N2 - Among various nitrogen compounds, ammonia-nitrogen is the most important one to be controlled because of its abundance in domestic and industrial wastewaters. Furthermore, urea and certain complex organic compounds such as proteins or free amino acids may ultimately yield ammonia upon hydrolysis or deamination. Therefore, in view of the significance of ammonia-nitrogen control requirements, this paper presents a critical review of available literature on one of the most promising method of ammonia removal by air stripping.
