Molybdate delays sulphide formation in the sediment and transfer to the bulk liquid in a model shrimp pond by Torun, Funda, Hostins, Barbara, De Schryver, Peter, Boon, Nico, De Vrieze, Jo

“…Sodium molybdate (5 and 25 mg/L Na2MoO4.2H2O) was applied as a preventive strategy to control sulphide production before oxygen depletion. Molybdate addition partially mitigated H2S production in the sediment, and delayed its transfer to the bulk liquid by pushing the higher sulphide concentration zone towards deeper sediment layers. …”
