Article Synopsis
- Jarosite particles produced in iron-oxidizing bioreactors can host iron-oxidizing microorganisms, and this study aimed to create a bioprocess using these particles as carriers.
- Experiments revealed that in a fluidized-bed bioreactor, jarosite particles disintegrated and washed out at higher upflow velocities but performed better in an expanded-bed bioreactor (J-EBR) with a slower upflow velocity of 0.19 cm/s.
- The J-EBR showed an iron oxidation rate of 6.8 g/l/h, which was lower than the 10.1 g/l/h in an activated carbon bioreactor (AC-FBR), likely due to reduced oxygen transfer efficiency associated
