Microalgae cultivation using an aquaculture wastewater as growth medium for biomass and biofuel production

Microalgae as a main feedstock has attracted much attention in recent years but is still not economically feasible due to high algal culture cost. The objective of this study was to develop a comprehensive eco-friendly technology for cultivating microalgae Platymonas subcordiformis using aquaculture wastewater as growth medium for biomass and biofuel production. Platymonas subcordiformis was grown in pretreated flounder aquaculture wastewaters taken from different stages. Each of wastewater contained different levels of nutrients. The biomass yield of microalgae and associated nitrogen and phosphorous removal were investigated. The results showed that algal cell density increased 8.9 times than the initial level. Platymonas subcordiformis removed nitrogen and phosphorus from wastewater with an average removal efficiency of 87%-95% for nitrogen and 98%-99% for phosphorus. It was feasible to couple the removal of nitrogen and phosphorus from wastewater to algal biomass and biofuel production. However, further studies are required to make this technologies economically viable for algae biofuel production.     

Nitrogen and phosphorus removal in an airlift intermittent circulation membrane bioreactor

A new airlift intermittent circulation integrated bioreactor was developed for simultaneous nitrogen and phosphorus removal of wastewater, in which, circulation of mixed liquid between mixing zone and aeration zone was realized by aeration power, alternately anaerobic/anoxic bio-environment in mixing zone was realized by intermittent circulation and simultaneous nitrogen and phosphorus removal was obtained through strengthened denitrifying phosphorus removal process. Removal performance of the reactor was investigated and pollutant removal and transfer mechanism in one operation circle was analyzed. The experiment results indicated that under the influent condition of chemical oxygen demand (COD) concentration of 642.1 mg/L, total nitrogen (TN) of 87.4 mg/L and PO₄^3--P of 12.1 mg/L, average removal efficiencies of COD, TN and PO₄^3--P reached 96.4%, 83.2% and 90.5%, respectively, with the hydraulic residence time of 22 hr and operation circle time of 185 min. Track studies indicated that the separation of aeration and mixing zones and intermittent circulation of mixed liquid between the two zones provided distinct biological environments spatially and temporally, which ensured the occurrence of multifunctional microbial reactions.     

植物滞留系统中草本植物对磷的去除效果研究

以黑麦草、地毯草、高羊茅和早熟禾为研究对象,研究4种草本植物在植物滞留系统中不同介质、不同入口浓度下对城市非点源(人工降雨径流)中污染物磷的富集能力和去除效果。结果表明:4种草本植物对人工降雨径流中的磷均有明显的去除效果,TP平均去除率在60.24%～83.56%。不同草本植物去除人工降雨径流中TP的能力,从强到弱的顺序依次为:早熟禾>黑麦草>地毯草>高羊茅。其中,对于同一种草本植物同样的入口浓度情况下,沙土Ⅱ为最佳土壤介质,具有最佳的去除磷能力。4种草本植物对磷的去除率随入口浓度的增加,去除率也随之增加。4种草本植物地上部和地下部磷累积量分别为2.27～5.92 mg和4.33～6.46 mg;其中黑麦草磷累积总量最高,其次是地毯草,最低的是早熟禾。综合考虑污染物去除率和磷在植物体内的累积量,交替种植早熟禾和黑麦草可提高植物滞留系统去磷能力且有利于延长系统寿命。
