Description

Eutrophication is a very serious environmental problem in China. Eutrophication is mainly caused by the 

excessive phosphorus and nitrogen contents during pollutant emissions. To solve this problem, the 

phosphorus content control is crucial. However, from another perspective, phosphorus is almost a 

non-renewable resource due to its unique recycling characteristics. In our project, we aim to create a “

bioconveyer” system to remove phosphorus as well as to recycle it. To achieve the recycling, we must 

give the bacteria a switch system to allow it absorb phosphorus in one condition (pollutant pool) and 

release phosphorus in another condition (recycling pool). This device is made by a lightcontrol system. 

What’s more, in this “bioconveyer” system, to give the conveyer a matrix and to improve the removal 

of the other pollutant like nitrogen, we use another device to build an algaebacteria symbiotic biofilm 

system. With the introduction of multi organisms, the efficiency of P recycling can perform better.
