Abstract

Food wastewater was rich in proteins, carbohydrates, fat, urea, ammonia nitrogen, phosphorus and other nutrients, which made it difficult and high cost to be treated. Aspergillus niger pellets had advantages of high biological activity, high settling rate and easy separation from liquid phase.Chlorella vulgaris had advantages of high growth rate and efficient biomass production.Therefore, the treatment of food wastewater using immobilized C.vulgaris on A.niger pellets was a low-cost, high-efficient, pollution-free and sustainable approach.In this research, this approach was developed through media optimization for A.niger pellets formation, and co-cultivation conditions of A.niger and C.vulgaris.All three media, CCM medium, A medium and modified BG-11 medium, were suitable for pellets formation.A.niger pellet was better than A.niger spore for C.vulgaris harvest according to results.After optimization, 90.25% COD, 43.53% TN, 94.2%TP of soybean wastewater was removed.Therefore, this approach of immobilized algae on fungal pellets was efficient to remove nutrients from food wastewater, and proved a solid base for its further application.
