Biological Phosphate Removal from Wastewaters: Proceedings of an IAWPRC Specialized Conference held in Rome, Italy, 28-30 September, 1987 (Advances in Water Pollution Control)

Environmental problems caused by the build-up of phosphates in waters, and by the disposal of large volumes of sludges from physical-chemical processes, have increased the interest in phosphorus removal from wastewaters utilizing advanced biological processes that use little or no chemical additives. Topics discussed range from the fundamental microbiology and biochemistry of the enhanced biological removal of phosphate, to practical full-scale plant experiences with phosphorus removal and sludge handling from such processes Content: Advances in Water Pollution Control , Page ii Front Matter , Page iii Copyright , Page iv FOREWORD , Page ix , David Jenkins Related Pergamon Titles of Interest , Page xi THE UTILIZATION OF POLYPHOSPHATE AS AN ENERGY RESERVE IN ACINETOBACTER SP.

Contributors review advances that have been made in the removal of biological phosphates from wastewaters, both at the fundamental scientific level and in the practical application of the process. Topics range from the fundamental microbiology and biochemistry of the enhanced biological removal of phosphate to the practical full-scale plant experiences with phosphorus removal and sludge handling from such processes. This text is comprised of 43 chapters; the first of which describes the utilization of polyphosphate as an energy reserve in Acinetobacter sp. and activated sludge. Attention then turns to metabolic control in polyphosphate-accumulating bacteria and its role in enhancing biological phosphate removal. The biochemistry and energetics of biological phosphorus removal are also considered. The next section is devoted to process modeling and includes chapters that explore the kinetics of biological excess phosphorus removal; factors affecting anaerobic stabilization during biological phosphorus removal; and the behavior of magnesium in biological phosphate removal. In the next section, bench/pilot-scale studies are presented; one of which investigated the reduction of returned phosphorus from a sludge treatment process. The book concludes with a discussion on phosphate removal mechanisms and pilot- and full-scale experiences. This book will be of interest to students, practitioners, and policymakers in water pollution control.
