Corn stover biochar (CSB) and maple (MB) were added into anaerobic digesters evaluated for hydrogen sulfide (H
Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) in biogas is produced during anaerobic digestion of organic wastes and can lead to corrosion generators used for energy production. Recently, there has been interest utilizing biochar as a substitute activated carbon (AC) adsorb remove H2S from biogas. This study was the first test iron (Fe)-impregnation increase removal using scrubbing column. Two substrates, corn stover (CSB) maple wood (MB), with without Fe-impregnation were evaluated adsorption The capacity...
Recirculating aquaculture systems (RAS) are efficient at solid waste capture and collection but generate a concentrated stream. Anaerobic digestion (AD) could be one potential treatment option for RAS facilities. However, the concentration of organic matter in sludge can significantly affect biogas quality from AD. This study evaluated effect fish (FS) on quality. Three FS treatments consisted different initial total concentrations (1.5%, 2.5%, 3.5%) mixture produced by Atlantic salmon...
Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is a corrosive trace gas present in biogas produced from anaerobic digestion systems that should be removed to reduce engine-generator set maintenance costs. This study was conducted provide more complete understanding of two H2S scrubbers terms efficiency, operational and parameters, capital costs, the effect scrubber management on sustained reduction potential. For this work, H2S, CO2, O2, CH4 concentrations were quantified for existing scrubbing (iron-oxide...
Combustion can concentrate phosphorus (P) from poultry litter into an ash product that is easier to transport for land application. This was the first life cycle assessment (LCA) study investigate efficacy and sustainability of a fluidized bed combustion (FBC) system using heat houses produce electricity, in United States, replace liquid propane gas (LPG) natural (NG) use. The 'Baseline scenario' used results 16-month FBC monitoring study, 'Improved based on increased biomass feed rate...
The influence of electrode surface chemistry over biofilm growth was evaluated for photo-bioelectrocatalytic fuel cell. A consortium photosynthetic bacteria grown onto different electrodes designed with polyethylenimine (PEI) and multiwall carbon nanotubes as hydrophilic hydrophobic modifier, respectively. were loaded 0.08, 0.17, 0.33 μg/cm2 PEI to change the hydrophilicity. However, 0.56, 0.72, 0.83 mg/cm2 used alter hydrophobicity electrodes. bio-interaction a function contact angle...
Co-digestion of dairy manure with waste organic substrates has been shown to increase the methane (CH4) yield farm-scale anaerobic digestion (AD). A gummy vitamin (GVW) product was evaluated as an AD co-digestion substrate using batch testing. The GVW added at four inclusion levels (0%, 5%, 9%, and 23% on a wet mass basis) mixture (DM), food-waste (FW), grease-waste (GW) compared mono-digestion GVW, DM, FW, GW substrates. All treatments significantly increased CH4 by 126–151% (336–374 mL...
Soils collected from paddy fields were kept in a waterlogged condition glass cylinders with and without drainage. After about 2 months of waterlogging soil samples each cm. depths the cylinders, both bright dark sides cylinders. The analysed for iron, manganese phosphorus. At beginning these elements uniformly distributed throughout entire depth, but as result distribution pattern developed. More concentrated on surface illuminated It is assumed that such phenomenon also occurs field. These...
