This study aimed to investigate the effect of glucose or sucrose as cosubstrate on the kinetics of 4-chlorophenol (4-CP) biodegradation by 4-CP-acclimated activated sludge. The performance of 4-CP biodegradation was enhanced in the presence of co-substrate with greater values of zero-order rate c...
