Compared with conventional activated sludge system, applied magnetic field or adding magnetic materials in activated sludge system exhibits a better performance of enzyme activity, sludge settling, microbial activity. It also shows an obvious influence on bacterial activity, dissolved oxygen and pollution loadings. Even more, the removal efficiency of organic pollutions, N and P in this system shows an obvious increase. The biomagnetic effect is a promising technology in wastewater treatment.

For the sake of the shortage of phosphorus resources and the present situation of municipal sludge treatment and disposal, the necessity of recovery of phosphorus from municipal sludge is analyzed, whereas the methods of phosphorus releasing from solid phase to liquid phase in sewage sludge, such as anaerobic digestion, ozone oxidation, heat treatment, ultrasonic dissolution and alkaline hydrolysis, were discussed in this paper. And then the theories and methods of phosphorus recovering from sewage sludge were summarized, including chemical precipitation, adsorption desorption, burning heat treatment and nanofiltration. Finally, the research development and application prospects of phosphorus release recovery technology from sewage sludge were also proposed. Introduction According to statistics, phosphate has been listed as China in 2010 after the national economy, cannot meet the needs of the development of one of the 20 minerals. By the end of 2014, the amount of sludge produced by China years (by 80% water content) of about 30 million tons, annual sludge production (at 80% moisture content) will increase to 246 thousand m.Currently in the process of sewage treatment, phosphorus in the form of residual sludge in the final discharge, the phosphorus content of about 4%~9%.But the sludge treatment and disposal technology in current hardly realize recovery of phosphorus resources. Therefore, it open up a new direction for the municipal wastewater treatment plant sludge treatment and disposal by using the appropriate technology to recover phosphorus from municipal sewage sludge. This paper summarizes the research status of phosphorus recovery and utilization in sludge, and prospects the research, development and application prospect of phosphorus release and recovery technology in sludge. Release of phosphorus in sludge Stable and efficient phosphorus release method is the most important prerequisite for the recovery of residual sludge. At present, the research on phosphorus release is mainly focused on the following aspects. Anaerobic digestion.Sludge anaerobic digestion to sludge in anaerobic conditions, by facultative and anaerobic bacteria will sludge can be biodegradable organic matter decomposition into carbon dioxide, methane, and water, which is one of the common means of sludge reduction, stabilization.Bi Dongsu studied on the anaerobic digestion process of phosphorus rich excess sludge found that the phosphorus content of residual sludge 4th International Conference on Sustainable Energy and Environmental Engineering (ICSEEE 2015) © 2016. The authors Published by Atlantis Press 488 supernatant increased from 0.90mg/L to 102.90mg/L after 18d anaerobic digestion at room temperature. The method of anaerobic digestion is used to release the phosphorus in the sludge, which has the advantages of simple operation, obvious effect of phosphorus release, stable operation and low cost. At the same time, it also has a long reaction time, large reactor volume, and the shortcomings of the initial investment. Ozone oxidation method.Ozone oxidation method is by ozone cytolysis, not easy to destroy biological degradation of the cell membrane, so that the intracellular substances can quickly dissolved in the liquid phase, so not only can realize the reduction of sludge and can promote the release of phosphorus in the bacterial cell. Ozone oxidation method has the advantages of ozone oxidation ability strong, good sludge disintegration effect, plant covers an area of less; the disadvantage is that sludge disintegration depends on ability to ozone input ratio, in the large-scale application of high investment ratio will lead to a high level of energy consumption. Heat treatment method.Heat treatment method is the use of external heat source in the disintegration of sludge floc structure, the sludge in a part of cell material never dissolved into dissolved phosphorus, so that the more rapid release [2] .Kuroda [3] et al. Akio showed that the concentration of 3500mg/L activated sludge, after heating 60min at 70 °C, the total phosphorus release concentration of sludge reached 110mg/L, and the higher the temperature, the higher the rate of phosphorus release. The heat treatment method has the advantages of good phosphorus releasing effect and short reaction time, and the disadvantage is that the energy consumption is large in the heating process. Ultrasonic method.Ultrasonic lysis method is by means of ultrasonic effect in the liquid produced a series of physical and chemical reaction, change the characteristics of the liquid in the dissolved and particulate substances, destruction of cell structure in sludge, the release of the organic matter, nitrogen, phosphorus and other elements from the solid state method. The reaction condition is mild, the reaction time is short, the effect of sludge is good, but the energy consumption is large, and the strength and reaction time still need to be optimized in order to be applied in large scale. Alkali solution.The alkaline treatment of sludge by adding alkali to promote the dissolution of fiber content in the sludge, alkaline conditions can effectively inhibit the activity of activated sludge, intracellular material dissolution of the crack technology. Xiao Benyi and other [4] compared the effects of acid hydrolysis, alkali hydrolysis and pyrolysis of 3 kinds of sludge treatment methods on the nature of the sludge, found that the effect of alkali solution is best, the cracking rate of sludge reached 58.46%. Compared with other methods, the alkaline hydrolysis method has the advantages of simple equipment, easy operation and high efficiency. The PH of the sludge supernatant is alkaline, which provides a basic environment for phosphorus crystallization. But the reaction consumes a large amount of alkali, high investment . Method for recovering phosphorus from sludge At present, the main recovery methods of phosphorus rich supernatant are physical and chemical methods such as chemical precipitation method and other recovery methods. Magnesium ammonium phosphate crystallization method.In the process of residual sludge disintegration, the nitrogen element is usually accompanied with the release of nitrogen, and the nitrogen and phosphorus in the sludge can be recovered by the MAP method. Struvite is rich in nitrogen, phosphorus content, is a direct application of the farmland slow-release fertilizer; Wang et al. [6] found that map crystallization of the optimal pH was 9.0. Moerman [7] found that calcium ion interference effect in the process of formation of struvite. Generally considered to maintain Mg:PO4 =1.3:1.0 is more appropriate. According to the above conditions, the recovery of phosphorus in the residual sludge hydrolysis acidification solution can be recovered by MAP crystallization method, and the recovery rate can reach more than 80% [8]. Struvite crystallization into medicament price is high, due to the limitation of the purity, recovery of struvite economic

Endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) showed variety and widely distributed in the environment. The presence of EDCs was the most typical in water bodies. EDCs in water accumulated in human and other organism to a certain extent would harmfully interfere the normal functioning of the nervous system, immune system and endocrine system. This paper reviewed the existing form of EDCs, the harmfulness of EDCs, the detection methods and treating methods for EDCs in water environment. In view of the current situation of EDCs pollution in the water body, the specific measures for the future treatment of EDCs were established.

Water resources in Chinese rural areas were becoming precious because of the polluted water environment. In this paper, the status of rural areas in China has been reviewed. The typical pollutants in rural raw water bodies were different from urban raw water bodies. In rural water environment, organic matters and ammonia nitrogen concentration were high, heavy metal and other toxic pollutants were low. Enhanced coagulation, enhanced filtration, adsorption, biological oxidation and membranes were the main treating methods. The biological oxidation and membranes technology combination was prospected in future rural slightly polluted raw water treatment.

In order to reveal the influence of reaction conditions on the phosphorus crystallization to recover phosphorus from wastewater with low P concentration, an alternate A/O biofiltration system for simulated domestic wastewater treatment was carried out and the effluent from anaerobic filter was considered as the reaction liquid for P crystallizatio n, as well as the influences of phosphorus by beginning phosphorus concentration, pH, Mg/P molar ratio and reaction time on the MAP crystallization and P removal were test systemlly. The results showed that the pH is the main influence factor on the crystallization time, and the higher pH value, the shorter crystallization time. Under the condition of the low P concentration, the key factor of the crystallization phosphorus removal rate is the Mg/P. Improve the Mg/P molar ratio mghit increase the phosphorus removal rate greatly.In addation, when the Mg/P molar ratio is 1:1 and the reaction time is 10 minutes, the lowest crystallization concentration is 18mg/L.

In this paper, a review on the mechanism of denitrifying phosphorus removal and the enrichment of denitrifying phosphorus-accumulating organisms in the process of nitrogen and phosphorus removal, such as A 2 /O and SBR, were presented, as well as the influence factors of enrichment were also carried out. And finally, the outlook of denitrifying phosphorus removal process for future research was suggested. Conventional biological treatment process can effectively reduce BOD5 and SS of inflow, but the removal efficiencies of nitrogen and phosphorus in wastewater are not effective, which cause that a large amount of sewage containing nitrogen and phosphorus directly discharge into water body. Therefore, the nitrogen and phosphorus pollution is the primary cause for water entrophication. Although the government put forward more and more strictly requirements for sewage discharge, it is difficult to remove nitrogen and phosphorus efficiently for the conventional nitrogen and phosphorus removal process, because of various reasons, such as carbon-nitrogen ratio in the city sewage. So it is necessary to develop more stable, economical and efficient process for nitrogen and phosphorus removal. Denitrifying phosphorus removal process is to complete domestication and enrichment of denitrifying phosphate-accumulating organisms (DNPAOs) by using anaerobic/anoxic alternate environment instead of the traditional anaerobic/aerobic environment. DNPAOs can use NO3 - as electron acceptor in denitrifying phosphorus removal system, meanwhile through their metabolism complete excess phosphorus uptake and denitrification process at the same time to achieve the dual purpose of nitrogen and phosphorus removal. Application of denitrifying phosphorus removal process for treatment of municipal wastewater can not only save aeration quantity, but also reduce the amount of residual sludge. And it also can cut down investment and operation costs. In recent years, many scholars did a number of researches on denitrifying phosphorus removal technology. Due to the varying techniques, enrichment mode and denitrifying phosphorus removal degree, the conclusion was not entirely consistent.

This paper reviews the status and progress of biological denitrification and phosphorus removal. The mechanism of denitrificati on and phosphorus removal is analyzed briefly, and the characteristic of some denitrification and phosphorus removal process is also compared. The new process and new technology which is not high popularity are introduced. Finally, the outlook of the future research is put forward in the paper.
