Abstract
- The practicality of developing highly-dechlorinating anaerobic methanogenic granules and their performance in treating wastewaters with high pentachlorophenol (PCP) concntrations were evaluated. A mixture of acetate, propionate, butyrate and methanol were used as the carbon source for the development of the granules in a laboratory-scale anaerobic upflow sludge blanket reactor. Higher PCP sensitivity was demonstrated by syntrophic propionate degraders and acetate-utilizing methanogens compared to syntrophc butyrate degraders.
