Carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus removal from domestic wastewater by alternating aerobic-anoxic process

excessive amount of nutrients (nitrogen and phosphorus) released from wastewater may lead to degradation of the receiving water and can induce adverse effects on human health and the environment. the use of coupled nitrificationdenitrification can significantly remove major pollutants from domestic...
