The uncontrolled discharge of large amounts of food waste (FW) causes severe
environmental pollution in many countries. Within different possible treatment routes …

Food wastes have a high biomethane production potential because of their high organic
matter contents. This review paper presents an overview on the fundamentals of anaerobic …

Anaerobic digestion is an effective waste treatment method both for the pollution control and
energy recovery, such as treating many agricultural and industrial wastes which contain high …

Bio-based production of materials from waste streams is a pivotal aspect in a circular
economy. This study aimed to investigate the influence of inoculum (three different sludge …

It is in the interest of operators of anaerobic digestion plants to maximise methane
production whilst concomitantly reducing the chemical oxygen demand of the digested …

Abstract The Paris Climate Treaty implies the coming of a new era towards carbon-neutral
operation in wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs), and thus energy self-sufficiency from …

Volatile fatty acids (VFAs) are important mid-products in the production of methane, and their
concentrations affect the efficiency of fermentation. However, their effects on methane yield …

The co-digestion of fruit & vegetable waste (FVW) and food waste (FW) was performed at
various organic loading ratios (OLRs) in single-phase and two-phase system, respectively …

Anaerobic digestion (AD) is intrinsically a sequential complex chemical and biochemical
process, and many factors (microbiological, operational, and chemical) can affect its …

Anaerobic digestion of food waste was conducted at high OLR from 3.7 to 12.9 kg-VSm−
3day− 1 for 225days. Periods without organic loading were arranged between the each …
