denitrifikációt
Denitrifikációt is the Hungarian term for denitrification, a microbial process that converts nitrates into gaseous nitrogen. This process is a key part of the global nitrogen cycle and occurs under anaerobic (oxygen-free) conditions, primarily in soils and aquatic sediments. Certain bacteria, known as denitrifying bacteria, utilize nitrate as an electron acceptor in their respiration, using it to oxidize organic matter.
The overall process involves a series of reduction steps. Nitrates (NO3-) are first reduced to nitrites (NO2-),
Denitrification is also harnessed in wastewater treatment plants to remove nitrogen from sewage. By creating anaerobic
