Sequential Congo Red Elimination by UASB Reactor Coupled to Electrochemical Systems

Response surface methodology was investigated to determine the operational parameters on the degradation of Congo red dye (CR) and chemical oxygen demand (COD) in two electrochemical systems evaluated individually on effluent pretreated by an up-flow anaerobic sludge blanket (UASB) reactor. The UASB...
