Comparison Between Acidogenic and Methanogenic Inhibition Caused by Linear Alkylbenzene-Sulfonate (LAS)

چکیده
The anaerobic mixed microbiote may be inhibited through different mechanisms: inhibition by product or substrate, by the physical characteristics of the medium (pH or temperature), and by inhibitory substances, organic or inorganic. Biological activity tests have been the most widely used, of different experimental procedures known, to evaluate the toxicity of various compounds in anaerobic processes. The present study evaluates the inhibitory effect of the anionic surfactant LAS (linear alkylbenzene-sulfonate) on the main anaerobic microbiotes (acidogenic and methanogenic) involved in anaerobic digestion in a reactor treating organic wastewater in the thermophilic range, by means of specific activity tests. Inhibition functions are obtained for inhibition in both microbiotes. The EC50 (the concentration that reduces by half the activity of a population) is also calculated, giving EC50 (meth)= 6.3 ppm, and EC50 (acid)= 18.9 ppm. The results show that the methanogenic microbiote is more sensitive to LAS than the acidogenic.

Activated carbon from pine cone (PCAC) was used as a precursor to prepare Fe3O4/magnetic activated carbon (MPCAC). Here, the removal of linear alkylbenzene sulfonate (LAS) was studied using catalytic ozonation process (COP) in exposure to MPCAC. Subsequently, it was compared with PCAC. Moreover, the effects of solution's initial pH, catalyst dosage, and the time of ozonati...

متن کاملSorption of linear alkylbenzene sulfonate to soil components and effects on microbial iron reduction.
When sewage sludge is applied to arable land, linear alkylbenzene sulfonate (LAS) is released into the environment. In soils, LAS has been shown to impede microbial processes, such as bacterial iron reduction. The aim of the present study was to quantify LAS adsorption and desorption to agricultural soils and iron oxides and relate this to the inhibition of microbial iron reduction. Two agricul...
