Abstract

The avermectin wastewater was treated with UASB technique. The paper was focused mainly on the removal rate of COD and the change of ammonia nitrogen of influent and effluent wastewater in the first running stage. At the stable phase of anaerobic operation, the removal rate of COD could be stabilized at 85% when the influent volume load was 9.21 kg/(m3•d), and the effluent COD was about 1400 mg/L. As for ammonia nitrogen concentration of influent and effluent wastewater, in the first 50 days, the former was larger than the latter, after then, it was opposite. In the condition of same volume load but different hydraulic retention time (COD concentration of influent being different), COD removal rate kept almost the same. In the second running stage, the influent COD volume load reached 9.21 kg/(m3•d) at the 16th day, with the COD removal rate being around 87%.
