Abstract in Portuguese
O presente trabalho constou da concepção de um reator anaeróbio em regime de batelada com circulação da fase aquosa contendo biomassa imobilizada em espuma de poliuretano. O reator foi operado em ciclos de 8 h e mantido a 30 ± 1ºC tratando água residuária sintética elaborada à base de glicose, com concentração de aproximadamente 500 mgDQO/L. O estudo hidrodinâmico realizado com velocidade superficial de recirculação entre 0,16 e 0,80 cm/s indicou que o tempo de mistura obtido em todas as condições pode ser considerado desprezível quando comparado ao tempo total do ciclo, e também permitiu considerar o comportamento do escoamento no leito como o de um reator pistonado. O desempenho do reator no tratamento da água residuária foi avaliado para a condição sem circulação e também para velocidades superficiais de recirculação entre 0,03 e 0,30 cm/s. Os resultados obtidos indicaram que o reator apresentou desempenho satisfatório e boa estabilidade, apresentando eficiências de até 96% de remoção da matéria orgânica. O aumento da velocidade superficial de recirculação diminuiu a resistência a transferência de massa na fase líquida, ocasionando um aumento de 115% na velocidade global de reação, estimada através do ajuste dos valores experimentais da concentração de substrato ao modelo de primeira ordem.

Anaerobic batch wastewater treatment with immobilized biomass and external circulation of the liquid phase
Keywords in English

Wastewater treatment
Abstract in English
A new configuration of an anaerobic bioreactor with external circulation of the liquid phase wherein the biomass was immobilized on a polyurethane foam matrix is proposed. 8-hours cycles were cartied out at a temperature of 30 ± 1°C treating glucose synthetic wastewater at a concentration around 500 mg/L. A hydrodynamic study performed at 0.16 to 0.80 cm/s showed that the obtained mixture time is insignificant compared to the total cycles time, and the flow through the polyurethane foam bed can be represented by a plug flow. The reactor's performance assessed without circulation and with circulating liquid superficial velocity between 0.03 and 0.30 cm/s. The reactor attained operating stability and a COD removal efficiency of 96% was achieved. The increase in the liquid superficial velocity decreases the liquid resistance mass transfer, resulting in an increase of 115% in the global reaction velocity, estimated through the fit of a first model equation on the substrate concentration experimental values.
