Abstract:
      The present study explored treatment of washing wastewater from scattered and small-scale piggeries by anaerobic baffled reactor (ABR). The operating performances of two influent patterns --sequencing batch(SB) and continuous operation(CO) were compared. The removals of pollutants by SB-ABR in an operation cycle were investigated. The signature organics were detected by three-dimensional fluorescence spectrum and ion chromatography. The removal rates of COD by SB-and CO-ABR were greater than 60%, with CO-ABR higher than SB-ABR. The average COD in the effluent of SB-ABR was 600 mg·L-1 at COD loading rate of 1.40 kg·m-3·d-1, which was greater than that of CO-ABR(350 mg·L-1). The alkalinity of SB-and CO-ABR were more than 1000 mg·L-1. The COD was mainly removed in the first grid of SB-ABR. The organics were reduced quickly during the early period, and reached a steady status after 12 h. In the SB-ABR, there were two fluorescence peaks at λExEm=275 nm/340 nm and λExEm=220 nm/340 nm, which represents protein-like substances, with the peak intensity decreasing along the flow path. The variation trend of the protein-like fluorescence peaks was similar to that of COD. The organics were mainly hydrolyzed within the first 4 h, and small molecular organics, such as formic acid, acetic acid and propionic acid, were mainly produced during this period.
