Abstract:
:In recent years, the research on aerobic granulation has been intensive. So far, almost all aerobic granules can form only in sequencing batch reactors (SBR), while the reason is not yet understood. This paper attempts to review the factors involved in aerobic granulation in SBR, including substrate composition, organic loading rate, hydrodynamic shear force, feast-famine regime, feeding strategy, dissolved oxygen, reactor configuration, solids retention time, cycle time, settling time and exchange ratio. The major selection pressures responsible for aerobic granulation are identified as the settling time and exchange ratio. A concept of the minimal settling velocity of bioparticles is proposed; and it is quantitatively demonstrated that the effects of settling time and exchange ratio on aerobic granulation in SBR can be interpreted and unified on the basis of this concept very well. It appears that the formation and characteristics of aerobic granules can be manipulated through properly adjusting either the settling time or the exchange ratio in SBR. Consequently, theoretical and experimental evidence point to the fact that aerobic granulation is a selection pressure-driven cell-to-cell immobilization process.
