Recent studies have suggested that addition of electrically conductive biochar particles is an effective strategy to improve the methanogenic conversion waste organic substrates, by promoting syntrophic associations between acetogenic and organisms based on interspecies electron transfer processes. However, underlying fundamentals process are still largely speculative and, therefore, a priori identification, screening, even design suitable materials for given biotechnological not yet...
In order to enhance anaerobic biodegradability of food waste (FW), thermal pretreatment was applied. The effectiveness in terms extent and process rate improvement investigated. To this aim, Biomethane Potential tests were carried out under mesophilic thermophilic conditions. IWA digestion Model 1 (ADM1), a powerful tool for modeling the (AD) different substrates, implemented predict methane production. Disintegration constant (k_dis) maximum acetate uptake (km_ac) identified as most...
Abstract Chemical and thermal pretreatments of sewage sludge have proven to be effective improve anaerobic digestion process by increasing methane production stabilization. In order this technology towards reduction combined with energy recovery, lab‐scale experimentation was carried out assess the efficiency a 2‐steps acid‐alkali innovative pretreatment enhance process. Lab‐scale results suggested adopt some measures intended ensure better performances imbalance risks prevention. The...
