Removal of ciprofloxacin by anaerobic membrane bioreactor (AnMBR) and post-treatment of AnMBR effluent by Mai, Do Thi

“…However, the overall performance of the AnMBR was still reasonable with an average of 78 ± 13% COD removal, and 50-76% of the CIP was removed when the CIP was fed at a concentration <1.5 mg/L. Biological degradation was the main mechanism for removing CIP, with a few intermediate compounds detected, but when CIP was added to the feed at 4.7 ± 0.7 mg/L, the removal of CIP decreased to < 20%. …”
