- Abstract
The effect of hydraulic retention time (HRT) and influent alkalinity on the performance of bio-electrochemical system assisted anaerobic baffled reactor (BES-ABR) was investigated in this study. The results indicated that as the HRT and influent alkalinity increase, COD removal efficiencies were enhanced correspondingly. The maximum COD removal efficiency of 97.4% was obtained at HRT of 48 h and COD of 4,000 mg/L. The maximum COD removal efficiency of 87.5% was obtained at influent alkalinity of 1,300 mg CaCO3/L and COD of 5,000 mg/L. Analysis of microbial community suggested that electrogenic micro-organisms were responsible for the better performance and stability of the system. The establishment and performance of this novel and efficient partial two-phase separation of BES-ABR strongly depended on the regulation of HRT and influent alkalinity.
