Assessment of Chemical Inhibitor Addition to Improve the Gas Production from Biowaste [PDF]

, 2019
The coexistence of sulphate-reducing bacteria and methanogenic archaea in the reactors during the anaerobic digestion from sulphate-containing waste could favor the accumulation of sulfide on the biogas, and therefore reduce its quality.
