What is the process of nitrification?

What is the process of nitrification? Nitrification is a microbial process by which reduced nitrogen compounds (primarily ammonia) are sequentially oxidized to nitrite and nitrate. Ammonia is present in drinking water through either naturally-occurring processes or through ammonia addition during secondary disinfection to form chloramines. What are the steps of nitrification? In general, the nitrogen […]

How does shape affect diffusion?
