Methane, a greenhouse gas, is produced from the activity of methanogenic archaea under anaerobic conditions. Methanogenic activity is dominant in freshwater sediments; however, in estuarine sediments and brackish wetlands, the production and emission of methane has also been determined. Studies on methane emissions in tropical brackish environments have been carried...
This thesis aimed to evaluate methane production in batch reactors and a laboratory-scale hybrid UASB reactor during physically pretreated slaughterhouse wastewater treatment. Therefore, the experiment was carried out in three stages: In the first stage, the slaughterhouse wastewater (SWW) underwent a thermal pretreatment (120 °C, 1 atm, 60 min), in...
Las emisiones de gases que contribuyen al calentamiento global son un grave problema para la humanidad y los ecosistemas debido a sus efectos sobre y industrial han dado lugar a la dióxido de carbono (CO₂), metano (CH₄) y oxido nitroso (N₂O), que contribuyen al efecto de invernadero. El CH₄ tiene...
