N2 - A upflow anaerobic sludge blanket reactor was operated combined to a membrane aerated biofilm reactor for sulfate removal and for elemental sulfur reclamation. A commercial silicon tube was used as an oxygen delivery diffuser. The process achieved high rates of sulfide removal from the liquid phase (90%). The hydrogen sulfide removal was influenced by the pH value and at pH value of 7.5, 98% of the H2S was removed. The elemental sulfur was observed inside the membrane, with content in the biomass of 21%. Through the massive sequencing of the samples, the microbial community diversity and the stratification of biomass inside the silicon tube was demonstrated, confirming the presence of sulfide-oxidizing bacteria on the membrane wall. The most important genera found related to the sulfur cycle were Sulfuricurvum, Geovibrio, Flexispira and Sulforospirillum.
