The feasibility and microbial community dynamics of using down flow hanging sponges (DHS) reactor in treating high strength soft drink wastewater
The feasibility of using a standalone down-flow hanging sponge (DHS) reactor to treat high organic strength soft drink wastewater was investigated by operation over 700 days. At the same time, the microbial compositions were characterized and related to reactor performance. Synthetic wastewater at …
