β¦ Synopsis
A mixed culture derived from cow dung and sewage sludge and adapted to phenol was used for anaerobic phenol degradation. The phenol degradation rate depended on the period of adaptation of the mixed culture to phenol. In the continuous process, a higher degradation rate (2500 mg.1(-1) d(-1)) and better reactor stability was achieved with a granular activated-carbon-packed bed reactor than with a stirred tank reactor.

Continuous biological hydrogen production from sweet sorghum syrup by mixed cultures was investigated by using anaerobic sequencing batch reactor (ASBR). The ASBR was conducted based on the optimum condition obtained from batch experiment i.e. 25 g/L of total sugar concentration, 1.45 g/L of FeSO 4
