UASB performance and electron competition between methane-producing archaea and sulfate-reducing bacteria in treating sulfate-rich wastewater containing ethanol and acetate
چکیده انگلیسی


• MPA predominated in COD and electrons utilization in high sulfate situation.
• At HRT of 6 h, methane yield reached 0.23 L/gCOD with COD removal above 80%.
• Methane was generated by Methanosaeta concilii GP6 with acetate as substrate.
• Sulfate was mainly reduced by Desulfovibrio species with ethanol as substrate.
• SRB accounted for 17.6% in bacteria and all belonged to incomplete oxidizers.

To find an appropriate method for sulfate-rich wastewater containing ethanol and acetate with COD/sulfate ratio of 1, a UASB reactor was operated for more than 180 days. The influences of HRT (hydraulic retention time) and OLR (organic loading rate) on organics and sulfate removal, gas production, and electrons utilization were investigated. The sludge activity and microorganism composition were also determined. The results indicated that this system removed more than 80% of COD and 30% of sulfate with HRT above 6 h and OLR below 12.3 gCOD/L d. Further HRT decrease caused volatile fatty acids accumulation and performance deterioration. Except at HRT of 2 h, COD and electron flow were mostly utilized by methane-producing archaea (MPA), and methane yield remained in the range of 0.18–0.24 LCH4/gCOD. Methane was mainly generated by Methanosaeta concilii GP6 with acetate as substrate, whereas sulfate was mainly reduced by incomplete-oxidizing Desulfovibrio species with ethanol as substrate.
