<p>The topic of the invention is a procedure for anaerobic biological treatment of cyanide and production of biogas from cyanide using a mixture of cyanide contaminated industrial wastes and organic matter rich industrial wastes as inflow for the treatment in typical anaerobic biogas production reactors. The procedure is based on anaerobic degradation of cyanide by microbial communities normally present in biogas production facilities, where the inflow to the reactor is a mixture of cyanide contaminated industrial wastewater and organic carbon rich wastewater of specific type. The procedure enables instant cyanide degradation by microbial consortia. In case of inhibition by cyanide, the reactor conditions enable also chemical reaction of cyanide detoxification that effectively lowers the cyanide inhibitory concentration, and allows for microbially mediated conversion of cyanide and its abiotic derivatives to additional biogas and methane.</p> |
