Abstract in Portuguese
Este trabalho apresenta uma análise comparativa da atividade biológica das células imobilizadas em um reator anaeróbio, tratando esgoto sanitário. Os materiais utilizados como suporte para o desenvolvimento do biofilme foram: um polimérico poroso (espuma de poliuretano), um polímero menos poroso (PVC), uma cerâmica porosa (cerâmica especial, desenvolvida pelo DEMA-UFSCar) e uma cerâmica menos porosa (tijolo refratário). A concepção do reator anaeróbio possibilitou o desenvolvimento do biofilme de forma igual, assim como a retirada desse suporte mantendo íntegra a biomassa aderida. Alguns suportes e o lodo retirados do reator anaeróbio foram colocados em reatores diferenciais para determinação dos parâmetros cinéticos. Esses parâmetros foram utilizados para avaliar a atividade biológica, tanto do biofilme aderido aos suportes quanto do lodo. As células imobilizadas nos materiais poliméricos apresentaram maior atividade biológica. Não foi verificada nenhuma diferença significativa na remoção dos constituintes da matéria orgânica (proteínas, carboidratos e lipídeos) entre as células imobilizadas. As análises microscópicas não constataram diferenças na predominância de algum gênero nos suportes ou lodo. O reator foi operado durante 183 dias, com remoção média de DQO de 50,5%, a taxa de carregamento orgânico média foi de 0,193 kg DQO.m3.dia-1.

Abstract in English
This work presents a comparative analysis of the biological activity of immobilized biomass in a fixed-bed anaerobic reactor treating domestic sewage. The matrices used for biofilm growth were a porous polymer (polyurethane foam), a polymer with low porosity (PVC), a porous ceramic (special ceramic) and a ceramic with low porosity (refractory brick). The conception of the fixed-bed anaerobic reactor warranty the structure and integrity of the biofilm when samples of support material must be taken. Moreover, the conditions for biofilm growth were similar for all the materials used. After start-up period, some supports were taken from the fixed-bed reactor and transferred to differential reactors, where kinetic studies were carried out. Kinetic parameters were estimated for the different supports and for granulated sludge and used to evaluate the biological activity in a comparative way. The cells adhered to the polymeric supports presented higher activities and the highest activity was obtained when polyurethane foam was used. No differences were verified for organic matter consumption (as proteins, carbohydrates and lipids) when different matrices were used for cell immobilization. Microscopic analysis indicated that the morphological types in the biofilms were similar in ali support materiais. The fixed-bed reactor was operated for 183 days with mean COD removal efficiency of 50.5%, subjected to a organic loading rate of 0.193 Kg COD.m3.dia-1.
