Abstract
The influence of two support materials, diabase and polyvinyl chloride (PVC), on the methanogenesis from anaerobic sludges supplemented with different concentrations of acetate and sulphate was evaluated by app lying a mathematical model according to the response surface technique . The results obtained suggest that the addition of both support mater ials did not exert significant effects on the methanogenesis From dome stic sludges. The best conditions to produce methane were obtained wit h the lowest concentration of sulphate (1 mM) and with the highest con centrations of acetate (75-100 mM). (C) 1997 Elsevier Science Ltd.
