Carbon-based conductive materials facilitated anaerobic co-digestion of agro waste under thermophilic conditions

Satya Brat Tiwari et al.

Summary: The study showed that adding granular activated carbon and granular biochar can significantly improve the thermophilic anaerobic co-digestion of wheat husk and sewage sludge, increasing biogas yield and reducing lag phase. However, biochar showed more stable effects and further research is needed for innovative engineering solutions for the application of these conductive materials.

Carbon-based conductive materials accelerated methane production in anaerobic digestion of waste fat, oil and grease

Xia He et al.

Summary: The addition of carbon-based conductive materials positively influences the co-digestion of fat, oil, and grease (FOG) and waste activated sludge (WAS), leading to increased methane production, organic matter removal, and COD conversion efficiency. Carbon cloth showed the highest total amount of bacteria/archaea, potentially due to the faster acetate conversion facilitated by DIET-mediated SAO reaction.

Granular activated carbon supplementation enhances anaerobic digestion of lipid-rich wastewaters

Lea Chua Tan et al.

Summary: Experimental results and model fitting showed that addition of granular activated carbon (GAC) supports faster methane production, decreases lag-phase, and accelerates consumption of volatile fatty acid and long-chain fatty acid. However, there is a decrease in maximum methane production when GAC concentration exceeds 8.0 g/L.

Core-shell ZVI@carbon composites reduce phosphate inhibition of ZVI dissolution and enhance methane production in an anaerobic sewage treatment

Hui Xu et al.

Summary: This study demonstrates the feasibility of achieving energy recovery from phosphate-containing domestic sewage using an efficient anaerobic reactor with ZVI addition. The inhibitory effects of phosphate on ZVI dissolution are weakened by the use of ZVI@carbon composites, which promote methane production. The interaction between Fe2+ ions and phosphate concentrations and the surface passivation layer formation on ZVI are key factors influencing the effectiveness of ZVI in the presence of phosphate.
