Three commercially available standard anion resins (ARs) produced quality sulfate-free reclaimed water containing low levels of phosphorus (P) (∼0.10mgL⁻¹), nitrate (∼0.20mgL⁻¹) and dissolved organic matters (DOMs) (∼0.68mgL⁻¹) from the actual secondary effluent of anaerobic/anoxic/aerobic process for municipal wastewater (MW-SE, containing 67mgsulfateL⁻¹, 1.30mg P L⁻¹, 8.50mgnitrateL⁻¹ and 3.30mgDOMsL⁻¹) in the fixed-bed column experiments. The influent DOM levels (1.2–9.4mgL⁻¹) had minor influences on nutrient removal performance. The stable adsorption efficiencies of ≥89, ≥95 and ≥71% and elution efficiencies of ≥99, ≥92 and ≥54% were achieved for phosphate, nitrate and DOMs in 5 successive adsorption–regeneration cycles. The standard ARs should be combined with the anoxic/aerobic biodenitrification process to better recover P resources from MW and achieve the highest nitrogen and P removal. With chloride salt fertilizers (e.g. NH₄Cl or KCl) as regenerants, most of the P and nitrate in MW-SE can be concentrated into spent regenerant that can be easily and fully converted to a new nitrogen phosphorus mixed fertilizer, which will finally solve the disposal problem of spent brines.
