Influence of adsorption and anaerobic granular sludge characteristics on long chain fatty acids inhibition process

The impact of LCFA adsorption on the methanogenic activity was evaluated in batch assays for two anaerobic granular sludges in the presence and absence of bentonite as synthetic adsorbent. A clear inhibitory effect at an oleate (C18:1) concentration of 0.5 gC18:1 L-1 was observed for both sludges.
