Kinetic analysis of biological sulphate reduction using lactate as carbon source and electron donor: Effect of sulphate concentration

A Kinetic Analysis of Microbial Sulfate Reduction in an Upflow Packed-Bed Anaerobic Bioreactor

“…After this, the solution was homogenized by agitation and later sterilized at 121°C for 30 min. It supports the growth of a wide spectrum of SRB, encouraging microbial diversity (Oyekola et al 2010). In this medium, the formation of black precipitate indicates the formation of FeS.…”

“…Studies with suspended mixed SRB consortia (fed with acetate and ethanol) and lactate-fed immobilized SRB cells have shown that sulfate reduction reaction kinetics is influenced by the influent sulfate concentration (Lenz et al 1995;Moosa et al 2002Moosa et al , 2005Oyekola et al 2010).…”

Removal of sulphate, COD and Cr(VI) in simulated and real wastewater by sulphate reducing bacteria enrichment in small bioreactor and FTIR study

“…The presence of heavy metals in final industrial effluents is extremely undesired, as they may accumulate to toxic levels and cause ecological damage under certain environmental conditions (Pagnanelli et al, 2010). When discharged untreated, it poses a threat to the quality of freshwater resources and consequently the well-being of humans and the environment at large (Oyekola et al, 2010). Anaerobic techniques are becoming increasingly important and intensively studied as they are cost-effective and environmentally safe.…”

Improvement of biological sulfate reduction by supplementation of nitrogen rich extract prepared from organic marine wastes

“…Different process parameters such as pH, sulfate and nitrogen concentration influence the treatment performance as they effect the growth of SRB (El Bayoumy et al, 1999;Oyekola et al, 2010;Sharma et al, 2014). In the present study, sulfate reduction was improved by optimizing the individual parameters like sulfate concentration, pH and MWE concentration.…”
