Abstract:This study evaluated the performance of biofilm reactors inoculated with
azo dye degrading Shewanella for the decolorization of Reactive
Black 5 (RB5), using three different carrier materials, namely almond
shell biochar, moving bed biofilm reactor (MBBR), and polypropylene
carrier (PPC). The reactors were fed with low-nutrient artificial
wastewater containing RB5 for a long term, and all three carriers showed
good RB5 decolorization performance, with varying efficiencies. LC-MS
analysis revealed significant d… Show more
