“…Other studies investigated the use of the SBR method in treating different types of industrial wastewaters; however, their results indicated lower removal efficiency of COD compared to the present study (4,20,23,24). Therefore, the SBR system performs better in treating municipal wastewaters that contain organic matters with higher biodegradability compared to industrial wastewaters.…”

“…The SBR system can be used in biological treatment of different types of industrial and municipal wastewaters (17). Different studies have been conducted on treatment of biological wastewater of olive oil industry (18), wastewaters containing antibiotics (19), removal of cyanide from wastewater of electroplating industry (20), textile industry wastewater (21), wastewaters containing phenol (22), coal industry wastewaters (23), wastewaters with high concentrations of nitrogen (12), and domestic wastewaters and waste leachate (24).…”

Background: Linear alkyl benzene sulfonates (LAS) are the most important ionic detergents that produce negative ions in the environment. These compounds enter surface waters through domestic and industrial wastewaters and cause environmental hazards. Objectives: The present study was aimed at assessing the performance of advanced sequencing batch reactor (SBR) in wastewater treatment plant of Yazd, Iran, to remove organic materials and detergents. Materials and Methods:The present research was a descriptive longitudinal study conducted on 96 input and output samples of SBR system over eight months from October 2012 to June 2013. The studied parameters were biochemical oxygen demand 5 (BOD 5 ), chemical oxygen demand (COD), and detergents (LAS), which were assessed through standard methods. Finally, the study data were analyzed through analysis of variance (ANOVA) using software package for statistical analysis (SPSS). Results: The mean inputs of BOD 5 , COD, and LAS to the SBR system were 292.40 ± 45.28, 597.15 ± 97.30, and 3.29 ± 0.92 mg/L, and the mean outputs were 20.59 ± 3.54, 59.34 ± 9.47, and 0.606 ± 0.09 mg/L, respectively. The removal efficiency of BOD 5 , COD and LAS were respectively 92.95%, 90.06% and 81.6%. The results of ANOVA indicated that there was a significant relationship between the mean inputs and outputs of BOD 5 , COD, and the detergents (P ≤ 0.001). Conclusions:With the proper operation of wastewater the treatment plant and increasing the retention time, the removal efficiency of the detergents increased. In addition, according to the environmental standards for BOD 5 , COD and the detergents, the results of the present study indicated that the outputs of these parameters from the SBR system were appropriate for agricultural irrigation.

“…Kim et al (2008) used an anaerobic/aerobic reactor for treating coke wastewater, 100% phenol, 100% free cyanide, and 100% thiocyanate [SCN] -; approximately 85% of the chemical oxygen demand (COD) were removed at HRT longer than 11.9 h. Wang et al (2012) employed an anaerobic/anoxic/aerobic (A 2 /O)-membrane bioreactor with an HRT of 48 h for treating coal gasification wastewater and obtained 97.4% COD removal efficiency. Maranon et al (2008) reported that 85% COD, 98% [SCN] -, and 99% phenols were removed when the HRT of 66 h was adopted for treating coke wastewater with a sequencing batch reactor. Hence, to achieve the best possible removal performance of organic compounds, optimal HRT and biomass concentration should be considered.…”

-A laboratory-scale anaerobic/anoxic/oxic system operated at the hydraulic retention times (HRT) of 20, 40, and 60 h with mixed liquor suspended solids (MLSS) concentrations of 3 g/L and 6 g/L was considered for treating chemical industrial wastewater rich in complex organic compounds and total dissolved solids. Extending the HRT and increasing the MLSS concentration resulted in higher removal efficiency for chemical oxygen demand at 72%. Organic compounds in wastewater could be classified into easily-removed and refractory compounds during treatment. The easily-removed compounds consisted primarily of ethers, alcohols, and aldehydes, whereas the refractory compounds included mainly oxygen-containing heterocyclic and benzene-containing compounds. Results from energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy showed that several metal ions accumulated in activated sludge, particularly Fe(III). Fe accumulated mainly on the surface of sludge floc pellets and resulted in the compactness of activated sludge, which caused the values of mixed liquor volatile suspended solids /MLSS and sludge volume index to decrease.

“…The physical, chemical or biological degradation of the most of toxic compounds usually present in industrial wastewaters is well documented (Collado et al 2009(Collado et al , 2010Kim et al 2008;Li et al 2011;Marañón et al 2008). Particular importance has been devoted to the biological removal of phenolic and cyanide compounds by activated sludge systems, either together or separately (Banerjee 1996;Huang et al 2013;Juang and Tsai 2006;Kwon et al 2002;Sharma et al 2012).…”

“…This has caused the development of several researching works investigating the biodegradation of these kinds of compounds. In some of these works, a real wastewater and a bioaugmented or native mixed culture are used (Kim et al 2008;Li et al 2011;Marañón et al 2008;Staib and Lant 2007), focusing on the global yields and rates obtained during the treatment or on possible changes in reactor configuration or operational conditions. Due to the high variability in the activated sludge biocenosis and even in the wastewater composition, the extrapolation of conclusions is very complicated and the interactions between bacteria and pollutants are complex and frequently not studied.…”

Phenolic and cyanide compounds, which frequently appear mixed in several industrial effluents, are difficult to be biodegraded under certain conditions. In this work, salicylic acid (SA) and thiocyanate (SCN -) were selected as model pollutants of these two families and experiments of biodegradation with specific microorganisms were developed. It was found that the best wellknown bacteria able to biodegrade each one of these pollutants, Pseudomonas putida for SA and Paracoccus thiocyanatus for SCN -, do not biodegrade the other one. Therefore, the co-culture was required, producing interesting interaction phenomena. When both pollutants were simultaneously biodegraded, a commensalism effect was observed improving SCN -removal. Experimental data for SCN -and SA removals were successfully fitted to zero reaction kinetic orders, with induction time in the case of SCN -, and substrate dependences were fitted to Tessier models. A flow cytometry method was developed and employed to obtain the evolution of the viable, damaged and dead cells for different substrate concentration and the degree of agglomeration in the co-culture experiments.
