Anaerobic Fermentation of Beef Cattle Manure and Crop Residues. Annual Report, 1980

摘要

This report summarizes research on the feasibility of fermenting manure-crop residue mixtures to methane, and on factors affecting the rate and extent of methane production. Experiments were conducted to evaluate effects of temperature, pH, substrate concentration, and alkaline pretreatment on the rate and extent of hydrolysis of manure-straw mixtures. The effects of mixing duration and vacuum fermenters on methane production rates from anaerobically fermented beef cattle wastes were also determined. (ERA citation 06:026968)
