| Abstract |
A strain of Desulfovibrio Desulfuricans was used to test the feasibility of treating acid mine water biologically. Sulfate reduction rates were measured with lactate media at different temperatures, influent pH, and sulfate concentrations in batch and continuous reactors. Among the several additional organic substrates tested, digester sludge appears to be the most attractive because of its low cost and its neutralizing properties. Sulfate reduction in mixtures of acid mine water and digester sludge were demonstrated in a semi-continous reactor and the sulfate reduction rates were measured. The controlling factors of sulfate reduction are discussed. |
