Abstract:In this research, three commonly used coagulants (FeCl3, PAC and Al2(SO4)3) and hydroxyl iron particle adsorbent were used to remove phosphorus from the secondary effluent of a municipal treatment plant. Based on the analysis of the speciation and concentration of phosphorus, the removal effects of different phosphorus forms and technical economy of the coagulation and adsorption methods were discussed under the same water quality and environmental conditions. The results showed that the average TP concentration in the secondary effluent of this plant was 0.332 mg·L?1. The soluble active phosphate was the main form, accounting for 64.16% of TP. Compared with FeCl3, Al2(SO4)3 and PAC were two suitable coagulants for TP removal, and TP concentration in effluent lowered to below 0.05 mg·L?1 at Al2(SO4)3 or PAC dosage of 3 mg·L?1. Additionally, the removal efficiency of particulate phosphorus and other soluble phosphorus was relatively inferior to that of soluble reactive phosphate, the later could be completely removed by Al2(SO4)3 or PAC coagulation. Through the analysis of technical economy of TP removal system, Al2(SO4)3 was selected as the best coagulant. Besides, the adsorption effect of hydroxyl iron adsorbent on soluble reactive phosphate was significant, while on other soluble phosphorus was relatively poor. The TP concentration in effluent was below 0.05 mg·L?1 when the empty bed contact time (EBCT) was longer than 10 min. In view of long-term economic benefits, the performance of adsorbent was better than that of coagulant. Key words:second effluent/ phosphorus speciation/ chemical sedimentation/ adsorption/ advanced phosphorus removal.
