Article Synopsis
- Two types of organic fractions from municipal solid waste were tested in a new treatment process involving thermal hydrolysis and anaerobic digestion, showing similar effectiveness in enhancing biodegradability.
- The thermal pretreatment significantly boosted biogas production, allowing the process to be energetically beneficial and reducing waste volume by 59-61%, outperforming traditional methods.
- Additionally, the use of purple phototrophic bacteria in the treatment showed high efficiency in organic matter removal and the potential to produce valuable byproducts like polyhydroxyalkanoates and single-cell protein.
