Description:
This study was conducted to investigate the toxicity of six electroplating metals on the H"2-producing activity of a granular sludge sampled from an H"2-producing upflow reactor treating sucrose-containing wastewater. The H"2 production activities of the sludge were measured in serum vials using wastewater containing not just sucrose and proper nutrient, but also individual heavy metals at concentrations ranging 0-5000mgl^-^1. The relative toxicity to H"2 production was found in the following order: Cu (most toxic)@?Ni~Zn>Cr>Cd>Pb (least toxic). The C"I","5"0 values, at which the bioactivity of the sludge was reduced to 50% of the control, for individual heavy metals were Cu 30mgl^-^1, Ni and Zn 1600mgl^-^1, Cr 3000mgl^-^1, Cd 3500mgl^-^1, and Pb >5000mgl^-^1. Compared with the literature data, H"2-producing sludge exhibited in general higher resistance to metal toxicity than methanogenic granular sludge.
