Biological Processes

Biological solid waste includes bacterial and contaminated waste produced by living individuals. Its treatment is essential to prevent the spread of any air-borne or water-borne diseases or diseases transmitted from one organism to another in a food chain. There are many benefits of the biological solid waste treatment and some of them are: the minimized quantity of waste substance, waste control, eradicating any disease-causing pathogens, generation of biogas, composting, anaerobic digestion, bio drying, mechanical biological treatment, microbial fuel cell, phytoremediation, and biofiltration. The final products of the biological solid waste treatment may be recycled to obtain organic fertilizers or disposed of in SWDS (Solid Waste Disposal Site) after proper treatment.

With the increased use of chloramines (e.g., NH2CI) as a residual disinfectant in water supply, ammonia concentrations in drinking water have increased. Nitrifying microorganisms use ammonia (NH4) as an electron donor (oxidized to NO) and oxygen (Oz) as an electron acceptor (reduced to H2O) in a process known as nitrification. The microorganisms use inorganic carbon (dissolved COz and HCO3) as their carbon sources. These microorganisms can be classified as ( )? A. photoautotroph B. chemoautotroph C. chemoheterotroph
