Flue gases are emissions that contain various pollutants in different concentrations and give rise to many health problems and environmental problems in the environment. Biological methods used in flue gas treatment; more economical, more efficient and environmentally friendly than physical and / or chemical methods. Biological methods can be applied within a filter or after contamination in liquid. The types of bacteria used in these methods are the main factors affecting the flue gas temperature, pH, and moisture treatment yield. A good control mechanism is needed under supervision as there are many factors that affect efficiency. In this study, different methods and factors affecting the treatment efficiency of ammonia in flue gas were investigated.
