Bioconversion of restaurant waste into Polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) by recombinant E. coli through anaerobic digestion

Waste Management by Anaerobic Digestion of Kitchen Waste- A Review

Kitchen waste (food waste) collected from hostels and canteen has high calorific and rich nutritive value to microbes due to which efficiency of methane production can be enhanced. Biogas (Green energy) as an energy source is cost effective and generates a high-quality renewable fuel. Biogas contains around 55-65% of methane, 3040% of carbon dioxide. Methane has a calorific value of 10 kWh/Nm 3...

Anaerobic Digestion of Slaughterhouse Waste

Anaerobic Digestion of Vegetable Waste

Fruit and vegetable wastes are produced in large quantities in Iran, and constitute a source of nuisance in municipal landfills. The objective of this study was to optimize the applications of anaerobic digestion for the treatment of municipal organic wastes. We studied the effect of organic loading rates on anaerobic digestion of vegetable wastes. The complete-mix, pilot-scale digester with wo...

Pilot-scale anaerobic co-digestion of municipal wastewater sludge with restaurant grease trap waste.

The maximum feasible loading rate of grease trap waste (GTW) to the municipal wastewater sludge (MWS) was investigated using two 1300 L pilot-scale (1200 L active volume) digesters under mesophilic conditions at a 20 day solids retention time. During the co-digestion, the test reactor received a mixture of GTW and MWS while the control reactor received only MWS. The test digester loading was in...
