Abstract
To study the effects of sulfur/sponge iron ratio on denitrification and phosphorus removal, a series of static experiments were conducted using different ratios of sulfur and sponge iron. The results showed that the denitrification and phosphorus removal effect of sulfur/sponge iron composite fillers was significantly higher than that of single filler, and sulfur/sponge iron ratio was one of the key factors influencing nitrogen and phosphorus removal by composite fillers. When the volume ratio was equal to or greater than 1:1, the removal efficiency of TN and TP reached 85% and 97%, respectively. The denitrification and phosphorus removal process of the composite fillers both fitted second-order kinetic equation, the denitrification was dependent on heterotrophic denitrification and sulfur autotrophic denitrification; the phosphorus removal was mainly chemical phosphorus removal caused by sponge iron corrosion.
