Phenolic wastewater was treated in complete mixing type three-phase fluidized bed which contained both biofilm and suspended sludge. By considering the contributions of biofilm and suspended sludge to biodegradation of phenol separately, phenol removal rates with biofilm and with suspended sludge were evaluated both theoretically and experimentally. As a result, biodegradation of phenolic wastewater by biofilm process could be treated as a zero-order reaction. The volumetric biological removal rates with biofilm was proportional to the specific surface area of the biofilm with biodegradation coefficients (K) of 1.25×10−2 kg-PhOH/m2-biofilm/d. At a lower suspended sludge concentration, bioparticle diameter and bioparticle hold-up in the three-phase fluidized bed reactor were decisive factors for the efficiency of phenol treatment, and it was also proved that almost 100 % of phenol removal could be attained at a larger specific biofilm surface area per volumetric phenol loading rate than 80 m2/(kg-PhOH/d) without suspended sludge.

A three-phase, liquid-fluidized-bed biofilm reactor was operated over wide ranges of liquid velocity, air velocity, medium concentration, and substrate surface loading. The biofilm characteristics (total colonization, polysaccharide content, density, and thickness) and the specific detachment coefficient (bs) were determined by a combination of experimental measurements and a hydrodynamic model. The results demonstrated that dense and thin biofilms were induced by the physical condition of high particle-to-particle contacts and high liquid turbulence. The biofilm's polysaccharide content was increased by increased air turbulence and a low substrate availability. The specific detachment coefficient, bs, was strongly correlated to the concentration of the medium (negatively) and the polysaccharide content (positively). Overall, the bs can be controlled significantly by the gas and liquid velocities; increasing either velocity tends to increase bs.
