By capturing nitrogen from wastewater, we can avoid production of ammonia, which makes up 1.4 percent of global carbon emissions.

The major transformations of nitrogen are nitrogen fixation, nitrification, denitrification, anammox, and ammonification (Figure 1).

Promising Results Findings of the life-cycle analysis show that air-stripping emits about five to 10 times less greenhouse gas than the Haber-Bosch nitrogen-producing process and uses about five to 15 ...

“We're using biology to attract the natural bacteria that converts nitrate to nitrogen gas and puts it back in the atmosphere and finishes the nitrogen cycle.” ...

As a result, global change researchers will have to change their estimations on the nitrification potential in the global nitrogen cycle.' Wastewater treatment ...

The nitrogen cycle The nitrogen cycle, in which atmospheric nitrogen is converted into different organic compounds, is one the most crucial natural processes to sustain living organisms.

Bedford Basin is a nitrogen-rich coastal basin, where it is affected by wastewater from the Halifax Regional Municipality. An active nitrogen cycle exists in the dark bottom of the basin (60 m depth).

Suffolk lawmakers, scientists and conservationists marked the completion of a man-made wetland to treat wastewater and reduce nitrogen levels.

But that nitrogen influx has disrupted Earth’s natural nitrogen cycle. Today, nitrogen pollution is causing overshoot of several planetary boundaries.
