Adsorption of LCFA on anaerobic sludge under steady state and shock loading conditions: effect on acetogenic and methanogenic activity

Accumulation of LCFA adsorbed onto the biomass was quantified under steady-state and shock conditions in a fixed bed reactor fed with oleic acid. The amount of adsorbed LCFA was more dependent on LCFA concentration than on LCFA loading rate and inhibited the acetogenic, acetoclastic and hydrogenophy...
