Anaerobic biological treatment of wastewater from paper recycling industry by UASB reactor
The use of an upflow anaerobic sludge blanket (UASB) reactor for the treatment of paper recycling industry effluent containing different pollutants was investigated. In the first phase, reactor was fed with anaerobic sludge and in the second phase, synthetic influent solution with different macro-nu...
