In this study, the effect of sulphate-reducing bacteria inhibitor (MoO−24 ) addition in a two phase system from sulphate-containing municipal solid waste to improve the quality of the biogas has been investigated. The results showed that although SRB and sulphide production decreased, the use of inhibitor was not effective to improve the anaerobic digestion in a two phasesystem from sulphate-containing waste, since a significant decrease on biogas and organic matter removal were observed. Before MoO−2 4 addition the average values of volatile solid were around 12 g/kg, after 5 days of inhibitor use, those values did exceed to 28 g/kg. Molybdate caused acidification in the reactor and it was according to decrease in the pH values. In relation to microbial consortia, the effect of inhibitor was a decrease in Bacteria (44%; 60% in sulphate-reducing bacteria) and Archaea (38%) populations PB SPRINGER SN 1877-2641 YR 2019 FD 2019-05 LK http://hdl.handle.net/10498/22442 UL http://hdl.handle.net/10498/22442 LA eng DS Repositorio Institucional de la Universidad de Cádiz RD 22-sep-2026
