Abstract

Abstract Conventional phosphorus removal technologies are plagued by inherent challenges, including high energy consumption and secondary pollution. This study presents an innovative in situ inorganic–organic hybrid electrocoagulation dephosphorization (IOED) technology, which integrates aluminum electrocoagulation with microbial aggregation. At an applied voltage of 2.5 V, the IOED generates aluminum-sludge aggregates that reduce PO43– from 5 mg L–1 to
