Nowadays formaldehyde is used as raw material in many industries. It has also disinfection applications in some public places. Due to its toxicity for microorganisms, chemical or anaerobic biological methods are applied for treating wastewater containing formaldehyde.In this research, formaldehyde removal efficiencies of aerobic biological treatment systems including moving bed biofilm (MMBR) a...

a biofilm sequencing batch reactor with a volume of 1.42 m3, nylon nets providing a 4,140 m2/m3 support area for biofilms and an automated operation with 8 hour cycles was studied. the duration of the experiment was 135 days. removal efficiencies e≥ 80% were obtained for carbonaceous matter, producing an effluent with 31±26.8 mg/l of filtered cod, 7±3.6 mg/l of bod5 and 12±3.2 mg/l of toc. the ...
