  abstract = {This work was conducted to investigate the potential of using municipal wastewater as the source of sulphide and to evaluate the removal efficiency of zinc from municipal wastewater spiked with zinc.  A two-stage experiment was     carried out in a single 1 L anaerobic reactor operated for 13 days. In stage I, municipal wastewater containing sulphate was left under anaerobic condition for eight days for the production of biological sulphide. In stage II, the ability of biologically produced sulphide to precipitate out zinc from the wastewater spiked under three different concentrations of zinc (10 mgL-1, 15 mgL-1 and 20 mgL-1) was evaluated. The results showed that high percentage of sulphate reduction was achieved in non-sterilized samples (>90%). A significant removal of zinc up to 56.87% was successfully removed from the non-sterilized samples spiked with 10 mgL-1 of zinc.},
