Anaerobic processes in wastewater treatment and excess sludge digestion are desirable as these offer the prospect of energy recovery via the methane gas generated. However, hydrogen sulfide (H2S) generated from reduction of sulfate by sulfate reducing bacteria (SRB) during the process, is inhibitory...
