Abstract excerpt
AIMS: The aim of this study is to evaluate the utility of aerobically grown microbial granules for the biological treatment of phenol-containing wastewater. METHODS AND RESULTS: A column-type sequential aerobic sludge blanket reactor was inoculated with activated sludge and fed with phenol as the sole carbon source, at a rate of 1.5 g phenol l-1 d-1. Aerobically grown microbial granules first appeared on day 9 of...
