Parameters such as hydraulic retention time (HRT) and filling time have been optimized to increase the phenol, resorcinol, catechol and chemical oxygen demand (COD) removal efficiencies. More than 99% phenol, 95% resorcinol and 96% catechol and 89% COD removal efficiency was obtained at optimum conditions of HRT = 1.25 d and fill time = 1.5 h. The heating value of the sludge was found to be 12 MJ/kg. The sludge can be combusted to recover its energy value.}, type={Artykuły / Articles}, title={Effect of Hydraulic Retention Time and Filling Time on Simultaneous Biodegradation of Phenol, Resorcinol and Catechol in a Sequencing Batch Reactor}, URL={http://journals.pan.pl/Content/85827/PDF/hydraulic.pdf}, doi={10.2478/v10265-012-0028-2}, keywords={phenol, resorcinol, catechol, brachiopods, hydraulic retention time, biodegradation}, }
