Abstract:
Three anaerobic technologies (UASB, UBF, IC) in chlortetracycline wastewater treatment were compared. The structure characteristics of the reactors were studied, and their removal efficiency analyzed from aspects of the concentration of sludge, the process of mass transfer and the investment. The results indicated that when the volume load of IC reactor was 5.5 kg/(m
3·d)(estimated by COD
Cr), its averaged removal rate of COD
Cr was 84.36%; for UBF reactor, when thevolume load was 3.5 kg/(m
3·d), its removal rate of COD
Cr was 75.04%; and for UASB reactor, when the volume load was 3.0 kg/(m
3·d), its removal rate of COD
Cr was 71.43%. It was conclude that compared with the other two anaerobic reactors, IC reactor has obvious advantages in volume load rate, removal rate of COD
Cr and investment, and should be the best available anaerobic technology in chlortetracycline wastewater treatment.
