摘要：Soluble anthraquinone compounds including anthraquinone-2-sulfonate (AQS) and anthraquinone-2,6-disulfonate can accelerate anaerobic decolorization of azo dyes. To realize the application of these compounds, the catalytic performance and stability of AQS-modified polyurethane foam (AQS-PUF) for Reactive Red K-2G decolorization were investigated in an up-flow anaerobic bioreactor under saline conditions. The results showed that the optimal influent pH value and hydraulic retention time were 7 and 10 h, respectively, in a continuous-flow bioreactor amended with AQS-PUF (R1). Under the above conditions, R1 (93.8 % color removal) displayed better decolorization performance than the bioreactor amended with PUF (R2, 64 % color removal) in 10 days, when influent K-2G concentration was 50 mg/L. Moreover, compared with R2, R1 could more effectively cope with 50-400 mg/L K-2G and exhibited better stability with over 85 % color removal efficiency within 75 days. Further bacterial community analysis using polymerase chain reaction-denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis showed that AQS-reducing bacteria played an important role in accelerating K-2G decolorization in R1. Extracellular polymeric substances analysis found that biofilm formed on AQS-PUF had very limited negative effects on K-2G decolorization. The catalytic performance of used AQS-PUF only decreased less than 9 % in batch experiments. These findings indicate that AQS-PUF has potential application for the treatment of azo dye-containing wastewater.
