For removing COD and NH3-N from high-strength coke-plant wastewater, studies were conducted in a lab scale, continuous flow system, in which anaerobic, anoxic and oxic units were included. The results have shown that the effluent COD and NH3-N of A-A/O system could be less than 78 mg/L and 4.7 mg/L respectively when the influent COD and NH3-N were higher than 1200 mg/L and 240 mg/L respectively at a total HRT of 36 hrs. Moreover, the total nitrogen of wastewater was removed by 49%. It is concluded that A-A/O system is efficient for coke-plant wastewater treatment and the anaerobic process has played very important role in the system.
