ABSTRACT
This article provides an overview of the removal of organic micropollutants in wastewater treatment plants, with a focus on the promoting effect of the ammonia oxidation process on the removal of organic micropollutants, leading to the emergence of co-metabolic studies of ammonia-oxidizing microorganisms. By analyzing the functional enzymes involved in co-metabolism and the structural analysis of transformation products, the fate of pollutants during removal and some key factors influencing removal are understood, providing new insights for the removal of such pollutants. The results demonstrate that co-metabolism through ammonia oxidation is a primary pathway for biological removal of pollutants, and all three types of ammonia-oxidizing microorganisms play crucial roles in this process. Ammonia monooxygenase, as a functional enzyme in co-metabolic transformation, facilitates the hydroxylation of pollutants for their removal. Certain parameters in wastewater treatment plants have an impact on the co-metabolic process, such as ammonia nitrogen concentration, temperature, and solids retention time (SRT), and optimization of these parameters can maximize the efficiency of pollutant removal.
