The feasibility of using a single vessel reactor for the biological treatment of
recalcitrant compounds, namely reactive azo dyes discharged by the textile finishing
industry was investigated. A synthetic effluent was derived from real processes to
give reproducibility throughout the experimental period. The literature review found
that a sequenced treatment of anaerobic then aerobic redox environments was
required for the decolourisation and mineralisation of the dyes. Two biological reactor
types were accordingly designed, built and tested, the sequencing batch reactor (SBR)
and the hybrid anaerobic baffled reactor (HABR). [Continues.]
