Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
The study focused on the treatment of tannery industrial wastewater (TIW); TIW containing 10 mg/L Cr 3+ (TIW + 10 Cr 3+ ) and synthetic tannery industrial wastewater (STIW) containing Cr +3 concentrations of 0, 5, 10, 20, 30 and 40 mg/L using a sequencing batch reactor (SBR) system at hydraulic retention times (HRT) of 1.5, 3 and 5.0 d and concentrations of mixed liquor suspended solids (MLSS) of 1,000, 2,000, 3,000, 4,000 and 5,000 mg/L removal efficiency were determined. The highest Cr +3, COD, BOD 5, TKN and TN removal efficiencies of 87.5 ± 0.2, 96 ± 0, 96 ± 1, 88.5 ± 0.1 and 61.0 ± 0.5%, respectively, were detected with STIW + 5 Cr +3 at MLSS of 5,000 mg/L and HRT of 3 d. Cr +3 gave a strong repression effect to the growth and activity of young bio-sludge, and the effect increased with increase in Cr +3 concentration or loading. However, older bio-sludge showed strong resistance to Cr +3 toxicity and had higher Cr +3 adsorption yield than younger bio-sludge. The SBR system with raw TIW showed the highest Cr 3+, COD, BOD 5, TKN and TN removal efficiencies of 96.9 ± 0.2, 98 ± 1, 99 ± 0, 69.2 ± 0.0 and 60.3 ± 0.1%, respectively, at HRT of 5 d and MLSS of 5,000 mg/L. Efficiency with TIW was reduced by addition of Cr +3. However, the efficiency was recovered with increase in HRT. The system containing TIW + 10 Cr 3+ showed the highest Cr +3, COD, BOD 5, TKN and TN removal efficiencies of 95.6 ± 0.3, 98 ± 1, 99 ± 0, 68.6 ± 0.0 and 60.0 ± 0.1%, respectively, with SVI less than 100 mL/g at HRT of 5 d and MLSS of 5,000 m/L.
