Abstract:The symbiosis system of algae and bacteria has the advantages of high efficiency, low consumption, and resource utilization in sewage treatment. However, the COD of most urban sewage treatment plants has been generally lower than expected thus reduces the removal rate of nitrogen and phosphorus in the upgrading process of achieving the level A discharged standard of urban sewage (GB 18918-2002). On the basis of constructing a symbiosis system of O. brevicingulatum and activated sludge, an external carbon source was used to promote its removal effect of nitrogen and phosphorus from urban sewage. The results showed that the optimized process conditions for the symbiosis system of O. brevicingulatum and activated sludge were as follow: the dry weight ratio of algae and bacteria was 3∶1, the initial biomass was 0.3 g·L?1, the aeration rate was 0.2 L·min?1, and the aeration and intermission interval was 6 h/6 h. After comparison of the four external carbon sources, NaHCO3 was determined as more suitable carbon source than CH3COONa, C6H12O6 and Na2CO3. Adding 100 mg·L?1 NaHCO3 in the simulated sewage, the removal rates of ammonia nitrogen (${\rm{NH}}_4^ + $-N), total nitrogen (TN), total phosphorus (TP) and COD were 98.7%, 78.6%, 71.6% and 100%, respectively. Through evaluating the effect of NaHCO3 on the growth of O. brevicingulatum and activated sludge by Monod kinetic method, the growth acceleration of O. brevicingulatum by NaHCO3 was more than that of activated sludge. Furthermore, a self-designed biofilm reactor with the symbiosis system was used to treat actual urban sewage, the nitrogen and phosphorus indicators in the effluent could reach the level A discharged standard of urban sewage after when NaHCO3 was added to increase the carbon source concentration in the influent. Key words:external carbon source/ symbiotic system of algae and bacteria/ removal of nitrogen and phosphorus/ urban sewage.
