A series of experiments were carried out to investigate the effect of external volatile fatty acid (VFA) dosing, airflow rate, and temperature on SNDPR using pilot-scale SBMBBRs. Stable and robust SNDPR was achieved with an optimum acetic acid supply of 150 mg SCOD/L, at 20 ^oC and 2.5 L air/min. A low airflow rate (AFR) and high-temperature conditions affected P release and uptake kinetics.

It was also found that combing manganese oxidizing bacteria with n-MnOx can enhance the degradation of EFX and alter the degradation pathway as well. The transformation products of EFX were analyzed with UPLC-MS/MS, which revealed seven products. Based on them, it is proposed that the degradation may start with the dehydrogenation from the piperazine moiety that was further broken down. Respirometry tests demonstrated that the degradation with n-MnOx significantly reduced the toxicity of EFX.

We found that electro-Fenton removed COD and TOC more efficiently. The biodegradability BI (BOD₅/COD) parameter was investigated, where the textile wastewater was hardly biodegradable (BI was 0.12 ± 0.007). BI of Fenton was also low (0.044 ± 0.006).
