Landfill leachate is an enormous problem in the UK with major environmental consequences for pollution, eutrophication and climate change. The aim of this PhD project is to provide a novel solution to ammonium removal from the landfill leachate through the microbially driven anammox (anaerobic ammonium oxidation) reaction. Anammox is a very important step in the global nitrogen cycle and carried out by an unusual and fascinating group of microorganisms of the phylum Planctomycetes. Anammox was only discovered 20 years ago, but has been used successfully for large-scale wastewater treatment. This studentship will pioneer a novel application of the anammox technology in landfill leachate treatment and reveal important insights into microbiology and nitrogen fluxes in constructed wetlands.

垃圾渗滤液在英国是一个巨大的问题，对污染、富营养化和气候变化造成重大环境后果。这个博士项目的目的是通过微生物驱动的厌氧氨氧化（厌氧氨氧化）反应提供一种新的解决方案，从垃圾渗滤液中去除铵。厌氧氨氧化是全球氮循环中非常重要的一步，由浮游菌门的一组不寻常而迷人的微生物进行。Anammox于20年前才被发现，但已成功用于大规模废水处理。该研究将开创厌氧氨氧化技术在垃圾渗滤液处理中的新应用，并揭示人工湿地中微生物和氮通量的重要见解。
