Abstract: | This study was conducted in a continuous three-stage system of anaerobic (R1)-anoxic(R2)-aerobic (R3) reactors with synthetic
wastewater containing phenol (1000 mg/L), chemical oxygen demand (COD) (3000 mg/L), CN− (30 mg/L), SCN−(400 mg/L), and NH
4
+
-N (600 mg/L) as principal pollutants and well-acclimated heterogeneous microbial cultures. The final effluent was partially
returned to R2 with a recycle ratio of 1. Anaerobic stage served to detoxify the feed by removing up to 80% of cyanide. Complete
SCN− removal and denitrification could be achieved in the anoxic stage by utilizing phenol as an internal source of carbon. Nitrification
efficiency of 93% was obtained in the aerobic reactor. The results demonstrated that the three-stage system can give the desired
final treated effluent quality (0 mg/L of phenol, 0.2 mg/L of CN−, 210 mg/L of COD, and 20 mg/L of NH

-N concentration can be lowered by a higher recycle ratio. |
