Anaerobic digestion is an efficient tool for improving aerobic biodegradability of coal gasification wastewater, but the shock loading usually results in a failed performance of the anaerobic process. The oxygen-limited aeration was conducted to handle the impact of coal gasification wastewater in an anaerobic expanded-bed GAC reactor. Results indicated that the oxygen-limited aeration of 0-0.5 mgO(2)/L could shorten the recovery time from 23 to 11 days under natural condition, and the addition of 1 g/L PAC could reduce the recovery time to 14 days. The corresponding removal efficiencies of COD and phenolic compounds could increase to above 60 and 50%, respectively. The phenol utilization rates of sludge reached 83.9 +/- 5.7 mg phenol/(g VSS d) after recovery of reactor performance by using oxygen-limited aeration, and only 70.4 +/- 3.8 mg phenol/(g VSS d) by using natural recovery and 65.2 +/- 5.9 mg phenol/(g VSS d) by using PAC addition. The recovery strategy of oxygen-limited aeration might be helpful to relieve the inhibitory effect of phenolic compounds and restore metabolic activity of anaerobic bacteria. (C) 2014 Elsevier Ltd.
