30、 the little micro porosity developed in comparison with the commercial product. pacsb is mainly mesoporous in nature, with an average pore diameter of 2.27 nm (table 1). scanning electron micrographs showed a higher presence of macropore in pacsb than in paccom.the adsorption capacity of sludge-base

38、 phenol concentrations at a steady state for the different feed concentrations tested are summarized in table 3.at first, the three reactors were run at low initial phenol concentration (10 mg l1) and initial cod of 575 mg l1, which corresponds to the period from 021days in figure 1. no differences

42、on. inlet cod was 840 mg l1 and phenol concentration was set at 50 mg l1 during the period 2163 days shown in figure 1. the initial effects of the step increase in glucose and phenol concentration were more important in the activated sludge unit than in the two units operating with pac, as reflected

43、 by the higher values of incremental percent removal for cod and phenol during the transient period. after about 3 days of operation under these feed conditions, the phenol removal of the activated sludge reactor had recovered from the effects of the shock load and the performance of the three units

44、 was almost equivalent. however, the presence of pac, either sludge-based or commercial activated carbon, enhanced cod removal by about 3.5% of the level without carbon. this enhancement may be attributed to the flocculating effect of pac (meidl 1997).after the second step in feed concentration, thi

46、e capabilities between the as and as-pac reactors were also manifested. effluent cod concentration with only biological degradation taking place was 322.5 mg l1, while in the presence of activated carbon it was reduced to about 180 mg l1. in addition, phenol in the as-pac effluent units was around 1

47、.5mg l1 compared to the 42 mg l1 found in the as unit effluent (table 3).no significant differences were found during the whole operational period between the two as-pac units running with pacsb or paccom in spite of the differences in adsorption capacity shown by both activated carbons for phenol (

48、table 2). investigations on the combined adsorption-biodegradation treatment in batch cultures pointed to the irreversibility of adsorption to explain the better performance of activated carbon with the lowest adsorption capacity (de jonge et al. 1996). since phenol was reversibly adsorbed on both p
