Aerobic granulation is a novel environmental biotechnology recently developed for treating a wide spectrum of wastewater. Although extensive research effort has been dedicated to the development of aerobic granules in sequencing batch reactor (SBR), the mechanism responsible for aerobic granulation still remained unclear. Thus, this study attempted to address a basic question of what were the potential driving forces of aerobic granulation in SBR.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
