Abstract
Abstract — Different methods and processes of optimizing the yield of biogas are currently being explored globally. In this study, the use of Iron oxide nanoparticles as an additive to improve the biogas production was carried out. Iron oxide nanoparticles (ION) were synthesized by hydrothermal method. And subsequently, the biomethane potential test was conducted in a 500 mL batch reactor set at mesophilic conditions for a retention time of 15 days. A combination ratio of 100ppm ION to 1.6 g/VS winery solid waste (WSW) was used to run duplicate experiments. Results showed a cumulative biogas yield of 17,17mL /g.VS added for WSW alone (W1) compared to 56,93mL/g.VS added for the combination of WSW and ION (W2) which represents a biogas increase of 232%. In conclusion, ION has chemical properties that boost biogas production irrespective of the type of substrate used. The finding is of interest to the biogas industry along with waste management practitioners. studies made on nanomaterials revealed either negative or positive results with some very low biogas yields in some cases. Otero-Gonzales et al. [9] in 2014 investigated the effect of copper II oxide (CuO) nanoparticles over a long-time period and demonstrated the inhibitive effect of
期刊介绍:
Střed | Centre is a peer-reviewed journal focused on studies of the society, culture and politics in Central Europe of the 19th and 20th centuries. The journal is ecumenical in its selected methodological and disciplinary approaches and strives to give space to scholars working on the broad field of social sciences and humanities, who are involved in studies of the given period and geographical area. Střed /Centre aims at interconnecting the extensive and simultaneously rather fragmented field of research dedicated to Central Europe from the viewpoint of various disciplines. Therefore it publishes original studies from individual fields, particularly studies with the ambition to step over the border defined by disciplinary divisions and to connect more disciplines in a productive dialogue. As a peer-rewieved journal Střed | Centre was founded on January 1, 2009 and is issued twice a year. It is oriented on monothematic issues presenting inter-related scientific essays. Topics of individual issues are published on the journal web page well in advance. Střed | Centre comes out twice a year, in April and October, and is included in the list of peer-reviewed non-impact periodicals issued in the Czech Republic.
