Abstract
Anaerobic biotransformation of the 3-carbon compounds, namely acrolein, acrylic acid, allyl alcohol, and n-propanol was studied in upflow anaerobic sludge blanket reactors containing granular cultures. The toxic effects of acrolein, acrylic acid, and allyl alcohol on an acetate-enriched Methanosarcina culture were determined. Moreover, process staging, effect of operational parameters such as influent concentration, F/M ratio and loading rate were also considered. The details of the results obtained of the studies are presented.
