Low nitrogen removal efficiency caused by the lack of carbon source in low C/N ratio wastewater restricts the wastewater biological treatment. Advances in wastewater biological treatment at low C/N ratio are reviewed in the paper from three aspects, including modifying traditional biological nitrogen removal process, developing novel biological nitrogen removal processes and optimizing traditional carbon source and developing new types of carbon sources. The mechanisms, advantages, and applications of these processes are also summarized and analyzed.

The effects of silver (Ag) nanoparticles (NPs) on activated sludge in a biological nitrogen removal (BNR) process were investigated under aerobic and anoxic conditions. We show that nitrification was more vulnerable to Ag NPs exposure than denitrification at the same Ag NPs concentration. In continuous operation of the BNR process, a higher inhibitory effect on nitrification was attributed to a smaller size of Ag NPs. About 70–90% of the Ag NPs supplied were embedded in the sludge matrix but 10–30% of the Ag NPs remained in the supernatant. This indicates that significant amounts of Ag NPs could be discharged from wastewater treatment plants and potentially impact on aquatic ecosystems.

N2O (Nitrous oxide) is a strong greenhouse gas, and wastewater treatment process is one of the important artificial sources of N2O. Controlling N2O production and discharge in wastewater treatment process is beneficial to alleviate the greenhouse effect. Based on the mechanism of N2O production in biological nitrogen removal process, emission characteristics and influencing factors of N2O in three traditional biological nitrogen removal processes, A/A/O, SBR and oxidation ditch, and two new biological nitrogen removal processes, SBBR and CANON, have been reviewed. Furthermore, a control strategy for slowing the generation and release of N2O is proposed, which provides a reference for researchers in related field.

Biological denitrification of wastewater is a widespread technology for nitrogen removal from wastewater. Activated sludge technology is dominating over biofilm processes in practice. Recirculation and alternating processes are used to the same degree. The typical effluent quality that can be achieved on a long-term average is 4–10 mg/l of total nitrogen. Under certain circumstances effluent concentrations of 2–3 mg N/l can be obtained. Soluble organic nitrogen and nitrate are the dominating compounds in the effluent. Of these two, the soluble organic nitrogen content is difficult to control.
