Enzymatic nitrous oxide emissions from wastewatertreatment
N2O release variesin response to enzyme-catalyzed nitrogen imbalances. The enzymology involved in N2O production and consumption are introduced. The pathways of N2O production and consumption are summarized. Key factors affecting N2O release and enzymatic mechanisms are summarized/revealed. Enzymatic strategies are proposed tomitigate N2O emissions.
Nitrous oxide (N2O), a potent greenhousegas, is emitted during nitrogen removal in wastewater treatment, significantlycontributing to greenhouse effect. Nitrogen removal generally involvesnitrification and denitrification catalyzed by specific enzymes. N2O production and consumption vary considerably in responseto specific enzyme-catalyzed nitrogen imbalances, but the mechanismsare not yet completely understood. Studying the regulation of relatedenzymes’ activity is essential to minimize N2O emissions during wastewater treatment. This paper aims to reviewthe poorly understood related enzymes that most commonly involvedin producing and consuming N2O in terms oftheir nature, structure and catalytic mechanisms. The pathways ofN2O emission during wastewater treatment arebriefly introduced. The key environmental factors influencing N2O emission through regulatory enzymes are summarizedand the enzyme-based mechanisms are revealed. Several enzyme-basedtechniques for mitigating N2O emissions directlyor indirectly are proposed. Finally, areas for further research onN2O release during wastewater treatment arediscussed.
