[Advances: granulation mechanism, characteristics and application of aerobic sludge granules].
Aerobic sludge granules with compact structure, wide diverse microbial species and excellent settling capabilities have drawn interest of researchers engaging in work in the area of biological wastewater treatment. This review provides recent advances on aerobic biogranulation technology and application. Granulation mechanism, characteristics and its microbial phase, influence of different environmental factors, granulation model and its application in treating the municipal and toxic industrial wastewater were discussed. Then a prospect concerned for future research is also put forward.
