Nitrification

Nitrification is a microbial biogeochemical process within nitrogen cycling whereby ammonium is oxidized to nitrate via nitrite, mediated by specialized autotrophic bacteria, serving as a critical step in nitrogen removal and biological treatment processes in systems such as activated sludge, trickling filters, sequencing batch reactors, constructed wetlands, and aquaculture filtration.
