The present investigation deals to achieve an accurate determination of the phosphorous present in the wastewater samples using the membrane reactor. The study may enable to quantify the dissolved (DP) and adsorbed phosphorous (AP), also the adsorbed phosphorous categorically identified as inorganic coupled phosphorous (DRP) and organic coupled phosphorous (NRP). Moreover, the study has been conducted separately in anaerobic and aerobic chamber. The results obtained showed that dissolved phosphorous only can occur in anaerobic chamber with ca. 25%. The study conducted for adsorbed phosphorous showed that the DRP has the percent composition in anaerobic and aerobic chamber respectively 33% and 40% i.e., 7% more in aerobic chamber. The similar values obtained for NRP was found to be 42% and 60% i.e., 18% more in aerobic chamber. On the other hand while comparing the results for NRP and DRP, it has to be noted that NRP has 9% and 20% more percent composition than DRP respectively in anaerobic and aerobic chamber. Further, the adsorbed phase showed the species Al-P, Fe-P in the aerobic chamber with the quotient of 7.73 mg/g TS (total solid) whereas in the anaerobic chamber it showed the species Fe-P and $Fe(OH)_3$-P with the 7.16 mg/g TS.
