Journal ArticleDOI
Review paper on current technologies for decolourisation of textile wastewaters: Perspectives for anaerobic biotechnology
TL;DR: This paper provides a critical review on the current technologies available for decolourisation of textile wastewaters and it suggests effective and economically attractive alternatives.
Journal ArticleDOI
Impact and application of electron shuttles on the redox (bio)transformation of contaminants: a review.
TL;DR: The aim of this review paper is to summarize the results of reductive (bio)transformation processes catalyzed by electron shuttles and to indicate which aspects should be further investigated to enhance the applicability of redox mediators on the (biotransformation of contaminants.
Journal ArticleDOI
Competition between methanogenesis and quinone respiration for ecologically important substrates in anaerobic consortia.
TL;DR: Quinone-respiring bacteria are ubiquitous and that quinones in humus may significantly contribute to carbon cycling process by serving as a terminal electron acceptor for the anaerobic microbial oxidation of a wide variety of ecologically important substrates.
Journal ArticleDOI
Reduction of humic substances by halorespiring, sulphate-reducing and methanogenic microorganisms
Francisco J. Cervantes,Frank A. M. de Bok,Tuan Duong-Dac,Alfons J. M. Stams,Gatze Lettinga,Jim A. Field +5 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that the ubiquity of humus reduction found in many different environments may be as a result of the increasing number of anaerobic microorganisms, which are known to be able to reduce humic substances.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of different redox mediators during thermophilic azo dye reduction by anaerobic granular sludge and comparative study between mesophilic (30 °C) and thermophilic (55 °C) treatments for decolourisation of textile wastewaters
TL;DR: The impact of different redox mediators on color removal of azo dye model compounds and textile wastewater by thermophilic anaerobic granular sludge (55 °C) was investigated in batch assays in this paper.
