Sulfate-reducing bioreactors for sulfide production are the initial stage of processes targeting elemental sulfur recovery from sulfate-rich effluents. In this work, principal reactions involved in glycerol fermentation and sulfate reduction using its products as electron donors were assessed together with their specific consumption/production rates. A battery batch activity tests without perfo...

Reuse of treated wastewater for irrigation purposes is a measure to reduce water stress and overexploitation freshwater resources. This study aims investigate the environmental economic impacts current conventional treatment plant (WWTP) in Peschiera Borromeo (Milan, Italy), compare possible scenarios enable reclaimed reuse agriculture. Accordingly, we propose alternative disinfection methods (...

We studied the peptide-degrading anaerobic communities of methanogenic reactors from two mesophilic full-scale modified upflow anaerobic sludge blanket (UASB) reactors treating brewery wastewater in Colombia. Most probable number (MPN) counts varied between 7.1 x 10(8) and 6.6 × 10(9) bacteria/g volatile suspended solids VSS (Methanogenic Reactor 1) and 7.2 × 10(6) and 6.4 × 10(7) bacteria/g (V...

we evaluated the efficacy of a full-scale combined biophysicochemical system for treatingmolasses-based bioethanol wastewater in terms of organic substances, nutrient, and dark brown color removal. the main organic removal unit, i.e., the upflow anaerobic sludge blanket (uasb) reactor, achieved 80.7% removal and 4.3 nm3 methane production per cubic meter of wastewater with a hydraulic retention...
