Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess how different concentrations of industrial landfill leachate mixed with crude residual glycerin affect methane production and chemical oxygen demand (COD) removal in anaerobic co-digestion.
- The experiment was conducted in a controlled environment, analyzing varying ratios of glycerin and leachate, and utilized the modified Gompertz model to interpret methane production kinetics.
- Results showed that the optimal mixture of 95.13% leachate and 4.87% glycerin yielded high methanogenic potential, achieving a 92% COD removal rate and significant methane production, highlighting the effectiveness of co-digestion for enhancing organic waste treatment.
