In order to solve the problems of lack of carbon source for nitrogen and phosphorus removal and sludge disposal in municipal wastewater plants,Volatile Fatty Acids(VFAs)were prepared by sludge hydrolysis and acid-ification in this study as a supplemental carbon source for wastewater treatment system,and the optimal sludge in-itial concentration of sludge hydrolysis device was 10,000 mg/L,and the optimal retention time was 72 h.The sludge hydrolysis supernatant could be further pre-treated by the synergistic pre-treatment with ultrasonic and magnesium hydroxide.After further pretreatment with ultrasound and magnesium hydroxide,the release of SCODCr from the sludge hydrolysis supernatant could be increased by more than 25.98%,and the reduction of ammonia nitrogen and total phosphorus could be more than 29.84%and 83.96%.Finally,the sidestream sludge hydrolysis acidification device is coupled with the AOA-SBR device for simulation and application research,and the operation results show that the sludge hydrolysis supernatant can replace the external carbon source-sodium acetate by 100%,and ensure that the CODCr,ammonia nitrogen,total nitrogen,and total phosphorus of the efflu-ent from the SBR device meets the Class A discharge standard(GB18918-2002),and the sludge production is re-duced by 21.29%.
