Coupled bioelectrochemical system-upflow anaerobic sludge blanket (BES-UASB) was utilized for wastewater treatment containing 2,4-dichloronitrobenzene (DClNB). The results indicated that a proper voltage enhanced the DClNB reduction, however, over high voltage presented a negative impact (2.0 V). Synergistic effect of external voltage and anaerobic sludge was observed, and dechlorination efficiency reached 57.8 ± 5.4% in the coupled BES, which was higher than the sum of anaerobic sludge and electric system (48.2%). Moreover, the coupled system was more tolerant of high salinity and pollutant concentration. Dehydrogenase activity (DHA) was related to microbial electron transfer activity and DHA reached a maximum 453 ± 33 μgTF g⁻¹VSS h⁻¹ in the coupled reactor which was 1.6-fold that of the control, meanwhile, extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) content was significantly enhanced in the presence of external voltage. In summary, the coupled BES-UASB systems could be an alternative for removal of recalcitrant pollutants such as DClNB.
