| Abstract |
Biofilm processes have a better nitrogen removal ability than traditional activated sludge at low temperatures (< 15 °C). Many biofilm processes, as well as integrated biofilm and activated sludge processes, are potential and realizable nitrogen removal upgrading methods for domestic wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs). Therefore, biofilm packing material is attractive for domestic WWTP upgrading and reconstruction in winter. For a half decade, researchers have successfully applied activated carbon to biochar as biofilm carrier in the wastewater treatment field. Biochar, as a biostable soil amendment with pores and crevices on its surface, has been applied in the soil-plant system, which promoted the adsorption of NH4+ and NO3-, decreased N2O emission, transcriptional level of narG, nxrA, and nirS, and changed the microbial community composition for better nitrogen removal. However, in the field of wastewater treatment, the study of biochar-packed process is merely in the laboratory stage of simulated wastewater, which deserves further research in the future. In this mini review, we will discuss the performances of different processes at low temperatures, the related mechanism of the biochar-packed process for nitrogen removal, and other potential applications of biochar carriers. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 16 September 2018.
All research outputs
#21,608,038
of 24,119,703 outputs
Outputs from Applied Microbiology and Biotechnology
#6,994
of 8,034 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#297,562
of 340,890 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Applied Microbiology and Biotechnology
#94
of 128 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 24,119,703 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 8,034 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 4.3. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 340,890 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 128 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
