Anaerobic Processes.

The anaerobic processes literature review contains a comprehensive discussion of articles published in 2010 with emphasis on biological wastewater treatment processes that exploit an environment devoid of oxygen. Anaerobic systems, like the upflow anaerobic sludge blanket (UASB) reactor and the anaerobic filter (AF), represent the traditional emphasis of anaerobic processes literature review. Anaerobic hydrogen production and anaerobic ammonia oxidation (anammox) have been incorporated more recently into this chapter of the literature review. This year's anaerobic processes literature review is divided into the following sections: integrated approaches, modeling advances, process technology, hydrogen production, microbiology, anammox, treatability studies, and inhibition of the anaerobic process.
