Biofilm composition and activity are two important parameters for the successful operation
and control of fixed film processes in water and wastewater treatment. Widely used …

Acidophilic micro-organisms inhabit some of the most metal-rich environments known,
including both natural and man-made ecosystems, and as such are ideal model systems for …

Biological oxidation of ferrous sulphate by Thiobacillus ferrooxidans has proved to be a
significant step in the bioleaching of sulphide minerals and treatment of acid mine drainage …

There is a need for alternative catalysts for oxygen reduction in the cathodic compartment of
a microbial fuel cell (MFC). In this study, we show that a bipolar membrane combined with …

Jarosite precipitation is a very important phenomenon that is observed in many bacterial
cultures. In many applications involving Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans, like coal …

The ability of the chemolithotrophic bacterium Thiobacillus ferrooxidans to oxidise ferrous
sulphate has been exploited in the process of bioleaching, treatment of acidic mine drainage …

Compared with conventional fluidized beds, circulating fluidized beds have many
advantages including better interfacial contacting and reduced backmixing (Lim et al., 1995) …

Abstract Recent progress on Aerobic Inverse Fluidized Bed Biofilm Reactors (AIFBBRs)
used for treatment of various industrial wastewaters is discussed in this article. For the …

Various new energy technologies have been developed to reduce reliance on fossil fuels.
The bioelectrochemical system (BES), an integrated microbial–electrochemical energy …

The aim of this study is to determine the influence of the surface properties on the microbial
adhesion to different substratum. Six polymer supports have been selected. Further, the …
