Abstract

Being under aerobic conditions, 15 strains methanol degradation bacteria, obtained from the aeration pond of Daqing fertilizer factory, were screened and acclimatized, and then were immobilized on granular activated carbon to form bio-reactor. Pilot-scale studies were conducted to investigate the optimal range of factors, such as different adsorption carriers, pH, temperature, dissolved oxygen (DO), methonal concentration and hydraulic retention time (HRT). It can be concluded that the degradation ratio of methonal is 70% at least when pH is in the range 7-8.5, temperature is in 25-35°C DO is in 3-5mg/l, HRT is 30min and substrate concentration is in the rage 15-35mg/l. The effluent concentrations of CODcr were not more than 12 mg/l that can meet the requirement of the desalination system and then the wastewater can be reused in industry boiler.
