Reviewing the anaerobic digestion of food waste for biogas production

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors reviewed the characteristics of food waste, the principles of anaerobic digestion, the process parameters, and two approaches (pretreatment and co-digestion) for enhancing AD in food waste.
Journal ArticleDOI

The role of additives on anaerobic digestion: a review

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a comprehensive review about recent advances in the utilization of inorganic and biological additives for anaerobic digestion, including macro- and micro- nutrients supplements, ashes from waste incineration, compounds able to mitigate ammonia inhibition, and substances with high biomass immobilization capacity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Food Waste to Energy: An Overview of Sustainable Approaches for Food Waste Management and Nutrient Recycling

TL;DR: The different aspects of anaerobic biodegrading approaches for food waste, effects of cosubstrates, effect of environmental factors, contribution of microbial population, and available computational resources for food Waste management researches are explored.

Thermal hydrolysis for sewage treatment: A critical review.

W P F Barber
- 01 Nov 2016 - 
TL;DR: It appears that understanding of thermodynamic and rheological properties of sludge is key to optimizing the process, however these parameters are largely overlooked by the literature.
Journal ArticleDOI

Use of biochars in anaerobic digestion

TL;DR: Kinetic and microbiota analyses revealed that pyrochar can prevent mild ammonia inhibition, and future research should pay attention to biochar-microbe interactions and the effects in continuously-fed anaerobic digesters.

Inhibition of anaerobic digestion process: A review

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.

Anaerobic digestion of swine manure: Inhibition by ammonia

TL;DR: A stable anaerobic degradation of swine manure with ammonia concentration of 6 g-N/litre was obtained in continuously stirred tank reactors with a hydraulic retention time of 15 days, at four different temperatures as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI

The roles of acetotrophic and hydrogenotrophic methanogens during anaerobic conversion of biomass to methane: a review

TL;DR: The aim of this paper is primarily to review the recent literature about the occurrence of both acetotrophic and hydrogenotrophic methanogens during anaerobic conversion of particulate biomass to methane (not wastewater treatment), while this review does not cover the activity of the acetate oxidizing bacteria.
Journal ArticleDOI

Thermophilic anaerobic digestion of livestock waste: the effect of ammonia

TL;DR: A stable digestion of cattle manure could be maintained with ammonia concentrations up to 6 g N/l after 6 months of operation, however, the methane yield was reduced and the concentration of volatile fatty acids increased from 1 to 3 g/l as acetate, compared to controls with an ammonia concentration of 2.5 gN/l.
