ABSTRACT
This study investigated the remediation effect of a high-rate algal pond (HRAP) and submerged macrophyte pond (SMP) on nutrient and organic matter removal, and explored the effect of SMP on ecological elimination of algae biomass. The results showed that submerged macrophytes could be effective in inhibiting flourishing algae growth. An HRAP-SMP hybrid system exhibited better removal performance than single HRAP and SMP reactor, and 45.6±2.0% TN, 99.0±1.0% TP and 99.0±1.0% DCOD was reduced in the hybrid system. This study demonstrated that the novel integration of HRAP and SMP could be a promising solution for efficient removal of nutrient and organic matter.
