Biodegradation with heterogeneous catalyst in the production of biogas from wheat wastes, rice husk and spent grains

Biodegradation with heterogeneous catalysts were successfully carried out in the production of biogas from wheat wastes, rice husk and spent grains. Five digesters were charged with spent grains/clay soil, spent grains/lime stone, rice husk/clay soil, rice husk/lime stone and wheat wastes/potash, respectively. Clay soil, limestone and potash were used as catalysts for optimizing and to speed up the chemical reactions in...
