The objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of the two processes under sequencing batch reactor (SBR) operation in treating copper and cadmium-containing synthetic wastewater with powdered activated carbon (PAC) as the adsorbent. The SBR systems were operated with FILL, REACT, SETTLE, DRAW and IDLE periods in the ratio of 0.5:3.5:1.0:0.75:0.25 for a cycle time of 6h. In the presence of 10mg/L Cu(II) and 30mg/L Cd(II), respectively, the average COD removal efficiencies were above 85% with the PAC dosage in the influent solution at 143mg/L compared to around 60% without PAC addition. Copper(II) was found to exert a more pronounced inhibitory effect on the bioactivity of the microorganisms compared to Cd(II). It was observed that the combined presence of Cu(II) and Cd(II) did not exert synergistic effects on the microorganisms. Kinetic study conducted for the REACT period showed that the addition of PAC had minimized the inhibitory effect of the heavy metals on the bioactivity of microorganisms. 2016-06-04T07:47:51Z 2016-06-04T07:47:51Z 2002 Article Water Research, vol.36 (3), 2002, pages 667-675 0043-1354 http://dspace.unimap.edu.my:80/xmlui/handle/123456789/41881 doi:10.1016/S0043-1354(01)00257-3 en Elsevier Limited
