Abstract: The purification effect of swine wastewater treated by Scendesmus dimorphus and Chlorella pyrenoidosa with attached culture was investigated in this study. It was shown that the 2 strains could grow well in swine wastewater and the biomass of Scendesmus dimorphus and Chlorella pyrenoidosa reached 6.26 and 6.08 g·m-2·d-1, respectively. Meanwhile, the lipid content in the 2 strains was 34.6% and 31.4%, respectively, which was comparable with those cultivated in BG11 medium. Notably, attached culture of Scendesmus dimorphus and Chlorella pyrenoidosa could treat swine wastewater efficiently. The removal efficiency of ammonia nitrogen (NH3-N), total phosphorus (TP) and COD was 96.59%, 74.52% and 72.47%, respectively, by Scendesmus dimorphus and 94.90%, 73.55% and 71.40%, respectively, by Chlorella pyrenoidosa. Based on the results, a process combining algae-based wastewater treatment with attached cultivation and biodiesel production was proposed to treat swine wastewater.
