Abstract:
      In order to optimize the purification capacity of the primary precipitation unit of aquaculture wastewater treatment systems, the efficiency of seven purification materials based on three water quality indices, their optimal values, and their distribution was assessed. The three water quality indices included total nitrogen (TN), total phosphorus (TP), and the permanganate index (CODMn). The seven purification materials included phosphorus and nitrogen removal-type Al-impregnated thermally treated calcium-rich attapulgites (Al@TCAP-P and Al@TCAP-N, respectively), ceramsite sand, bacterial house, volcanic stone, ammonia absorption stone, and activated carbon. The results showed that Al@TCAP-N and volcanic stone exhibited overall suitable removal rates TN, TP, and CODMn. Under normal precipitation, the efficiency of Al@TCAP-N to remove TN was 36%, with tiling as the best treatment type. The efficiencies of volcanic stone to remove TP and reduce CODMn were 34% and 15%, respectively, with accumulation as the best treatment type. The additive amounts of Al@TCAP-N and volcanic stone were 5.24 g·L-1 and 5.02 g·L-1, respectively, when they were used in the primary precipitation unit to improve purification efficiency.
