Swine Wastewater Treatment by Combining in Series Microalgae Chlorella Vulgaris and Macrophyte Lemna Minor
In order to treat farm wastewater economically and efficiently and to implement a sustainable development strategy,a way to clean swine wastewater harmlessly needs to be found.In this study,an integrated system combining Chlorella Vulgaris and Lemna minor was used to evaluate the efficiency of swine wastewater treatment.The results were as follows:the maximum removal of nitrogen and phosphorus by the Chlorella Vulgaris and Lemna minor system were 93.42%and 83.51%,respectively.When the experiment was carried out until day 12,after which the nitrogen and phosphorus levels increased due to the lysis of the algal cells.On days 2~8,the maximum photon yield(Fv/Fm)and relative electron transfer efficiency(ETR)of Chlorella Vulgaris gradually increased,and on days 4~8,the experimental group was significantly lower than the control group(P<0.05),and the high concentration of nutrient salts affected the photosynthesis of Chlorella Vulgaris.On days 2~8,the enzyme activity of the antioxidant system of Chlorella Vulgaris was significantly lower in the experimental group than in the control group(P<0.05).As the concentration of nitrogen and phospho-rus decreased and the intensity of stress diminished,the enzyme activity gradually returned to normal levels,and there was great potential for Chlorella Vulgaris to be treated with swine wastewater by co-culture with puffballs.Using combined system of microalgae and Lemna minor to treat swine wastewa-ter,a promising new idea for pollutant removal is provided,which can also effectively absorb carbon di-oxide and has promising applications.
