A high-value biohythane production: Feedstocks, reactor configurations, pathways, challenges, technoeconomics and applications.

In recent years, the demand for high-quality biofuels from renewable sources has become an aspirational goal to offer a clean environment by alternating the depleting fossil fuels to meet future energy needs. In this aspect, biohythane production from wastes has received extensive research interest since it contains superior fuel characteristics than the promising conventional biofuel i.e.

Emission of volatile organic compounds from composting: A review on assessment, treatment and perspectives.

Composting is a sustainable technology in treating organic pollutants and controlling odorous gas emissions from different organic solid waste, by reducing its size and volume. When the process parameters are handled efficiently, composting process is greatly effective than other waste treatment options in terms of operational costs, income generation out of compost, reduced air and water pollution. The successful composting operation does not count only the final product, but also the odorous gas emissions being released off to the atmosphere.

Characterization of bacterial community structure during in-vessel composting of agricultural waste by 16S rRNA sequencing.

Bacterial diversity during in-vessel (rotary drum) composting of agricultural waste was characterized using NGS-based 16S rRNA sequencing for microbial identification. The activity of the bacteria was observed to vary with the composting materials and degradation pattern. Taxonomic hits distribution at domain level revealed that 89.

Effect of different livestock dungs as inoculum on food waste anaerobic digestion and its kinetics.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of different livestock inoculums on the anaerobic digestion of food waste (FW). Five different livestock dungs i.e.
