[Comparison between porous polymer carrier and activated carbon carrier used for treating organic wastewater in anaerobic fluidized-bed reactor].
A comparative performance between porous polymer carriers (HP) and granular activated carbon carriers (GAC) in anaerobic fluidied-bed reactors was undertaken to evaluate their characters. The results showed that the COD removal and the biogas volume yield rate were 84% and 16.5 m3/(m3.d) respectively when HP was used as carrier to treat synthetic wastewater, at the top COD organic load rate of 65.5 kg/(m3.d), however those were 74.2% and 14.5% respectively for GAC carrier at the top load rate of 63.25 kg/(m3.d). The COD removal and biogas volume yield rate were 64.7%-54.5% and 1.89-2.7 m3/(m3.d) respectively when HP was used as carriers to treat straw pulping wastewater, at the load rate of 14.5-36.15 kg/(m3.d), and those were 61.0%-52.1% and 0.73-2.0 m3/(m3.d) respectively for GAC carriers at the load rate 9.16-19.06 kg/(m3.d). The study revealed that the HP carriers reactor is more efficient than the GAC carriers reactor in microbial immobilization and the wastewater treatment.
