Abstract Indonesia is one of the countries that still have to deal with waste problems. In reducing waste, the government has made a series of efforts to reduce waste, especially wastewater. There are many kinds of wastewater. One of them is laundry wastewater. This research aims to estimate the dangerous substance in laundry wastewater and how to treat it. The method using some variables like Al-Al, Al-Fe, Fe-Fe, and Fe-Al and the voltage is changing from 20 V, 30 V, 40 V, and 60 V. The research shows that the most optimum result of laundry wastewater treatment was using Al-Fe electrode plate 60 V. The result that the phosphate concentration decreased by 6.56 mg/l from 9.58 mg/l to 3.01 mg/l and obtained phosphate removal efficiency of 68.56%. The most optimum results for the removal of phosphate levels contained in the 60 V voltage.

The effect s of aeration time on the treatment of brewery wastewater in SBR reactor were investigated by using synthetic brewery wastewater. The experimental result indicates that under the condition of influent COD is 300~650mg/L, the temperature is 25°C, continual aerations is 2.5 h and sludge density is 2000~3000 mg/L, the reactor has a good degeneration ability of COD and NH4+-N in simulation brewery wastewater,removal rate can reached 90 % or more,phosphate removal efficiency was above 70%. so the SBR technology is feasible.

Abstract This study aimed to enhance the removal of phosphate in synthetic rural sewage by using a continuous electrocoagulation combined with biofilm process in an integrated system. Characteristic indexes of biofilm process effluent covering pH, DO, SS, COD and phosphate maintained a narrow fluctuation range and tended not readily to influence the phosphate removal of subsequent electrocoagulation. Three parameters including inter-electrode distance, current intensity and reaction time were selected to investigate the performance of enhancing phosphate removal. On the strength of single-factor tests, the Box-Behnken design (BBD) coupled with response surface methodology (RSM) was applied to investigate the individual and mutual interaction impacts of the major operating parameters and to optimize conditions. The optimum conditions were found to be inter-electrode distance of 1.8 cm, current density of 2.1 mA/cm2 and EC reaction time of 34 min, and the phosphate removal efficiency was achieved to be 90.24% along with less than 1 mg/L in case of periodic polarity switching mode, which raised removal efficiency by 10.10% and reduced operating cost by 0.13 CNY/g PO4− compared to non-switching mode. The combination of biofilm processing and electrocoagulation treatment was proven a valid and feasible method for enhancing phosphate removal.

Phosphorus removal from wastewater has always been given serious attention in sewage treatment. Eutrophication can happen if phosphorus wastewater is directly discharged into natural water and high phosphorus-contained irrigation water may lead crops beat down. The research investigated the phosphorus removal efficiency in wastewater by shell powder. The experiment results showed that the best removal effect could meet the Wastewater Treatment Plant Discharge Standard (GB18918-2002) Grade I-A in China, which can be achieved under the conditions of the dosage of shell powder solution 1 ml, pH > 11 and precipitation one to four hours at the initial phosphorus concentration of about 3 mg/L.

Red mud has been used to develop effective adsorbents to remove phosphate from aqueous solution. The effects of different dosage, pH of solution and reaction time on adsorption have been examined in batch experiments. It was found that red mud samples show higher removal efficiency for phosphate. The results showed that phosphate removal efficiency was found to be 97 % with optimal reaction conditions initial phosphate concentration 100mg L−1, red mud dosage 10g L−1, pH 2.0, respectively. The phosphate removal efficiency of the red mud adsorbents decreases with increase of pH.

In order to find a method for removing low-concentration phosphate from phosphogypsum leachate, modified quartz sand was used as adsorbent. The effects of adsorbent dosage, phosphate concentration and adsorption time on phosphate removal efficiency were investigated. The results show that the optimum dosage of modified quartz sand was 0.024g/mL. The effluent phosphate concentration was lower than 0.023g/mL, and the phosphate removal efficiency could reach up to 98%.

Dolomite, an industrial solid material was used as an adsorbent to remove phosphate anions from wastewater. The effects of initial pH, initial phosphate concentration, reaction time, reaction temperature and adsorbent dosage on the phosphate removal efficiency were investigated. The results show that the phosphate removal efficiency exceed 99% under the conditions of pH 9.5, temperature 30 °C, reaction time 50 min, particle size <0.074 mm, initial phosphate concentration 50 mg•L-1, adsorbent dosage 10g•L-1 and stirring speed 250 r/min. After phosphate removal reaction, the residual phosphate concentrations completely meet the requirement of national discharge standards of the second category pollution (GB 1A (TP = 0.5 mgL-1)).

Eco-friendly flocculants of alginic acid, NaHCO3 and CaCl2.2H2O with advantages of strong gelation characteristics were prepared for supporting the removal of phosphate in synthetic wastewater using CaO and Ca(OH)2 as precipitants. The effects of weight ratios of each component in flocculants, dosage of flocculants and initial phosphate concentration were investigated through batch of experiments. The results showed excellent flocculation performance with the weight ratio of alginic acid:NaHCO3 and CaCl2.2H2O at 1:0.3:0.02 and the dosage of flocculants at 0.0050 g/25 mL of phosphate solution in the range of initial phosphate concentration from 50 to 1000 ppm. Comparing to the sample without flocculants, the phosphate removal efficiency using CaO and Ca(OH)2 with the addition of flocculants increased from 19 and 20% to 97% at the initial phosphate concentration of 50 ppm, respectively by filtration of filter paper 2.7 μm.
