Research Abstract

The aims of this study were to establish and control of methanogenic microbial communities for the treatment of refractory wastewaters and to isolate some useful microorganisms from the established methanogenic systems. The results showed the methanogenic systems for artificial saline wastewaters containing 2.5-7.5%(w/v) of NaCl and a biodiesel facility's wastewater (an alkaline wastewater, pH10-11) were successfully established. In addition, some methanogens were isolated from the methanogenic systems of artificial saline wastewaters containing different concentrations of NaCl.
