This study investigated the continuous biological removal of selenate [Se(VI)] in the presence of cadmium [Cd(II)] and zinc [Zn(II)] by anaerobic granular sludge in two upflow anaerobic sludge blanket (UASB) reactors operating under psychrophilic (17.5 ± 0.4 ℃) and mesophilic (30 ± 0.5 ℃) conditions for 42 and 74 days, respectively. Se(VI) and total selenium (Se) removal efficiencies reached, respectively, 99.6% and 95.0% in the UASB reactor operating at psychrophilic conditions. Cd(II) and Zn(II) removal efficiencies by the mesophilic UASB...
