Microalgae-bacteria symbiosis enhanced nitrogen removal from wastewater in an inversed fluidized bed bioreactor: performance and microflora

Conventional wastewater biological nitrogen removal (BNR) processes require a large amount of air and external organic carbon, causing a significant increase in operating costs and potential secondary pollution. Herein, this study investigated the nitrogen removal performance and the underlying mech...
