This study evaluated the effect of zero-valent iron nanoparticles (NZVI) on the anaerobic digestion of swine manure. A wide range of doses of NZVI was evaluated (5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 50, and 100 mgFe°/gVS). The maximum methane yield of 0.4506 L/gVSremoved was obtained with the concentration of 10 mgFe°/gVS representing an increase of 58.99% than the control system with 0.2834 L/gVSremoved, indicating that Fe° improves the methanogenic activity. However, when using doses greater than 20 mgFe°/gVS, there were decreases in the methane yield of 34.4-47.98%. Also, to observe the effect of NZVI in anaerobes was evaluated the activity in the electron transport system (ETS), where the control reactor showed an activity of 31.91 μg INTred/gVS•h, while in reactors with NZVI showed values of 39.48 μg INTred/gVS•h (10 Fe°mg/gVS), observing a stimulation of Fe° in microbial activity. However, the dose of 100 mgFe°/gVS showed the greatest decrease in methane yield (0.1474 L/gVSremoved) and a reduction in ETS was observed by 8.5% compared to the control. The effect on the composition of the volatile fatty acids was observed, where the control system obtained a maximum production of acetic acid of 639 mg/L, which was exceeded with the dose of 10 mg Fe°/gVS by 215% and a decrease of 41.15% with the inhibitory concentration of 100 mg Fe°/gVS. As a result, higher doses of NZVI affect the metabolic activity of anaerobes as well as the acetoclastic pathway causing a decrease in the methane production.

This study investigated the performance and phase-specific characteristics of mesophilic co-digestion of food waste (FW) with rice straw (RS) at different RS proportions (40 %, 60 %, and 80 %), as well as mono-digestion of RS. The system achieved optimal performance at 40 % RS content, with a methane yield of 383.8 mL/g-VS and cellulose removal efficiency exceeding 75 %.

A study was conducted to assess growth performance, methane (CH) emissions, and feeding behavior of feedlot steers consuming backgrounding and finishing diets with an essential oil blend (EO), monensin (Mon), and their combination (EO + Mon). The study was structured as a 2 × 2 factorial, with two feed additive treatments (Control, EO) and two monensin treatments (no Monensin, Monensin). One hundred Angus × steers were evenly distributed across each treatment into four pens, and each dietary phase consisted of four, 28-d periods.

Developing efficient catalysts to enhance photoreduction carbon dioxide (CO) into hydrocarbon fuels is a great challenge. As metallic material, molybdenum dioxide (MoO) has very high conductivity and charge density, which make it a promising candidate as photocatalyst. However, its photocatalytic activity is limited by the serious charge recombination.
