The removal and mechanism of ammonia nitrogen and total nitrogen were studie through three-step series of constructed rapid infiltration system by using high ammonia nitrogen domestic sewage of students' living area in a university. The result shows that the removal rate of ammonia nitrogen is 94.47% by using this system, which is 3% higher than conventional rapid infiltration system.The effluent can meet the standard Ⅰ—A of “Discharge standard of pollutants for municipal wastewater treatment plant(GB 18918-2002)”. The amount of ammonium oxidizing bacteria, nitrate oxidizing bacteria, nitrite oxidizing bacteria in this system is higher than that in conventional rapid infiltration system. The correlation between the removal of ammonia nitrogen and ammonium oxidizing bacteria, nitrate oxidizing bacteria, nitrite oxidizing bacteria is significant. The removal rate of total nitrogen is 47.38% by using this system, which is 20.72% higher than that in conventional rapid infiltration system. However, the effluent still can not meet the standard Ⅰ—A of “Discharge standard of pollutants for municipal wastewater treatment plant (GB 18918-2002)”. The amount of denitrifying bacteria in the three-step subsystem increased significantly, which improves the removal of total nitrogen. The correlation between the removal of TN and denitrification bacteria is significant.

In order to develop a new substrate filler for wetland, Fly ash and soil was mixed and modified in different mass ratio, then, static adsorption and seepage purification experiments were carried out to choose four appropriate modified fillers for wetland model experiment. Experimental results showed that when the mass proportion of fly ash and soil was 3:7, the best treatment effect was achieved. While using this modified wetland for wastewater treatment, the removal rate of total nitrogen (TN), total phosphorus (TP), ammonia nitrogen (NH4-N) and COD was 57.52%, 97.58%, 93.78% and 89.53% respectively. The effluent concentration of TN could meet the priority standard (level B) of Discharge standard of pollutants for municipal wastewater treatment plant (GB18918-2002), while the effluent concentration of TP, NH4-N and COD could meet the priority standard (level A).

This study investigates the removal of microplastics from wastewater in an urban wastewater treatment plant located in Southeast Spain, including an oxidation ditch, rapid sand filtration, and ultraviolet disinfection. A total of 146.73 L of wastewater samples from influent and effluent were processed, following a density separation methodology, visual classification under a stereomicroscope, and FTIR analysis for polymer identification. Microplastics proved to be 72.41% of total microparticles collected, with a global removal rate of 64.26% after the tertiary treatment and within the average retention for European WWTPs. Three different shapes were identified: i.e., microfiber (79.65%), film (11.26%), and fragment (9.09%), without the identification of microbeads despite the proximity to a plastic compounding factory. Fibers were less efficiently removed (56.16%) than particulate microplastics (90.03%), suggesting that tertiary treatments clearly discriminate between forms, and reporting a daily emission of 1.6 × 107 microplastics to the environment. Year variability in microplastic burden was cushioned at the effluent, reporting a stable performance of the sewage plant. Eight different polymer families were identified, LDPE film being the most abundant form, with 10 different colors and sizes mainly between 1–2 mm. Future efforts should be dedicated to source control, plastic waste management, improvement of legislation, and specific microplastic-targeted treatment units, especially for microfiber removal.

Process removal nutrients, especially nitrogen – ammonia in municipal wastewater treatment is a challenger of design and operate wastewater treatment plant. Nowadays in Vietnam, technology SBR has been wide applied in biological wastewater treatment but the concentration of nitrogen – ammonia in treated water cannot achieve the discharge standard. For the purpose to reach the Vietnamese Standard A, the modification of SBR has been added the anoxic phase into operated cycle to create the denitrification’s environment and enhance performance of ammonia – nitrogen removal in municipal wastewater treatment at present and in the near future. The results of experiment shows that, the efficiency of N – NH4 removal in reactors sustainable in range 75 – 80% with the nitrogen loadings rate from 0.07 – 0.25 kg N – NH4/kg sludge/d. However, in 3 hours of anoxic phase, the value of specific denitrification rate is 0.10 – 0.15 kg N – NO3/kg sludge/d with the organic loadings rate in range 0.3 – 1.0 kg BOD/kg sludge/d and can reach the maximum is 0.2 kg N – NO3/kg sludge/d when the organic loadings rate increase to 2.0 kg BOD/kg sludge/d.

Municipal Wastewater Treatment

Many studies suggest that the total nitrogen (TN) in urine is around 9,000 mg/L and about 80% of nitrogen in municipal wastewater comes from urine, because nitrogen mainly occurs in the form of urea in fresh human urine. Based on this fact, the study on the migration and transformation law of nitrogen in urine and its influencing factors was carried out. It can be seen from the experimental results that the transformation rate of urea in urine into ammonia nitrogen after standing for 20 days is only about 18.2%, but the urea in urine can be hydrolyzed into ammonia nitrogen rapidly after it is catalyzed directly with free urease or indirectly with microorganism. Adding respectively a certain amount of urease, activated sludge and septic-tank sludge to urine samples can make the maximum transformation rate achieve 85% after 1 day, 2 days and 6 days, respectively. In combination with some corresponding treatment methods, recycling of nitrogen in urine can be achieved. The results are of great significance in guiding denitrification in municipal wastewater treatment.

Foshan City

The Zhen'an Wastewater Treatment Plant in Foshan City, Guangdong Province, China is a newly built large municipal wastewater treatment plant in south China, situated in the southeast of the famous ancient Foshan City, has a treatment capacity of 100,000 m3/d, serves an area of 32 km2 and 220,000 P. E., occupies 7 ha area with a total investment of 220 million RMB (about 26.5 million U.S dollar), which was put into operation in December 1995. As it is difficult to design and operate the wastewater treatment plant because of the low organic concentration of its influent, the simplified A/O activated sludge process without primary treatment for simultaneous removal of phosphorus and ammonia nitrogen was employed to design the plant, by which, the wastewater is treated very well, with higher effluent quality than the traditional activated sludge process, while the capital and O/M costs are lower than the latter.

The experiment studies the phenomenon of simultaneous nitrification and denitrification (SND) in SBBR filled with polyurethane as micro-organisms immobilized carriers. Polyurethane fills in SBR as micro-organisms immobilized carriers, formation of a Sequencing Batch Biofilm Reactor (SBBR). Under the anaerobic/aerobic conditions, we studied the effects of C/P, C/N and DO on SND. The results showed that when COD was 400mg/L, C/P was 43.2~50.2, C/N was 9.41~11.9 of the influent, the concentration of DO was 3.31~4.01mg/L, the effect of TN removal was good. When C/P was 46.9, C/N was 10.3, the concentration of DO was 3.58mg/L, the removal rate of TN was 83.71%, TN effluent was 6.45mg/L. TN effluent followed byⅠA standard of “Discharge standard of pollutants for municipal wastewater treatment plant”. DO concentrations impact the forms of nitrogen in the effluent. C/P, C/N and DO play an important role on SND in SBBR filled with polyurethane. Controlling these factors effectively can inhance the effect of nitrogen removal.

Salinity Wastewater

In this study, high salinity wastewater was treated by an intermittently aerated membrane bioreactor (IAMBR) and the salinity loadings were set at 35g/L. The activated sludge was inoculated from the municipal wastewater treatment plant. The influent salinity level gradually increased from 0 to 35 g/L with every 5 g/L. With the salt concentration increased to 35 g/L, the performance of IAMBR was significantly affected by higher salinity. The removal efficiencies of the total organic carbon (TOC), ammonia nitrogen (NH4+-N) and total nitrogen (TN) were about 83%, 70% and 51%, respectively. It is indicated that the domestication of activated sludge from municipal wastewater treatment cannot obtain a better performance at high salinity.
