Abstract: High-rate anaerobic treatment has become one of the most popular designs for effluent treatment in recent years owing to its inherent priority in application. This paper summarizes the current situation in the study and application of anaerobic reactors，and then provides a review on the latest research progress in the hydrodynamics of these reactors and sludge granules. Finally，some problems in the related research area existed in China are analyzed. It is suggested that an interdisciplinary cooperation is an important direction for the study and application of anaerobic treatment.

摘要： 近年来，废水的厌氧生物处理工艺以其独特的技术优势在各种废水处理领域得到了广泛的应用。本文评述了当前国内外厌氧生物反应器研究以及应用方面的现状，对高效厌氧反应器流态以及颗粒污泥流体力学特性的一些最新研究进展作了综述并分析了我国此方面研究工作存在的问题。认为发挥多学科交叉互补的优势展开对工业规模厌氧污泥颗粒化现象的研究是今后研究工作努力的一个重要方向。
