The influence of oxygen concentration in liquid medium on elemental sulphur oxidation by Thiobacillus thiooxidans

摘要

Rate of elemental sulphur biooxidation by Thiobacillus thiooxidans bacteria in continuous culture with nutrient circulation was determined for oxygen concentration in liquid in the range 1-17 mg/dm(3) for temperature range 19-40 degrees C, pH from 1.5 to 4.5 and for CO2 concentration above 110 mg/dm(3). Equation describing the influence of above mentioned parameters on the rate of sulphur oxidation was presented. [References: 11]
