Abstract: To investigate the removal of thiocyanate () in the actual coking wastewater through granular bio-film reactor, two lab-scale granular bio-film reactors (EGSB reactor) (RA and RB) were continuously operated at three stages for about 16 months: anaerobic vs. micro-aerobic for EGSB reactor, varied influent concentrations and varied shock-loading (abrupt and gradual shock-loading) for micro-aerobic EGSB reactor. Compared with anaerobic operation condition, micro-aerobic operation conditions could distinctly strengthen average removal in the EGSB reactor treating actual coking wastewater (47.8% vs.5.3%). At micro-aerobic operation conditions (only with 2000-5000ml·min^-1 air flow rate in the external aeration column), with 12h HRT and varied influent concentrations of 200-540mg·L^-1, the EGSB reactor could always keep very high removal of 87.6%-94.1%. Microaerobic EGSB reactor had very strong ability of supporting load shock. During the whole operation stage of continuous loads shock (for about 60 days)(from 0.32kgSCN·m^-3·d^-1 to 1.08 kgSCN·m^-3·d^-1), removal ability showed a constantly increasing tendency. Micro-aerobic EGSB reactor was a simple and high effectively treatment strategy for the in the actual coking wastewater, and meanwhile high COD, ammonia, phenol and cyanide removal was also kept in the micro-aerobic EGSB reactor.

Abstract: The paper studied the removal rate of COD under the impact of an instantly big flow of wastewater, and restoring capacity of bio-film after the impact in order to provide data to simulate disorderly discharged sewage in tidal rivers. At 2h after rising tide, the concentration of COD in the dosing pool was 187mg/L and the removal rate of COD was 33.2%. The removal rate of COD before the impact was similar to that after the impact, which indicated that bio-film had the adaptive ability. At 2h after ebb tide, the removal rate of COD was 30.7% after the impact in the dosing pool. The removal rate of COD was 32.0% before the impact in the dosing pool. Compared to the removal rate of COD before the impact, the removal rate of COD after the impact slightly decreased and the reason was that multiple enzyme stimulant had the positive effect on restoring capacity of bio-film.
