Effect of benzene and xylene on the work of activated sludge
Acta Microbiologica Polonica
|January 1, 1984
Abstract:
The effect of benzene and xylene on the work of activated sludge in synthetic wastewater was studied. The sludge was found to adapt with relative ease to increasing concentrations of benzene and xylene (up to 75 and 150 mg/l), respectively. Higher concentrations of both compounds were toxic for the sludge.
