The culture achieved a nitrite-to-N<sub>2</sub>O conversion efficiency exceeding 60%, with a production rate of 6.0 ± 0.2 mg of N<sub>2</sub>O-N h<sup>–1</sup> (g volatile suspended solids)<sup>−1</sup>. Stable acidic denitrification was sustained in semicontinuous operation, with liquid N<sub>2</sub>O concentrations accumulating up to 150 mg of N/L. This discovery introduces a novel pathway for N<sub>2</sub>O production and recovery, offering new possibilities for wastewater nitrogen management.</p>","PeriodicalId":37,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Science & Technology Letters Environ.","volume":"12 4","pages":"425–431 425–431"},"PeriodicalIF":8.9,"publicationDate":"2025-03-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143790562","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
