The invention relates to a negative-pressure 
internal circulation reactor and a method for treating 
sewage by utilizing the reactor, which solves the problems of poor low-temperature operation effect, complex operation management and high cost when the 
sewage of a 
small town in a cold region is treated in the prior art. The negative-pressure 
internal circulation reactor comprises a tank body, a water feeding 
pipe, a 
water discharge weir, a water discharging 
pipe, a vertical partition plate, a communication hole, a transverse partition plate, an aerating device, pipes, an 
air pump and a mud discharging opening. The method for treating the 
sewage by utilizing the reactor comprises the following steps: 1, the sewage firstly enters a 
hydrolysis acidification reaction device, and discharged water enters an aerating region of a low-temperature 
sewage treatment device through a water discharging 
pipe to form muddy water mixture; and 2, the muddy water mixture enters a 
sediment region so that mud and water are separated, the mud is precipitated in a mud concentration region and is refluxed into the aerating region through a hole of the transverse partition plate under negative pressure generated in an 
aeration process, the residue mud is discharged from the mud discharging opening, and supernatant is discharged from the water discharging pipe so that above process is circulated, and 
continuous operation is carried out. The negative-pressure 
internal circulation reactor and the method for treating the sewage by utilizing the reactor, disclosed by the invention, are applied to the 
sewage treatment field.
