Abstract

This study investigated the effects of CO2, light intensity, and phosphorus concentration on rate of NH4-N removal by Chlorella vulgaris and determined kinetic coefficients, such as biokinetic coefficients (k) and reaction rate constant (Km), using Michaelis–Menten rate expression under optimal conditions. By using Box–Behnken design under conditions of light intensity at 7446 lx, 2% CO2 content, and phosphorus concentration at 40 mg/L, the model predicted 38.56% maximum NH4-N removal rate. Maximum NH4-N removal rate of 18.7% at light intensity of 11216 lx and CO2 content of 4.4% was further tested by using central composite rotatable design. Batch experimental results confirmed kinetic equations of removal rate by C. vulgarisat optimal conditions and determined kinetic coefficients of k = 11.49 d−1, and Km =64.49mg/L.
