This chapter highlights and discusses the important research studies that have been carried out previously on sulphate removal from wastewaters under anaerobic conditions. Moreover, the role of electron donor addition on biological sulphate reduction and the beneficial role of sulphate-reducing bacteria (SRB) are reviewed in this chapter. This chapter describes the fundamentals of the anaerobic sulphate reduction process, the factors affecting biological sulphate reduction and the different bioreactor configurations used for sulphate removal from wastewater.
