Anaerobic ammonium oxidation (anammox) is an energy-efficient method for nitrogen removal that opens the possibility for energy-neutral wastewater treatment. Research on anammox over the past decade has primarily focused on its implementation in domestic wastewater treatment. However, emerging studies are now expanding its use to novel biotechnological applications and wastewater treatment processes. This review highlights recent advances in the anammox field that aim to overcome conventional bottlenecks, and explores novel and niche-specific applications of the anammox process. Despite the promising results and potential of these advances, challenges persist for their real-world implementation. This underscores the need for a transition from laboratory achievements to practical, scalable solutions for wastewater treatment which mark the next crucial phase in the evolution of anammox research.
厌氧氨氧化（anammox）是一种高效节能的脱氮方法，为实现废水处理的能量平衡提供了可能。过去十年的 anammox 研究主要集中在其在生活污水处理中的应用。然而，新兴的研究现在正在将其扩展到新型生物技术应用和废水处理工艺中。本综述强调了 anammox 领域的最新进展，旨在克服传统的瓶颈，并探讨了 anammox 工艺的新颖和特定于利基的应用。尽管这些进展有令人鼓舞的结果和潜力，但在实际应用中仍然存在挑战。这突显了从实验室成果向实际、可扩展的废水处理解决方案转变的必要性，这标志着 anammox 研究发展的下一个关键阶段。
