Hydrogen sulfide removal by immobilized autotrophic and heterotrophic bacteria in the bioreactors

  • Published:
Biotechnology Techniques

Summary

Autotrophic Thiobacillus sp. CH11 and heterotrophic Pseudomonas putida CH11 were isolated from piggery waste water. Extensive tests, including removal action, removal efficiency, removal capacity, and adaptability to perturbed conditions were conducted on autotrophic and heterotrophic biofilters. The results clearly demonstrate the application potential of autotrophic and heterotrophic biofilters for the continuous H2S removal under different perturbed conditions.
