Particularly, the influence of operational conditions, such as the applied organic rate (OLR) and the dilution factor (for toxicity attenuation) of the textile wastewater, was evaluated on color and organic matter removal. In addition, the effect of powdered activated carbon (PAC) on SAMBR-1 and the addition of yeast extract (source of the redox mediator riboflavin) were also investigated. The results showed that reducing the textile wastewater dilution factor from 10× (phase 1) to 4× (phase 2) and 0× (no dilution) decreased the COD and color removal efficiencies in both SAMBRs, probably due to an increase in the toxic load. Nevertheless, PAC adsorbed toxic compounds found in the textile wastewater and helped biomass acclimatization, which led to higher COD and color removal efficiencies in SAMBR-1. The presence of yeast extract enhanced color removal efficiencies 3-fold in both SAMBRs when they were fed with undiluted textile wastewater.en-USabertoAnaerobic treatmentToxicityTextile influentPowdered activated carbonInfluence of the applied organic load (OLR) on textile wastewater treatment using submerged anaerobic membrane bioreactors (SAMBR) in the presence of redox mediator and powdered activated carbon (PAC).Artigo publicado em periodicoOs trabalhos publicados no periódico Brazilian Journal of Chemical Engineering, exceto onde identificado, estão sob uma licença Creative Commons que permite copiar, distribuir e transmitir o trabalho desde que sejam citados o autor e o licenciante.
