TL;DR: Anaerobic digestion of high solids chicken manure was conducted in a batch screening assay as discussed by the authors, where different mixtures of the fresh manure and anaerobically digested sludge or pit manure, resulting in different total solids levels, were incubated at 35°C.

TL;DR: In this article, three sets of serum bottles were used for batch anaerobic degradation of lactate and acetate, and they were fed 1g 1−1 COD and 15.6 mM (1.5 g 1− 1) SO42− at the start of the experiment.

TL;DR: In this article, the role of heavy metals in anaerobic digestion is reviewed and the effect of heavy metal concentrations on anaerobes is discussed. But, the authors do not consider the role that heavy metals play in the development of anaerobia.

TL;DR: A nitrifying sequencing batch reactor, operated under alternating anoxic/aerobic conditions achieved twice the nitrification rates of its strictly aerobic counterpart, which is of importance to the design engineers, as the reactors are typically designed based on nitrifiers' growth rate determined in strictly aerobic conditions.

TL;DR: High rate carbon and nitrogen removal through A/B stage process are examined in its main operational parameters and its application towards energy neutrality suggesting novel MBBR application to further reduce energy requirements and plant footprint.
