Removal of bisphenol A and diclofenac by a novel fungal membrane bioreactor operated under non-sterile conditions

چکیده
Previous studies have confirmed significant removal of various trace organic contaminants (TrOCs) by whiterot fungal cultures under sterile batch test conditions. However, little is known about TrOC removal in continuous flow fungal reactors in a non-sterile environment. This study reports the removal of two TrOCs, namely, bisphenol A and diclofenac, by a fungal membrane bioreactor (MBR).

Factors governing performance of continuous fungal reactor during non-sterile operation--the case of a membrane bioreactor treating textile wastewater.
White-rot fungi, unlike bacteria in conventional activated sludge system, can degrade wide varieties of textile dyes. Their large scale implementation, however, has been impeded due to lack of appropriate reactor system that can sustain stable performance under non-sterile environment. In this study, contrary to virtually complete decoloration of an azo dye (Acid Orange II, 100 mg L(-1)) in pur...
متن کاملPerformance of Membrane Bioreactor in Removal of Heavy Metals from Industrial Wastewater
Membrane technology is one of the few non-pollutant choices when selecting a treatment process. A membrane with suitable pore size can remove almost all pollutants without using any chemicals. In this research, chromium, zinc and lead were removed from synthetic wastewater by a membrane bioreactor. The results showed that by using a membrane bioreactor, the COD removal efficiency was increased ...
