Abstract
A combined process that consisted of a hybrid anaerobic reactor (HAR) with an integral bioelectrochemical system and aerobic biofilm reactor (ABFR) was established for simulated azo dye wastewater treatment (domestic wastewater containing dye acid orange 7). The split combination form that separated HAR and ABFR into two individual reactors recorded a decolorization efficiency of 81.23 ± 0.12%, which was about 8% higher than that HAR and ABFR were stacked together into a single up-flow reactor. Implementation of reflux improved the decolorization and chemical oxygen demand (COD) removal in both the processes. Decolorization efficiency achieved 97.52 ± 0.66% in split process at a reflux ratio of 1 and the COD was 89 ± 2 mg/L in the final effluent. Further increasing the reflux ratio to 3 did not have any significance in treatment performance of the reactors. This study comprehensively revealed the influence of combination forms and reflux ratio on the performance of combined process.
