A sequencing batch reactors (SBR) was adopted to investigate the denitrifying phosphorus removal efficiency employing nitrite as electron acceptor under anaerobic/anoxic condition. The experimental results showed that high nitrogen and phosphorus removal efficiency could be obtained under the following conditions: nitrite concentration of 30~40 mg/L, COD concentration of 400 mg/L, pH 8.0±0.2 in anaerobic stage and pH 7.2±0.2 in anoxic stage, sludge retention time (SRT) of 22 days. When the reactor performed steadily, a dominant functional strain was screened from the activated sludge, which has high nitrite and phosphorus removal efficiency. Batch tests results showed that the removal degree of nitrite and phosphorus could reach 99.18% and 84.94% respectively when their concentrations were 20mg/L and 10mg/L. according to the morphology and physio-biochemical characteristics, and the results of 16S rDNA sequencing, it is determined that the strain belongs to the Genus of Sphingobacterium. The experimental results achieved in this study might offer guidance to the development of shortcut denitrifying phosphorus removal process.
