“…A lack of macro-and micro nutrients can limit microbial growth in biogas reactors [25] and can therefore reduce the maximum organic loading possible. A loading limitation is often reflected in increased levels of VFA, primarily acetate and propionate.…”

“…These samples were then cooled to room temperature and weighed again. 149 The residue remaining on the filter after ignition represents the fixed, or nonvolatile fraction, since the volatile portion has been destroyed. Equation 33 was used to determine the effluent VSS.…”

“…Although anaerobic bacteria grow at a relatively slow rate, they do require nutrients (nitrogen, phosphorous, sulfur, potassium, sodium, and others) and trace elements (iron, nickel, copper, zinc, and other metals) in small quantities for efficient growth and methanogenesis [106,142,148,149]. Nitrogen and sulfiir are incorporated into cellular material, such as proteins, and phosphorous plays an important role in the high energy phosphorous bonds in which chemical energy is stored as ATP and other energy-storage molecules.…”

This manuscript has been reproduced from the microfilm master. UMI fihns the text directly from the original or copy submitted. Thus, some thesis and dissertation copies are in typewriter face, while others may be fi-om any type of computer printer.The quality of this reproduction is dependent upon the quality of the copy submitted. Broken or indistinct print, colored or poor quality illustrations and photographs, print bleedthrough, substandard margins, and improper alignment can adversely affect reproduction.In the unlikely event that the author did not send UMI a complete manuscript and there are missing pages, these will be noted. Also, if unauthorized copyright material had to be removed, a note will indicate the deletion.Oversize materials (e.g., maps, drawings, charts) are reproduced by sectioning the original, beginning at the upper left-hand corner and continuing from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps. Each original is also photographed in one exposure and is included in reduced form at the back of the book.Photographs included in the original manuscript have been reproduced xerographically in this copy. Higher quality 6" x 9" black and white photographic prints are available for any photographs or illustrations appearing in this copy for an additional charge. Contact UMI directly to order. Table 2.

“…demonstrated that deprivation of elements, such as cobalt or nickel, resulted in impaired substrate conversion to methane, VFA accumulation, and digester acidification and failure (Takashima et al 1990;Osuna et al 2002;Zandvoort et al 2002a;Zandvoort et al 2002b). In fact, in some cases digester performance was recovered simply by supplementing TE and thus stimulating methanogenic activity.…”

“…The third topic is the focus of this guide. Excellent, and comprehensive, reviews have been published on the other two topics to summarise the progress made on the subject (Takashima et al 1990;Zandvoort et al 2006;Demirel & Scherer 2011;Schattauer et al 2011;Thanh et al 2016). Studies confirming the beneficial effect of TE supplementation on biogas production were obtained from batch test and laboratory-scale reactors.…”
