| Abstract |
This paper was to examined the possibility of anaerobic treatment of bisphenol A (BPS -containing wastewater and anaerobic metabolic pathway of BPA using Upflow Anaerobic Sludge Blanket (UASB) process. The results showed that BPA was easily biodegraded between 5-25㎎/L. At the BPA concentration above 30㎎/L, BPA was not degraded anymore owed to the defect of granules. The longer the UASB granules adapted the better BPA degrading activities observed in the UASB reactor. When became clear the BPA degradation was totally independent of co-substrate such as methanol. Two peaks were detected as anaerobic BPA degradation intermediate metabolites, but these were completely removed as the time proceeds. |
