The drinking water treatment plants (DWTPs) in the developing countries urgently need an efficient pre-treatment for nitrate (NO3-) removal to cope with the increasing NO3- pollution in raw water. An upflow sludge blanket (USB) reactor applied for NO3- removal from domestic wastewater may be adopted...
