Title: | Effect of acidogenic stage on aerobic toxic organic removal | Authors: | Ng, W.J. Hu, J.Y. Ong, S.L. Aziz, M.A. |
Issue Date: | 1999 | Citation: | Ng, W.J., Hu, J.Y., Ong, S.L., Aziz, M.A. (1999). Effect of acidogenic stage on aerobic toxic organic removal. Journal of Environmental Engineering 125 (6) : 495-500. ScholarBank@NUS Repository. https://doi.org/10.1061/(ASCE)0733-9372(1999)125:6(495) | Abstract: | A laboratory investigation explored treatment of wastewaters containing nitrobenzene, biphenyl, and polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) by two aerobic reactors, with and without acidogenic pretreatment. A sequencing batch operation was adopted for both acidogenic-aerobic and aerobic systems. Results indicated that nitrobenzene, biphenyl, and PAHs such as naphthalene and anthracene could be effectively removed by the acidogenic-aerobic system with removal efficiencies of more than 98% for nitrobenzene, 97% for biphenyl, and 96% for the PAHs, with a hydraulic retention time of the acidogenic stage at as low as 8 h. The acidogenic-aerobic system was therefore found to be effective in treating wastewaters containing such complex organics. The relatively low hydraulic retention time required for the acidogenic stage makes the process a potentially cost-effective technology. | Source Title: | Journal of Environmental Engineering | URI: | http://scholarbank.nus.edu.sg/handle/10635/65474 | ISSN: | 07339372 | DOI: | 10.1061/(ASCE)0733-9372(1999)125:6(495) |
