Use of Algae in Removing Phosphorus from Sewage
Eutrophication of receiving waters by nutrient rich wastes may be controlled by removal of phosphorus. Phosphorus can be removed from sewage by biological and chemical means. Either approach is aimed at converting soluble phosphorus to easily recovered insoluble particulate matter. An attempt was made during the period from 1957 to 1960 to exploit the metabolic activities of algae in removing phosphorus from treated sewage. A tertiary stage treatment process designed to strip phosphorus from solution through use of algal photosynthesis was developed in the laboratory. The process was subsequently studied in both laboratory and field scale pilot plants, and the basic principles of this process are outlined. Research leading to process development is briefly described, and process performance is evaluated and analyzed.
