For short of carbon resource used for denitrification and phosphorus removal, poor biological phosphorous removal is achieved in lower concentration municipal wastewater treatment plants. Chemical addition should be taken into account in these occasions in order to meet the discharge requirement. In this study, 5 different chemicals was added to the co-precipitation treatment process in order to optimize chemical species,namely FeCl3·6H2O, FeSO4·7H2O, AlCl3·6H2O, PAC and PSF. The results showed that ferrous-based chemicals had higher phosphorus removal efficiencies than that of aluminium based chemicals, and ferrous sulfate had the highest phosphorous removal efficiency. The optimal ferrous sulfate dosage is 1.2:1 (molar ratio Fe/TP), and at this chemical dosage more than 85% soluble total phosphorus (DTP) removal efficiency is achived. In addition, while ferrous sulfate dosing ratio was lower than 1.6:1(molar ratio Fe/TP), Fe/TP had significantly positive correlation with TP and PO43- in the effluent.
