Abstract:

Introduction: Detergents lead to many environmental problems. The main aim of this study was to evaluate sequencing batch reactor (SBR) efficiency on Linear alkyl benzene sulfonate (LAS) removal. Materials and Methods: In this experimental study, to investigate the removal efficiency of LAS, a SBR reactor was used. A roughly 12-hour operating cycle was chosen which included the discharge time (30 min), the filling time (60 min), and sedimentation (1 hr), while the remaining time was devoted to aerating. In this research 48 samples were taken and analyzed. Sampling and testing were performed according to the standard methods of water and wastewater examination. Results: The results showed that minimum and maximum removal efficiencies of LAS in SBR reactor were 92 % and 99.5 %, respectively. The average removal of COD was 92 %. It was observed that 1 mg/l used surfactants produced 2.3 ± 0.3 mg COD. Conclusion: It can be concluded that SBR reactor is capable of removing LAS to meet desirable environmental standards.

Biodegradation of tannery wastewater using sequencing batch reactor--respirometric assessment.

This investigation proved that respirometry combined with sequencing batch reactor (SBR) could be an effective way for the removal of COD in tannery wastewater. Measurement of oxygen uptake rates (OUR) and corresponding COD uptake rates showed that a 12-h operating cycle was optimum for tannery wastewater. The removal of COD by degradation was stoichiometric with oxygen usage. A plot of OUR val...

Biodegradation of high concentrations of phenol by baker’s yeast in anaerobic sequencing batch reactor

Background: Phenol, as a pure substance, is used in many fields because of its disinfectant, germicidal, local anesthetic, and peptizing properties. Aqueous solutions of phenol are produced as waste in industries and discharged into the environment. Therefore, elevated concentrations of phenol may be found in air or water because of industrial discharge or the use of phenolic products. Method: ...

Evaluation of sequencing batch reactor performance for petrochemical wastewater treatment

Sequencing batch reactor (SBR) technology has found many applications in industrial wastewater treatment in recent years. The aim of this study was to determine the optimal time for a cycle of the sequencing batch reactor (SBR) and evaluate the performance of a SBR for petrochemical wastewater treatment in that cycle time. The reactor was operated with a suspended biomass configuration under ae...

Treatment of Slaughter House Wastewater in a Sequencing Batch Reactor: Performance Evaluation and Biodegradation Kinetics

Slaughterhouse wastewater contains diluted blood, protein, fat, and suspended solids, as a result the organic and nutrient concentration in this wastewater is vary high and the residues are partially solubilized, leading to a highly contaminating effect in riverbeds and other water bodies if the same is let off untreated. The performance of a laboratory-scale Sequencing Batch Reactor (SBR) has ...
