Wastewater Purification: Aerobic Granulation in Sequencing Batch Reactors

by Yu Liu (Editor)

Overview

A newcomer to the scene, aerobic granulation is on its way to becoming the hot new technology for high-efficiency wastewater treatment. Thus far, intensive research has been conducted with regard to the understanding of the mechanism of aerobic granulation in sequencing batch reactors (SBR) and its application in treating a wide variety of municipa
