Nitrite
1. An intermediate stage in the process of nitrification. 2. Nitrous oxide salts used in food preservation Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2) The result of nitric oxide combining with oxygen in the atmosphere major component of photochemical smog.
nitrite nitrogen in the soil dissolved in water to gaseous
nitrogen.
density (DEN-sit-tee). A measure of how heavy a substance ...
Nitrification The conversion of nitrites to nitrates, usually by microorganisms. The term is commonly used to describe the process of conversion of ammonium ions via nitrites to nitrates.
denitrification the microbial production of N2 and N2O from nitrites and nitrates, mostly anaerobic, but not always ...
0 ppmdenitrification The biochemical conversion of dissolved nitrate and nitrite nitrogen in soil or water to nitrogen gas. desalination The removal of dissolved salts, such as sodium chloride, from water.
Denitrification- Step in the nitrogen cycle which involves the reduction of nitrates into nitrite, nitrous oxide, ammonia or elemental nitrogen.
Nitrification The biological oxidation of ammonia and ammonium sequentially to nitrite and then nitrate. It occurs naturally in surface waters, and can be engineered in wastewater treatment systems.
Denitrification: biochemical conversion of nitrate (NO3) to nitrite (NO2), ammonia (NH3), and free nitrogen (N), as in soil by microorganisms.
Dioxins: heterocyclic hydrocarbons that occur as toxic impurities, especially in pesticides.
chemically attack contaminants in water (iron, arsenic, hydrogen sulfide, nitrites, and complex organics lumped together as "color"),
provide an aid to flocculation (a process of agglomeration of molecules, which aids in filtration...
denitrification
Reduction of nitrates to nitrites, nitrogen oxides or dinitrogen (N2) catalysed by facultative aerobic soil bacteria under anaerobic conditions.
The forms include nitrate, nitrite, ammonia, organic nitrogen (in the form of plant material or other organic compounds), and phosphates (orthophosphate and others).
The process whereby ammonia in wastewater is oxidized to nitrite and then to nitrate by bacterial or chemical reactions.

Denitrification: Bacterial reduction of nitrite to gaseous nitrogen under anaerobic conditions.
Nitrification: The process whereby ammonia in wastewater is oxidized to nitrite and then to nitrate by bacterial or chemical reactions.
Several forms occur in water, including ammonia, nitrate, nitrite or elemental nitrogen. High levels of nitrogen in water are usually caused by agricultural runoff or improperly operating wastewater treatment plants. Also see phosphorous.
denitrification. The biochemical conversion of nitrate; and nitrite nitrogen in the soil dissolved in water to gaseous nitrogen.
Anoxic
describes a condition in which a liquid has become devoid of oxygen and in which certain microorganisms can obtain oxygen from nitrate or nitrite ions ...
denitrification 1) Chemical conversion of nitrates to molecular nitrogen or to nitrous oxide or to ammonia by bacteria or by lightning. 2) The biochemical conversion of nitrate and nitrite nitrogen in the soil or contained in water to gaseous ...
