Abstract(summary):

2,4-Dichlorophenol (2,4-DCP) degrading mixed culture was immobilized in polyvinyl alcohol jel beads and supplemented to sequencing batch reactors (SBR) to treat 2,4-DCP containing wastewater. Impacts of bioaugmentation level on the performance of bioaugmented systems were studied. Results show that inoculum size affected the start-up time of the SBR systems. For the non-augmented SBR system, nine days was needed for the system to start-up, whereas it only took six, four, three and two days for the SBRs with 1.9%, 3.7%, 5.6% and 9.3% immobilized culture, respectively. In addition, bioaugmented SBR systems demonstrated stronger capacity to cope with high 2,4-DCP shock loading than the control system. The control SBR failed to treat 2,4-DCP at 166 mg/l in influent, while the SBR with 1.9% inoculation could successfully cope with 2A-DCP at 166 mg/l, but failed at 250 mg/l, and the SBR with 3.7%, 5.6% and 9.3% immobilized culture could successfully degrade 250 mg/l 2,4-DCP in feed. Furthermore, the contributions to the removal of 2,4-DCP by the introduced and indigenous culture in an augmented SBR system at various operation stages were investigated. It was found that augmented culture played the primary role in degrading 2A-DCP at the beginning of system start-up, but after one-month operation. both the indigenous and the introduced culture posed strong ability to degrade 2,4-DCP.
