Abstract:
      Chlorella vulgaris and activated sludge were immobilized using green zeolite and corncob as composite carriers to explore a new method for removing nitrogen from wastewater with low C/N. We investigated the denitrification capacity of immobilized algae-bacteria system(IABS)and hydraulic retention time(HRT)on denitrification efficiency. The composite carrier effectively optimized the C/N of wastewater, and the constructed immobilized algae-bacteria system effectively removed nitrogen from wastewater with low C/N. The denitrification effect of the device increased with longer HRT. With an HRT of 18 h, the removal rate of TN and NH4+-N reached up to 98% and 100%, respectively. The immobilized algae-bacteria system constructed by the composite carrier of green zeolite and corncob efficiently removes nitrogen without needing to continuously add a carbon source and has stable effluent quality.
