dc.description.abstractThe objectives of this work were to provide rigorous kinetic information on the effects of feed sulphate concentration and temperature on the anaerobic sulphate reduction process and to develop a kinetic model to explain this dependency. These objectives were addressed by performing batch and continuous sulphate reduction experiments using a mixed sulphate reducing microbial culture with acetate as the organic carbon and electron donor source. Sulphate concentration, acetate concentration and biomass concentration was used to determine the metabolic activity of the microorganisms and the rate of sulphate conversion.en_ZA
