Anaerobic decomposition occurs through electron acceptors, such as NO 3-, SO 42-, CO 2 and Fe (III) rather than molecular oxygen (Liesack et al., 2000). In the final stage of the carbon turnover in ...

Additionally, compacted or clay-heavy soils reduce airflow, favoring slower anaerobic processes over rapid aerobic decomposition. Simply put, the makeup of the soil shapes how quickly organic ...

Biogas — produced by the anaerobic decomposition of organic matter such as agricultural waste, municipal waste and food waste – is an important renewable source of energy that burns without smoke.

Gasper said when oxygen is available, like during composting, carbon dioxide is released instead of methane. Both molecules are greenhouse gases, but methane is four times more powerful than carbon ...

Planning permission has been submitted for the construction of an anaerobic digestion plant near Carrick-on-Suir in Waterford. The proposed plant would be constructed on a 7.7 hectare (19 acre) site, ...

In this interview, Jens Van der Heyden and Christian Okenyei from Veolia Water Technologies & Solutions talk to AZoMaterials about the importance of TOC monitoring and how advancements in TOC ...

Composting is a natural process that involves the decomposition of organic materials, such as food scraps, yard waste, and ...

Inubushi, K., Hori, K., Matsumoto, S., & Wada, H. (1997). Anaerobic Decomposition of Organic Carbon in Paddy Soil in Relation to Methane Emission to the Atmosphere. Water Science and Technology, 36, ...

ASD comprises three basic steps: incorporating a carbon source that is easily digestible by microbes in the soil (traditionally, rice bran has been used), further encouraging fermentation by covering ...

Composting inhibits the anaerobic decomposition of organic waste, thereby cutting down methane emissions. For Ghana, this transition represents an improvement in waste management and a significant ...
