Estimating the Biodegradability of Treated Sewage Samples Using Synchronous Fluorescence Spectra

Synchronous fluorescence spectra (SFS) and the first derivative spectra of the influent versus the effluent wastewater samples were compared and the use of fluorescence indices is suggested as a means to estimate the biodegradability of the effluent wastewater. Three distinct peaks were identified f...
