RESUMEN

En la presente revisión se presentan algunos de los avances en el conocimiento del ciclo del nitrógeno y en la eliminación biológica del nitrógeno de las aguas residuales. Se revisan algunos de los factores señalados como causantes de la acumulación de compuestos intermediarios durante la nitrificación y desnitrificación y se describen alternativas recientes para obtener procesos de tratamiento de aguas residuales sustentables, resaltando el empleo del amonio como fuente de electrones para lograr la desnitrificación de cargas altas nitrogenadas.
