Abstract
Treatment of an effluent containing 50 mg/L of both abietic acid (AA) and d ehydroabietic acid (DHA) by 1-L upflow anaerobic sludge bed (UASB) and coup led anaerobic/aerobic system (CANOXIS) was comparatively studied for eight weeks. The CANOXIS reactors released three times less AA and DHA concentrat ions in their effluents than the UASB reactors. Furthermore, adsorption on UASB biomass was more significant than on CANOXIS biomass, with 15.8 compar ed to 4.1 mg AA/gVSS and 36.8 compared to 10.3 mg DHA/gVSS.
