A process for enriching phosphorus and recovering vivianite by a biofilm method includes the following steps: 1) an aerobic phosphorus absorption stage; 2) an anaerobic phosphorus release stage; 3) a cyclic enrichment stage; 4) a seed crystal forming stage; and 5) a crystal forming stage. Phosphorus is enriched by the biofilm method and recovered with vivianite as a recovery product, which solves the problem of phosphorus removal from municipal sewage and improves the economic value; by preparing high dissolved oxygen at the aerobic stage, a high-concentration phosphorus recovery solution can be obtained with a relatively low carbon-phosphorus ratio and relatively high enrichment times, and the consumption of carbon sources can be reduced; since the oxidation-reduction potential is controlled to be less than −100 mv by the biofilm method at the anaerobic phosphorus release stage, the oxidation-reduction potential does not need to be adjusted again during the recovery of vivianite.
