This paper presents an assessment of the start-up performance of aerobic granular sludge (AGS) for the treatment of low-strength (chemical oxygen demand, COD < 200 mg/L) domestic wastewater by the application of a diatomite carrier. The feasibility was evaluated in terms of the start-up period an...
