This paper provides a comprehensive review of studies on simultaneous nitrogen and phosphorus removal. The most promising process is found to be simultaneous nitrification, denitrification, and phosphorus removal (SNDPR). Factors influencing SNDPR are analyzed and future research directions are suggested, including balancing microbial competition, achieving continuous flow operation, and maximizing phosphorus recovery.
Nitrogen and phosphorus contamination in wastewater is a serious environmental concern and poses a global threat to sustainable development. In this paper, a comprehensive review of the studies on simultaneous nitrogen and phospho-rus removal (SNPR) during 1986-2022 (538 publications) was conducted using bibliometrics, which showed that simultaneous nitrification, denitrification, and phosphorus removal (SNDPR) is the most promising process. To better understand SNDPR, the dissolved oxygen, carbon to nitrogen ratio, carbon source type, sludge retention time, Cu2+ and Fe3+ , pH, salinity, electron acceptor type of denitrifying phosphorus-accumulating organisms (DPAOs), tempera-ture, and other influencing factors were analyzed. Currently, SNDPR has been successfully implemented in activated sludge systems, aerobic granular sludge systems, biofilm systems, and constructed wetlands; sequential batch mode of operation is a common means to achieve this process. SNDPR exhibits a significant potential for phosphorus recov-ery. Future research needs to focus on: (1) balancing the competitiveness between denitrifying glycogen-accumulating organisms (DGAOs) and DPAOs, and countermeasures to deal with the effects of adverse conditions on SNDPR perfor-mance; (2) achieving SNDPR in continuous flow operation; and (3) maximizing the recovery of P during SNDPR to achieve resource sustainability. Overall, this study provides systematic and valuable information for deeper insights into SNDPR, which can help in further research.
