Dimensionality reduction of high-solid anaerobic digestion flow pattern: Flow velocity distribution model and control strategy.

High-solid anaerobic digestion (HSAD) can be used to treat organic waste. However, the operating stability is limited by the hydraulic conditions; therefore, regulation is essential. The flow field contains a large amount of information that cannot be directly regulated.

Microbial response behavior to powdered activated carbon in high-solids anaerobic digestion of kitchen waste: Metabolism and functional prediction analysis.

Anaerobic digestion (AD) can not only treat organic waste, but also recycle energy. However, high-solids AD of kitchen waste usually failed due to excessive acidification. In this study, the effect of activated carbon (AC) on kitchen waste AD performance was investigated under high-solids conditions (total solids contents = 15%).

Alleviating acid inhibition via bentonite supplementation during acidulated swine manure anaerobic digestion: Performance enhancement and microbial mechanism analysis.

Swine manure is usually transmitted by the "collection-storage-transport" mode of the biogas project. However, this particular application pattern results in high volatile fatty acids (VFAs) concentration due to the long transition time in the "collection-storage-transport" process. In this work, acidulated swine manure anaerobic digestion (AD) with bentonite supplementation was firstly investigated with an expectation of acid alleviation, performance enhancement and microbial mechanism.

Enhanced anaerobic digestion of kitchen waste at different solids content by alkali pretreatment and bentonite addition: Methane production enhancement and microbial mechanism.

High solid anaerobic digestion (AD) has been considered as a promising and sustainable technology for treating kitchen waste. To enhance AD of kitchen waste, alkali pretreatment and bentonite addition treatment (AP/Be) was performed on kitchen waste, and microbial community was investigated at different total solids (TS) content (10%, 13%, 19%, 22% and 25%). The results indicated that after AP/Be treatment, methane yield was as high as 198 mL CH/g volatile solid (VS), which increased by 236% as the control.
