Characteristics of aerobic granules grown on glucose and acetate in sequential aerobic sludge blanket reactors

摘要: Aerobic granules were cultivated in two column-type sequential aerobic sludge blanket reactors fed with glucose and acetate, respectively. The characteristics of investigated. Results indicated that the glucose- acetate-fed have comparable terms settling velocity, size, shape, biomass density, hydrophobicity, physical strength, microbial activity storage stability. Substrate component does not seem to be a key factor on formation granules. However, diversity is closely associated carbon sources supplied reactors. Compared conventional activated flocs, exhibit excellent would essential for industrial application. This research provides complete set data grown which useful further development granules-based compact bioreactor handling high strength organic wastewater.
