The granular activated carbon with immobilized microbes was packed into a column and fed with 3 liter methylene blue-containing wastewater daily. With initial 1350 mg/l of methylene blue and 1550 mg/l of chemical oxygen demand, it was observed that the colour and chemical oxygen demand removal efficiencies were 99 and 78%, respectively. The high treatment performance of the system could be due to the simultaneous adsorption and biodegradation processes and advantages of immobilized microbes compare to suspended cell system. 2009-08-02T02:09:14Z 2009-08-02T02:09:14Z 2007-05 Article Environmental Chemistry Letters, vol.5 (2), 2007, pages 95-99 1610-3653 http://www.springerlink.com/content/u4463234800v16p5/ http://hdl.handle.net/123456789/6657 en Springer-Verlag
