This research investigates the effect of pH and sludge retention time (SRT) on denitrifying phosphorus removal. A series of experiments were conducted using two 20L sequencing batch units with the following configuration: anaerobic/anoxic and aerobic sequencing batch reactors (SBRs). It was found that variation in pH form 6.5 to 8 resulted in obvious increase in phosphorus release and uptake, organic matter degradation [measured by the chemical oxygen demand (COD) and the percentage volatile suspended solid (VSS)] and polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) accumulation also showed a rising trend in the anaerobic period, but sludge acclimatized under pH 8.5 condition exhibited a slightly lower denitrifying phosphorus removal capability. In addition, the rates of phosphorus release and uptake were 20.95 and 23.29 mg/g VSS / h in condition of pH 8 value. Activated sludge with the SRT of 16 days possessed better nitrite nitrogen utilization, organic matter degradation and phosphorus removal than sludge with the SRT of 6, 10 and 22 days, and polyphosphate concentration in anaerobic activated sludge per VSS decreased to 23.1 mg/g VSS, PHB concentration in anoxic activated sludge per VSS reduced to16.3 mg/g VSS, thus, a dramatic denitrifying dephosphatation has occurred.
