Abstract:
The research aimed to study on the ability of bio-sludge (dead cell and living cell) on the adsorption oftextile color substances. And also the study was concerned on the effects of hydraulic retention time ofsequencing batch reactor system (SBR) on the removal efficiency. Two kind of wastewater were used inthe study as wastewater from the textile factory and synthetic textile wastewater which had COD, BOD5TKN as 1040, 400 and 61 mg/l and 2000, 1356 and 30.8 mg/l, respectively. The bio-sludge which usedin this experiments was collected from central wastewater treatment plant1, central wastewatertreatment plant2 and textile factory.The results showed that bio-sludge from central wastewater treatment plant1 showed higher coloradsorption capacity than the others. For the HRT effects, the removal efficiency of system wasincreased with the increasing of HRT. In the case of wastewater from textile factory at the lowest HRT3 days, the color, COD, BOD5 and TKN removal efficiency were 22.25, 73.26, 70.12 and 84.5% whileat the highest HRT of 12 days they were 29.51, 83.84, 80.12 and 95.72%, respectively. In the case ofsynthetic wastewater, at the lowest HRT of 3 days, the color, COD, BOD5 and TKN removal efficiencywere 79.94, 96.76, 96.20 and 90.97% while at the highest HRT of 12 days they were 92.86 98.21, 98.30and 98.18%, respectively. When F/M ratio was determination, F/M ratio was decreased with theincreased of HRT. The F/M ratio of textile and synthetic wastewater at lowest HRT of 3 days are 0.2220.066 and highest HRT of 12 days are 0.055 and 0.016, respectively. The excess sludge of highest F/Mratio was higher than lower F/M ratio result to give high color removal efficiency.
