Development of pseudo-amphoteric sponge media using poly alkylene oxide-modified polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) for rapid start-up of wastewater treatment plant

摘要

Hydrophobic sponge media require a relatively long start-up period, as they just float on the surface of aeration tanks due to their little tendency to adsorb water, which causes a delay in the initiation of bacterial attachment. In order to overcome this
