Anaerobic ammonium oxidation(Anammox) is a microbial oxidation process of ammonium,with nitrite as the electron acceptor and dinitrogen gas as the main product,and is performed by a clade of deeply branched Planctomycetes,which possess an intracytoplasmic membrane-bounded organelle,the anammoxosome,for the Anammox process.

Several newly developed processes, such as shortcut nitrification-denitrification, simultaneous nitrification-denitrification (SND) and especially anaerobic ammonium oxidation (ANAMMOX), were reviewed and discussed .

Anaerobic ammonium oxidation (anammox) is a new field of biological nitrogen removal from wastewater,however,the anammox biomass with slowly-growing and strict demand of environmental conditions has become a big obstacle for the full-scale implementation of anammox.

With new theoretical development of biological nitrogen removal,nitrogen removal processes have been developed,such as short-cut nitrification and denitrification, simultaneous nitrification and denitrification and anaerobic ammonium oxidation (ANAMMOX),et al.
