Anaerobic biodegradability of dairy wastewater pretreated with porcine pancreas lipase

open access: yesBrazilian Archives of Biology and Technology, 2010
Lipids-rich wastewater was partial hydrolyzed with porcine pancreas lipase and the efficiency of the enzymatic pretreatment was verified by the comparative biodegradability tests (crude and treated wastewater). Alternatively, simultaneous run was carried
