denitrification is a reduction of nitrate by heterotrophic and autotrophic bacteria that may ultimately produce molecular nitrogen (n2) through a series of intermediate nitrogen compounds.vermiculite is a hydrous phyllosilicate mineral (mg, fe+2,fe+3)3[(al,si)4o10](oh)2·4h2o with several layers for bacterial immobilization. the goal of this study was removal of nitrate from water with vermiculi...

conclusions in conclusion, the electrocoagulation process can be used for removing nitrate from water resources because of high efficiency, simplicity, and relatively low cost. results results of the present study showed that the removal efficiency was increased from 27% to 86% as ph increased from 3 to 11 at the optimal condition of 30 v and 75 min operation time. moreover, by increasing the r...

background: nitrate is an acute and well-known hazardous contaminant, and its contamination of water sources has been a growing concern worldwide in recent years. this study evaluated the feasibility of nitrate removal from water using the traditional coagulants alum and ferric chloride with lower concentrations than those used in the conventional coagulation process. methods: in this research,...

Background & objectives: Because of its very high solubility, nitrate penetrates easily into soil and underground waters. Surface waters such as lakes, reservoirs, and rivers are exposed to nitrate pollution. Photocatalytic processes have a high potential for nitrate removal due to complete oxidation, lack of formation of multi-cycle metabolites and the availability of catalysts. The purpose of...

nitrate pollutants increase the growth of algal bloom, resulting in fresh water eutrophication. the high nitrogen level in wastewater has become a growing concern, which has risen the necessity to develop efficient nitrogen removal techniques. biological denitrification, which is the reduction of oxidized nitrogen compounds like nitrate or nitrite to gaseous nitrogen compounds, is the most impo...

Background & Aims of the Study: Nitrate is one of the most important contaminants in aquatic environments that can leached to water resources from various sources such as sewage, fertilizers and decomposition of organic waste. Reduction of nitrate to nitrite in infant’s blood stream can cause “blue baby” disease in infants. The aim of this study was to evaluate the...
