"effect of coagulants on electrochemical process for phosphorus removal from activated sludge effluent"

چکیده
according to environmental protection organization of iran, maximum permissible concentration of residual phosphorus in treated municipal wastewater is 1 mg /l-p. the total average phosphorus concentration in raw municipal wastewater is about 8 mg / l; about 70 percent of the incoming phosphorus normally is discharged with secondary treatment plant effluents. in this research, the role of adding different kinds of coagulants on phosphorus removal efficiency of an electrochemical process was investigated. the research is a bench scale experimental type using batch system for elec. process with direct current. samples were collected from an extended aeration effluent. the used electrode was steel type and its total effective area was 336 cm2. in each run 1500 ml of sample was placed in an electrolytic cell equipped with magnetic stirrer. the results show that phosphorus removal efficiency increases by increasing of dc and reaction time. minimum rate of current/percentage of removal was obtained for 0.6amp current and under the same conditions minimum rate of reaction time/percentage of removal was provided in 15 min. in 6min reaction time and 0.6amp current, adding poly aluminum chloride (pac) up to about 27 mg/l could improve the efficiency up to about 50%. but under the same condition, similar results were not observed in 12min reaction time. besides, adding alum or ferrous sulfate showed similar behavior to pac. electrochemical treatment without addition of coagulants and thereby without any changes on the primary characteristics of the sample can remove the phosphorus up to about 93%. but in the case of sufficient reaction time for electrochemical process, adding coagulants can not improve the efficiency and in comparison to a chemical precipitation alone, the use of electrochemical treatment can not reduce the required doses of coagulants in short reaction time.

Polyphosphate kinase from activated sludge performing enhanced biological phosphorus removal.
A novel polyphosphate kinase (PPK) was retrieved from an uncultivated organism in activated sludge carrying out enhanced biological phosphorus removal (EBPR). Acetate-fed laboratory-scale sequencing batch reactors were used to maintain sludge with a high phosphorus content (approximately 11% of the biomass). PCR-based clone libraries of small subunit rRNA genes and fluorescent in situ hybridiza...
متن کاملThe microbiology of biological phosphorus removal in activated sludge systems.
Activated sludge systems are designed and operated globally to remove phosphorus microbiologically, a process called enhanced biological phosphorus removal (EBPR). Yet little is still known about the ecology of EBPR processes, the microbes involved, their functions there and the possible reasons why they often perform unreliably. The application of rRNA-based methods to analyze EBPR community s...

متن کاملThe role of extracellular exopolymers in the removal of phosphorus from activated sludge.
Biological phosphorus removal in activated sludge systems is thought to be a result of the action of polyphosphate accumulating organisms (PAO). However, not all phosphorus removed can be accounted for by PAO. A method for the qualitative in situ characterization of PAO cell clusters and closely associated extracellular exopolymers (EPS) is described. X-ray microanalysis was performed on sample...
متن کاملNonoxidative removal of organics in the activated sludge process
The activated sludge process is commonly used to treat wastewater by aerobic oxidation of organic pollutants into carbon dioxide and water. However, several nonoxidative mechanisms can also contribute to removal of organics. Sorption onto activated sludge can remove a large fraction of the colloidal and particulate wastewater organics. Intracellular storage of, e.g., polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA)...
