Anaerobic digestion of fat, oil, and grease (FOG) under combined additives: Enhanced digestibility, biogas production, and microbiome

Abstract Addition of a single additive (such as biochar or calcium) in anaerobic digestion has been studied previously. However, the effect of combined additives in anaerobic digestion (including fat, oil, and grease) has not been well-investigated yet. In this study, the biogas/biomethane, lipid degradation,…

Can Butyrate Help Hispanic Children With Ulcerative Colitis?
