The changing parameters, as the biogas production rate, the methane production rate, the cumulative biogas amount, the cumulative methane amount, the biogas composition, pH etc. in high temperature anaerobic fermentation of chicken manure and stalks were analyzed by experiments with different mass ratios of chicken manure or livestock manure and stalks with a high C/N ratio. The methane production mechanism of high temperature anaerobic digestion of chicken manure and stalks was discussed in detail. It showed that not only the biogas production rates but also the methane production rates of R1–R7 demonstrated the trend of initial increase and then decrease after 50 d of high temperature anaerobic digestion. Besides, the gas production of R1 with pure chicken manure stopped on the 30th d of the reaction. The gas production of other groups R2–R7 also stopped on the corresponding 34th, 36th, 36th, 37th, 37th, and 37th day, respectively. At the end of the reaction, the cumulative biogas amounts and the cumulative methane amounts of R1–R7 were 411.58 and 269.54, 459.91 and 314.41, 425.32 and 294.11, 401.85 and 272.54, 382.63 and 257.07, 363.04 and 218.16, and 257.15 and 160.10 N ml/(g VS). The biogas slurry pH of R1–R7 all demonstrated a trend of initial decrease and then increase, e. g., pH of R2 reached the minimum of 5.94 on the 5th day. pH values of other groups were between 6.01 and 6.39. After the addition of 4 g of sodium bicarbonate on the 7th day, biogas slurry pH of R1–R7 all increased. pH was maintained between 7.16 and 7.44 until the end of the reaction.

In this paper, cow manure fluid was used as inoculums to investigate biogas production rate from anaerobic digestion of cassava peel at mesophilic temperature (280C). The anaerobic experiment was conducted using six batch digesters (D1, D2, D3, D4, D5 and D6) each of 20L capacity for 40-day hydraulic retention. Each digester, was loaded with 5kg of cassava peel (CP) and 0%, 10%, 20%, 30%, 40% and 50% of inoculum to CP. Hashimoto model was used to obtain the digestion kinetic parameters. The results of the study showed that inoculums influenced the rate of biogas production, showing variations in biogas production, correlation coefficient (R2) and in first-order decay constant (k). The average cumulative biogas production was in the range of ~2358 to 4010ml/kgVS for 10% to 50% inoculum. The R2 and k for D1 was 0.959 and 0.359 D1 (without inoculum), 0.990 and 0.371 for D2 (10% inoculum) and 0.991 and 0.371 for D3 (20% inoculum), 0.951 and 0.356 for D4 (30% inoculum), 0.992 and 0.372 for D5 (40% inoculum), and 0.990 and 0.371 was obtained for D6 loaded with 50% inoculum. Despite variation in biogas yields from different inoculums, biogas production obtained from anaerobic digesters loaded with inoculums were still lower compared with that without inoculum.

Kitchen derived biowaste was fermented in a 40 1 digester at 55°C with a loading of 5.2 g VS/l.d and an average residence time of 42 days. This resulted in an average biogas production rate of 3.6 1/l.d. Different types of paper were investigated for their anaerobic biodegradability; the conversion on VS-basis ranged from 17 % for a regular newsprint to 100 % for a bleached cellulose. A reactor, fed with biowaste supplemented with paper, was operated at 55°C and a loading rate of 12.6 g VS/l.d; this corresponded with an average residence time of 20 days and an average biogas production rate of 7.14 1/l.d. The addition of paper lowered the NH4+−N level from 3.5 g/kg wet material to 1.65 g/kg wet material. Compared to MSW-digest, the biowaste-digest was found to be a NPK rich organic fertilizer with low levels of heavy metals. The moist digest was supplemented with 40 % peat(w/w) to attain 25 % dry matter and subsequently allowed to compost aerobically during 7 days at ambient temperature to a mature endproduct. Horticultural plants were grown on various endproduct/peat mixtures. The latter exhibited no phytotoxicity and performed in some cases better than optimal reference substrates. The blending of the wet digest with peat thus allows to obtain in a very short process time an excellent plant substrate. Furthermore, peat also demonstrated its quality as odour absorbant. It instantaneously reduced the odour units of digested biowaste by a factor of 50. These tests indicate that biowastes can be elegantly transformed into plant growth substrates of high quality by supplementing them with paper waste in the anaerobic digestion phase and by peat in the subsequent aerobic maturation phase.
