A comparison between ethanol and methanol as carbon sources for denitrification
TLDR
Ethanol was found to be considerably more readily available as a carbon source for denitrification than was methanol, and an efficient denitrify with ethanol was established in a short time, while den itrification with meethanol required a substantial adaptation time and never showed the same stability as denitrified with ethanol.About:

Nitrous oxide emissions from wastewater treatment processes
TL;DR: With increased understanding of the fundamental reactions responsible for N 2O production in wastewater treatment systems and the conditions that stimulate their occurrence, reduction of N2O emissions from wastewater treatment plants through improved plant design and operation will be achieved in the near future.
Journal ArticleDOI
Denitrification of high nitrate concentration wastewater using alternative carbon sources
TL;DR: The use of different organic carbon sources in the denitrification of wastewater containing 2500 mg nitrates/L in a SBR was studied and the lowest value was obtained using the lactic acid-rich residue.
Journal ArticleDOI
Soil nitrate reducing processes drivers, mechanisms for spatial variation, and significance for nitrous oxide production
TL;DR: An increased knowledge of the effects of spatial heterogeneity in soil on nitrate reduction processes will be fundamental in understanding the drivers, location, and potential for N2O production from soils.
Journal ArticleDOI
Carbon and oxygen controls on N2O and N2 production during nitrate reduction
TL;DR: In this article, the authors provide evidence that the form of carbon compound and O2 concentration exert an inter-related regulation on the production and reduction of N2O in soil.

The effect of temperature and carbon source on denitrification using volatile fatty acids
P. Elefsiniotis,D. Li +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of temperature and carbon source on denitrification was explored, and it was observed that a temperature change from 10 to 20°C exerted a greater effect on both the specific denitification and carbon consumption rates than a further temperature increase from 20 to 30°C, which was also evident in the corresponding temperature coefficient values.
