The Effect of Fe3+ on Microbial Growth and Physical and Chemical Properties of Activated Sludge

Article Preview

Abstract:

The method of activated sludge has been widely used in the process of sewage treatment for its high-efficiency and low-consumption. The effect of Fe3+ on microbial growth and physical and chemical properties of activated sludge were studied to obtain relevant parameters for the running of activated sludge system in this paper. Firstly, study on the effect of Fe3+ on microbial growth was carried out. The experiment results showed that the lag phase of microbial growth was obviously reduced with the presence of Fe3+, obtaining advancing into the logarithmic phase. Whats more, the value of OD600 reached to the maximum of 0.615 at 12h when the concentration of Fe3+ was 30mg/L. Secondly, the effects of Fe3+ on the wastewater treatment and that of the performance index include SVI and MLSS were studied. The results indicated that SVI decreased with increasing the dosages of Fe3+,while MLSS and removal rate of COD obviously increased which reach to the maximum of 88.21% when the concentration of Fe3+ was 30mg/L.
