Bioreactor System for Bioremediation of Sulfate Rich Wastewater

This timely new book presents a new perspective on treatment of sulfate rich wastewater. The focus of the book is on cost effective treatment of sulfate rich wastewater and reduction of the waste into elemental sulfur. This book deals with the bioremediation potential of an anaerobic/microaerobic bioreactor system for the treatment of sulfate rich wastewater. It discusses in detail the various methods available for sulfate reduction along with its merits and demerits. Furthermore, the experimental setup that has been designed to maximize sulfate reduction and optimize the oxidation of elemental sulfur under different experimental operating conditions using various catalysts has also been discussed in detail. This book will offer readers with useful practical insights on cost effective treatment of sulfate rich wastewater. Finally, researchers and students will find this book helpful while configuring experimental setup for the biological treatment of wastewater.
