Nitrogen and its compounds in wastewater

The bachelor thesis summarizes the possible forms of nitrogen and nitrogen compounds in wastewater and ways of elimination of these compounds including physical/chemical processes and biological processes. The physical/chemical methods described in the thesis are air stripping, breakpoint chlorination, sorption and membrane separation. The biological processes include nitrification, denitrification, anoxic ammonium oxidation and SHARON, CANON and OLAND systems. The experimental part is devoted to quantifying nitrates, nitrites and ammonium in wastewater samples using mobile analytical methods
