The cell lysis-cryptic growth was implemented by Fenton oxidation in sequencing batch reactor. Optimizing sludge lysis condition could maximize the release of nutrients and sludge disintegration degree. After Fenton oxidation, the extracellular polymeric substance was obviously destroyed with the sludge average particle decreased from 64 μm to 36 μm. After 5% of the settled sludge in sequencing batch reactor (SBR) was oxidized by Fenton and then returned to SBR, the mixed liquor suspended solids (MLSS) decreased by 19.3% at the end of 35 days operation, the average mixed liquor volatile suspended solids/mixed liquor suspended solids (MLVSS/MLSS) was promoted by 13.3% during the entire operation. Returning lysed sludge had no significant influence on the organics and nitrogen removal, but the total phosphorus removal was distinctly enhanced by generating FePO₄ precipitate. Additionally, returning lysed sludge suppressed nitrifying bacteria and promoted denitrifying bacteria slightly. Consequently, the cell lysis-cryptic growth for reducing sludge source discharge from wastewater biological treatment could be achieved on the premise of ensuring effluent quality.
