Kinetics of Anaerobic Digestion of Unripe Plantain Peels

Modeling of Anaerobic Digestion of Complex Substrates

A structured mathematical model of anaerobic conversion of complex organic materials in non-ideally cyclic-batch reactors for biogas production has been developed. The  model is based on multiple-reaction stoichiometry (enzymatic hydrolysis, acidogenesis, acetogenesis and methanogenesis), microbial growth kinetics, conventional material balances in the liquid and gas phases for a cyclic-bat...

Kinetics of inactivation of indicator pathogens during thermophilic anaerobic digestion.

Thermophilic anaerobic sludge digestion is a promising process to divert waste to beneficial use, but an important question is the required temperature and holding time to achieve a given degree of pathogen inactivation. In this study, the kinetics of inactivation of Ascaris suum and vaccine strain poliovirus type 1 (PVS-1), selected as indicators for helminth ova and enteric viruses respective...

Digestion kinetics of carbohydrate fractions of citrus by-products

The present experiment was carried out to determine the digestion kinetics of carbohydrate fractions of citrus by-products. Grapefruit pulp (GP), lemon pulp (LE), lime pulp (LI) and orange pulp (OP) were the test feed. Digestion kinetic of whole citrus by-products and neutral detergent fiber (NDF) fraction and acid detergent fiber (ADF) fractions of citrus by-products were measured using the <e...

biokinetics of anaerobic digestion of municipal waste

a study of the biokinetics of anaerobic digestion of municipal solid waste (msw) was carried out using anaerobic batch digester. from the experimental results, the kinetic parameters (coefficient values) of the digestion of the msw were determined. the maximum rate of substrate utilization (k), saturation constant (ks), endogenous decay coefficient (kd), biomass yield or microbial growth yield ...
