Biological sulfate reduction is widely used for treating sulfate-containing wastewaters from
industries such as mining, tannery, pulp and paper, and textiles. In biological reduction …

Heavy metals, such as lead, chromium, cadmium, zinc, copper, and nickel, are important
constituents of most living organisms, as well as many nonliving substances. Some heavy …

A simple and reproducible microbiological simulation procedure in combination with a
chemical procedure was used to test concrete for its potential resistance towards biogenic …

Over the past decades, biological treatment of metallurgical wastewaters has become
commonplace. Passive systems require intensive land use due to their slow treatment rates …

Sulfate reduction in salt rich wastewaters (50gNaClL− 1 and 1gMgCl2· 6H2OL− 1;
conductivity 60–70mScm− 1) was investigated in a 6L submerged anaerobic membrane …

Biological treatment of Cr (VI) contaminated waters was performed in fixed bed reactors
inoculated with SRB (sulphate-reducing bacteria) growing on ethanol. Treatment efficiency …

Sulfidogenic treatment of sulfate (2–10g/L) and zinc (65–677mg/L) containing simulated
wastewater was studied in a mesophilic (35° C) CSTR. Ethanol was supplemented …

Acid mine drainage is the outflow from a mining site which contains high sulfate and metal
concentrations and low pH. Appropriate disposal of this drainage relies on the removal and …

A batch upflow fixed-bed sulphate-reducing bioreactor has been set up and monitored for
the treatment of synthetic solutions containing divalent iron (100mg/L and 200mg/L), zinc …

Construction and demolition debris (CDD) contains high levels of sulfate that can cause
detrimental environmental impacts when disposed without adequate treatment. In landfills …
