Bio-Refinery of Organics into Value-Added Biopolymers: Exploring the Effects of Hydraulic Retention Time and Organic Loading Rate on Biopolymer Harvesting from a Biofilm-Based Process.

As illustrated in Figure 2 , the mean particle sizes of the suspended biomass exhibited an increasing trend with the reduction of HRT, and the mean particle sizes under the HRT conditions of 12 h, 6 h, and 2 h were 352.1 μm, 563.7 μm, and 796.2 μm, respectively.

In addition, a decreasing trend of the difference between the ALE production of biofilm and suspended biomass could be observed with the decrease in HRT, with the differences of 20.07 mg/g ALE, 4.34 mg/g ALE, and 1.85 mg/g ALE, respectively ( Figure 3 ).
