Activities of Activated Sludge Affected by Pharmaceutical Wastewater in a Membrane Bioreactor

Article Preview

Abstract:

a submerged membrane bioreactor was used to treat the effluent of a pharmaceutical wastewater treatment system, the treated water is rich in ammonia nitrogen and organic compounds (NH4-N, averaged in 78.1 mg/L; COD, averaged in 189.5 mg/L), the final effluent of membrane bioreactor was stably below 50 mg/L COD and 40 mg/L NH4-N respectively, the activity of nitrifying bacteria was inhibited by high concentrations of organic compounds and ammonia nitrogen, a rapid declination of filtration was probably resulted form high concentrations of organic compounds and biomass.
