Effect of Aluminium on Microbial Respiration
2008
Dorea, Caetano C. | Clarke, Brian A.
Aluminium is a non-essential element for biological systems and is used in water and wastewater processes that rely on (micro)biological purification processes. The effect of Al doses ranging from 100 to 2,000 μg/l on the microbial dissolved oxygen uptake (respiration) over a 24-h period was assessed. Results indicated that Al can reduce the 24-h respiration, but the effects of pH depression due to Al dosing during testing should be taken into account.
