Abstract
In this paper, anoxic/anaerobic/aerobic processes were developed to remove nitrogen and phosphorus from wastewater more efficiently. Laboratory experi ments were conducted, and the results demonstrated that the innovative comb ined processes have a much higher efficiency in the removal of nitrogen and phosphorus than the commonly used anaerobic/anoxic/aerobic processes. The removal rates of nitrogen and phosphorus can be increased by about 50% on a verage. In addition, the new combination can also simplify the process oper ation of sludge cycles.
