abstract：:Anaerobic digestion (AD) of organics is a challenging task under high-strength sulfate (SO42-) conditions. The generation of toxic sulfides by SO42--reducing bacteria (SRB) causes low methane (CH4) production. This study investigated the feasibility of alleviating sulfide inhibition and enhancing CH4 production by usi...
