Integrating Biological Treatment and Electro-Oxidation in an Anaerobic Biomass Membrane Bioreactor for Innovative and Integrating Urban Wastewater Treatment
Résumé
In response to evolving environmental regulations, particularly the European Water Framework Directive, this study focuses on implementing an innovative Anaerobic Membrane BioReactor (AnMBR) configuration targeting the removal of organic recalcitrant micropollutants and energy recovery from urban wastewater. This novel configuration integrates biological treatment and electro-oxidation within a specialized AnMBR featuring granular sludge (e-GAnMBR). Notably, the engineered reactor intensifies biological reactions and addresses AnMBR challenges such as membrane fouling, upgrading methane production, and energy consumption mitigation. Tailored for the removal of organic micropollutants, with a particular emphasis on diuron, carbamazepine, and perfluorooctanesulfonic acid in this study, and an examination of their degradation pathways, transformation products, and toxicity, this innovative reactor represents a significant stride towards sustainable wastewater treatment.
