Rhodopseudomonas palustris immobilized on multiple materials was used to invistigate Cr(VI) adsorption and bioreduction. The highest Cr(VI) removal (97.5%) was achieved at 276h under the opitimed conditions of 2.

A wealth of organic contaminants, including nutrients and energy, are present in municipal sludge. Anaerobic fermentation can be used to extract useful resources from sludge, producing hydrogen, methane, short-chain fatty acids, and, via further chain elongation, medium-chain fatty acids.

- - Chain elongation technology enhances anaerobic digestion by using microorganisms to convert waste biomass into valuable medium-chain fatty acids, diverging from traditional methods that require specific substrates.
- - The process faces challenges such as toxic by-products and competition among microorganisms, which hinder its industrial application.
- - The study reviews current research on electron donors, competition, toxicity issues, and offers suggestions for future advancements in chain elongation technology to encourage further exploration in the field.
