Removal of 3-chlorobenzoate using granules in the upflow anaerobic sludge blanket method.
The possibility of removing 3-chlorobenzoate from water using granules in the upflow anaerobic sludge blanket (UASB) method without the addition of a dechlorinating culture was studied on a laboratory scale. After three months of operation, the 3-chlorobenzoate concentration in the effluent decreased to less than 1 mg.l(-1).
