Moving Bed Sequencing Batch Reactor: Optimization Of Operational Parameters For Nitrogen And 4-Chlorophenol Removal

Moving bed sequencing batch reactor (MBSBR) which incorporates both suspended-growth and attached-growth biomasses in a single reactor has been widely used in wastewater treatment plants. Nevertheless, information on the treatment of nitrogen containing wastewater via MBSBR is still scarce. Thus,...
