The paper presents review of a state of know-how on the biochemical changes of mineral nitrogen. New ways of nitrogen elimination from waste water were described: autotrophic nitrification/autotrophic oxygen denitrification, autotrophic nitrification/autotrophic anaerobic denitrification (anaerobic ammonium oxidation), heterotrophic nitrification/heterotrophic oxygen nitrification.
