摘要: In an ethanol-fed expanded-granular-sludge-blanket (EGSB) reactor at 33°C, 80–90% of the sulphate load was removed a rate 4 g S/l d, provided that least 6 chemical oxygen demand (COD) per sulphate-sulphur supplied. The started up in matter days. Gradually decreasing ethanol to ratio (R) about stoichiometry, resulted 60–70% removal rates 7 d. Similar tendencies were observed with ethylene glycol as sole carbon and energy source. Total COD never reached more than 70–75%. This related rather high biomass washout. efficiency decrease when R set levels below 6, apparently because reducing bacteria (SRB) could not compete methane producing (MPB) for acetate produced from substrate dosed. Thermophilic operation 55°C, after stepwise increase temperature over period 23 days, did favour acetotrophic reduction. Yet, 48°C subsequently returning 33°C clearly enhanced conversion by SRB. case electron donor price 0.035–0.075 USD/kg COD, cost R=6 found be competitive i.e. R=2, biogas effectively used.
