Biodegradation of bezafibrate by the activated sludge under aerobic condition: Effect of initial concentration, temperature and pH

Lab-scale experiments were conducted to investigate the effect of initial concentration, temperature and pH on the removal of bezafibrate (BF) by activated sludge under aerobic condition. The results showed that adsorption of BF onto activated sludge was negligible, and biodegradation was the main r...
