Stimulating volatile fatty acid production in anaerobic digestion: Bacterial co...
Hoffmann, Nicolás; Ciudad, Gustavo; Fincheira, Paola; Rodriguez, Rodrigo; Vergara, Christian; Tortella, Gonzalo; Durán, Paola; Braga, Cátia Sofia NevesThe production of volatile fatty acids (VFA) through anaerobic digestion has gained significant attention due to its potential benefits for renewable energy, biofuel production, waste valorization, bioproduct synthesis, and wastewater treatment. Nano-zero valent iron (nZVI) and magnetite nanoparticles (FeO-NPs) have been identified as effective nanomaterials for enhancing methane production, although their appl...
Enhancing anaerobic digestion by simultaneous application of a combined treatme...
Hoffmann, Nicolas; Tortella, Gonzalo; Vergara, Christian; Martins, Gilberto; Rubilar, OlgaAnaerobic digestion (AD) is one of the most energy-efficient technologies for treating biodegradable waste since biogas can be generated as a by-product. AD is a biochemical process mediated by a consortium of microorganisms without oxygen in four stages: hydrolysis, acidification, acetogenic and methanogenesis. The addition of iron-based nanoparticles (Fe-NPs) aims to boost the AD process to enhance the biogas...
