Treatment of atrazine bearing wastewater by mixed methanogenic culture
conference contribution
posted on 2018-02-12, 15:07 authored by P.K. Ghosh, Ligy Philip, M. BandyopadhyayPerformance of an anaerobic reactor in treating
atrazine bearing wastewater using a mixed anaerobic
microbial culture having high acetoclastic methanogen
population was evaluated in batch and semi-continuous
mode of operation. At an initial atrazine concentration
of 5.0 mg/I, atrazine reduction of 30.2% after 5 days
and 64% after 50 days were observed in semi continuous
and batch mode of operation respectively. Carbonaceous
material removal measured as chemical oxygen demand
(COD) was more than 90% in both the cases. Initial
COD ws 305±7 mg/1. Experimental results showed that
atrazine degradation was better in presence of dextrose
than that of sodium acetate. Percentage of methane in
biogas was more in acetate fed reactor than dextrose
fed reactor.
