Anaerobic microbial community dynamics during discontinuous treatment of a synt...
Salvador, A. F.; Cavaleiro, A. J.; Pereira, M. A.; Alves, M. M.Background and aims: Anaerobic digestion is an opportunity to generate energy from treatment of effluents with high lipid content. Nevertheless, long-chain fatty acids (LCFA) usually accumulate within reactors causing biomass washout and microbial inhibition. Discontinuous operation was suggested as the optimal strategy to treat LCFA-rich wastewater. In this work, microbial community dynamics was investigated, ...
Continuous high rate anaerobic treatment of oleic acid based wastewater is poss...
Cavaleiro, A. J.; Salvador, A. F.; Alves, J. I.; Alves, M. M.Mineralization of a synthetic effluent containing 50% COD as oleic acid was achieved in a continuous anaerobic reactor at organic loading rates up to 21 kg COD m−3 day−1, HRT of 9 h, attaining 99% of COD removal efficiency and a methane yield higher than 70%. A maximum specific methane production rate of 1170 ± 170 mg COD-CH4 g VS−1 day−1 was measured during the reactor’s operation. A start-up strategy combinin...

Optimization of dark fermentation processes for biohydrogen production from sugars
Abreu, A. A.Tese de doutoramento em Engenharia Química e Biológica; Hydrogen is recognized as a potential future energy carrier for the replacement of fossil fuels. Mixed culture dark fermentation is considered one of the most promising, sustainable and environmentally friendly process for byohydrogen production, since waste and wastewaters can be used as feedstocks. This thesis reports batch and continuous experiments per...
Strategies to Suppress Hydrogen-Consuming Microorganisms Affect Macro and Micro...
Abreu, A. A.; Alves, J. I.; Pereira, M. A.; Sousa, D. Z.; Alves, M. M.Treatment of anaerobic granules with heat and two chemical treatments, contacting with 2-bromoethanesulfonate (BES) and with BESþChloroform, were applied to suppress hydrogen-consuming microorganisms. Three mesophilic expanded granular sludge bed (EGSB) reactors— RHeat, RBES, and RBESþChlo—were inoculated with the treated sludges and fed with synthetic sugar-based wastewater (5 gCOD L 1, HRT 20–12 h). Morpholog...
