (NRBs), N2─N production and NO3−─N consumption were measured in suboxic incubations of nitrified percolate ...
Microbial Communities in Partially and Fully Treated Effluent of Three Nitrogen-Removing Biofilters
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: In the United States, 24% of single-family homes have on-site wastewater treatment systems (OWTS). Not only is the proportion much higher in some areas, but also most of the OWTS provide no nitrogen removal. An innovative ...
Biogeochemical Sequestration of Phosphorus in a Two-Layer Lignocellulose-Based Soil Treatment System
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: On-site wastewater treatment systems can contribute to the oversupply of phosphorus (P) to aquatic systems which represents a key factor for the development of eutrophic conditions and associated environmental issues, such ...
