ABSTRACT:
Sulfate ions contained in aqueous streams essentially free of organic carbon such as sulfuric acid streams are converted into more recoverable form by subjecting the stream to the action of sulfate-reducing bacteria in an inorganic, anaerobic system in the presence of an excess of calcium carbonate and converting the resultant sulfide ions into an undissolved vapor or solid phase to facilitate recovery.
