Many evidences have been proposed that supplement of conductive materials (CMs) in AD can efficiently enhance the cumulative methane production (CMP) and specific methane production (SMP). However, no significant difference in CMP and SPM with CMs added were also reported in many works. Optimization of the addition of CMs is vital. Is the I/S ratio also play a vital role in the enhancement of DIET?
Hi Xiaobo Guo,
An interesting topic. It it would be better if the redox potential of each phase of the anerobic process can be measured, and ensured during the operation. To be more concrete, in anerobic digestion of waste materials, there are anerobic bacteria that contain tetrapyrole compoun containing Ni, Co, Fe etc. and and enzymes that require these type of minereals. There is also report that the concentration of these vital minerals in the environment, can direct and dictate key anaerobic bacteria probably by changing the flow of electrons (or redox potential) that influence the process performance. This maight also happen in animals digestion system. Good luck.
