TL;DR: In this paper, the composition and variation in three different biogas production plants were studied to provide information pertaining to its potential use as biofuel, and the results showed that the biogases in the different production plants varied, especially in trace compound content.

TL;DR: Anaerobic co-digestion of grass silage, sugar beet tops and oat straw with cow manure was evaluated in semi-continuously fed laboratory continuously stirred tank reactors (CSTRs).
Abstract: Anaerobic co-digestion of grass silage, sugar beet tops and oat straw with cow manure was evaluated in semi-continuously fed laboratory continuously stirred tank reactors (CSTRs). Co-digestion of manure and crops was shown to be feasible with feedstock volatile solids (VS) containing up to 40% of crops. The highest specific methane yields of 268, 229 and 213 l CH4 kg−1 VSadded in co-digestion of cow manure with grass, sugar beet tops and straw, respectively, were obtained with 30% of crop in the feedstock, corresponding to 85–105% of the methane potential in the substrates as determined by batch assays. Including 30% of crop in the feedstock increased methane production per digester volume by 16–65% above that obtained from digestion of manure alone. Increasing the proportion of crops further to 40% decreased the specific methane yields by 4–12%, while doubling the loading rate from 2 to 4 kg VS m−3 day−1 decreased the specific methane yields by 16–26%. The post-methanation potential of the digestates corresponded to 0.9–2.5 m3 CH4 t−1 wet weight of digestate and up to 12–31% of total methane production in northern climatic conditions, being highest after co-digestion of manure with straw.

TL;DR: Although leachate toxicity significantly correlated with COD and ammonia in untreated and treated leachates, in some stripping and ozonation experiments toxicity was increased in spite of CODand ammonia removals, indicating poor biological treatability.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the trace compounds affecting energy utilisation in biogas that come from different production sites and found that the concentrations and the variations of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) can be high in different landfills, especially, with compounds originating from the biological degradation process (like aromatics and terpenes) as seasonal variations affect biological degradation.

TL;DR: This review provides a detailed summary of the research conducted on the inhibition of anaerobic processes and indicates that co-digestion with other waste, adaptation of microorganisms to inhibitory substances, and incorporation of methods to remove or counteract toxicants before an aerobic digestion can significantly improve the waste treatment efficiency.
4,123 citations
TL;DR: Today, the use of membrane technologies, more especially reverse osmosis (RO), either as a main step in a landfill leachate treatment chain or as single post-treatment step has shown to be an indispensable means of achieving purification.
2,178 citations
TL;DR: The main conclusions arrived at from the overall assessment of the literature are that more work needs to be done on degradation kinetics and reactor modeling of the combined process, and also dynamics of the initial attack on primary contaminants and intermediate species generation.
2,046 citations
TL;DR: The technology of anaerobic digestion of organic solid wastes is, in many aspects, mature and its relation to composting technology is examined in this review.
