TL;DR: Leachate recirculation reduced the waste stabilization time and was effective in enhancing methane gas production and improving leachate, but was not effective in removing ammonia from the leachates.

TL;DR: In this article, the influence of different wastewater compositions on the extracellular polymer substances (EPS) and physicochemical properties (surface charge, bound water and contact angle) were studied in continuous fed completely stirred tank reactor (CSTR).

TL;DR: In this paper, the content of protein, polysaccharide and DNA were quantified in four different industries and municipal sludge flocs by continuous operation of five lab-scale activated sludge reactors under steady and unsteady state conditions.

TL;DR: Experimental data obtained from the steady-state conditions showed that Grau second order, modified Stover-Kincannon and Contois substrate removal kinetic models were suitable than the other applied models for predicting the performance of lab-scale UASB reactor treating the azo dyes.

TL;DR: In this article, the anaerobic treatability of reactive black 5 in an an-aerobic/aerobic sequential process was investigated in a laboratory scale upflow anaerobatic sludge blanket (UASB) reactor/completely stirred tank (CSTR) with different organic loadings and hydraulic retention times (HRT).
