Abstract:Chlorella Vulgaris was immobilized in the embedding material of sodium alginate beads with additive of biochar, this biochar-alginate-jointly immobilized C. Vulgaris was used to remove ammonia nitrogen from water. The results showed that this biochar-alginate-jointly immobilized C. Vulgaris exerted the synergistic effects of biochar adsorption and C. Vulgaris uptake, and promoted C. Vulgaris growth of and ammonia nitrogen removal. The removal rate of ammonia nitrogen increased with the increase of the addition amount and diameter of biochar-alginate-jointly immobilized C. Vulgaris beads. The optimum conditions for preparation of the beads were as follows: biochar concentration of 0.26 g·L?1, sodium alginate mass fraction of 1.8%, C. Vulgaris density embedded in beads of 3.0×106 cells·mL?1 and CaCl2 mass fraction of 1%, and ammonia nitrogen removal rate of recycled beads could reach 66.87%. Biochar promoted the resource utilization of high concentration ammonia nitrogen wastewater by immobilized microalgae. Key words:biochar/ sodium alginate/ immobilization/ Chlorella Vulgaris/ ammonia nitrogen removal rate.
