Abstract: | Enhanced biological phosphorus removal (EBPR) is a commonly used and sustainable method for phosphorus removal from wastewater.
Poly-β-hydroxybutyrate (PHB), polyphosphate, and glycogen are three kinds of intracellular storage polymers in phosphorus accumulation
organisms. The variation of these polymers under different conditions has an apparent influence on anaerobic phosphorus release,
which is very important for controlling the performance of EBPR. To obtain the mechanism and kinetic character of anaerobic
phosphorus release, a series of batch experiments were performed using the excessively aerated sludge from the aerobic unit
of the biological phosphorus removal system in this study. The results showed that the volatile suspended solid (VSS) had
an increasing trend, while the mixed liquid suspended sludge (MLSS) and ashes were reduced during the anaerobic phosphorus
release process. The interruption of anaerobic HAc-uptake and phosphorus-release occurs when the glycogen in the phosphorus-accumulating-organisms
is exhausted. Under the condition of lower initial HAc-COD, HAc became the limiting factor after some time for anaerobic HAc
uptake. Under the condition of higher initial HAc-COD, HAc uptake was stopped because of the depletion of glycogen in the
microorganisms. The mean ratio of Δρ
P/Δρ
PHB, Δρ
GLY/Δρ
PHB, Δρ
P/ΔCOD, was 0.48, 0.50, 0.44, and 0.92, respectively, which was nearly the same as the theoretical value. The calibrated kinetic
parameters of the HAc-uptake and phosphorus-release model were evaluated as follows: Q
HAc,max was 164 mg/(g · h), Q
P,max was 69.9 mg/(g · h), K
gly was 0.005, and KCOD was 3 mg/L. An apparently linear correlation was observed between the ratio of Δρ
P/ΔCOD and pH of the solution, and the equation between them was obtained in this study.
