Abstract
This research investigates the effect of hydraulic retention time (HRT) on micropollutant biodegradation of two-stage activated sludge (AS) system augmented with acclimatized sludge treating low-micropollutants wastewater. The experimental wastewater was a mixture of landfill leachate and agriculture wastewater, and HRT was varied between 24, 18, and 12 h. The results showed that, under 24 h HRT, the micropollutant biodegradation efficiencies were 87-93% for bisphenol A (BPA), 2,6-di-tert-butyl-phenol (2,6-DTBP), di-butyl-phthalate (DBP), di-(ethylhexyl)-phthalate (DEHP); 75-81% for carbamazepine (CBZ), diclofenac (DCF); and 88% for N,N-diethylmeta-toluamide (DEET). The degradation efficiencies were similar under 18 h HRT: 87-93% for BPA, 2,6-DTBP, DBP, DEHP; 75-80% for CBZ, DCF; and 80% for DEET. However, the efficiencies substantially declined under 12 h HRT: 71-93%, 55-60%, and 50%, respectively. Importantly, the findings revealed that HRT plays a crucial part in micropollutant biodegradation of bioaugmented AS system. More specifically, too short an HRT (12 h) results in low micropollutant removal efficiency, and too long an HRT (24 h) contributes to low daily throughput and high treatment operation cost. As a result, moderate HRT (18 h) is operationally and economically optimal for bioaugmented AS system treating low-micropollutants wastewater.
