Assessing the treatment of acetaminophen-contaminated brewery wastewater by an anaerobic packed-bed reactor

The treatment of high-strength organic brewery wastewater with added acetaminophen (AAP) by an anaerobic digester was investigated. An anaerobic packed-bed reactor (APBR) was operated as a continuous process with an organic loading rate of 1.5-g COD per litre per day and a hydraulic retention time o...
