Vast amounts of animal manure produced from concentrated animal feeding operations have the potential to be converted into economic gain if the proper processing technology is employed. Anaerobic digestion (AD) is an effective way to convert organic wastes including animal manure into profitable by-products as well as to reduce the pollution of water, air, and soil caused by these wastes. Two-phase AD of manure offers several advantages over conventional one-phase AD. Solids reduction through hydrolysis/acidification might be very significant for animal manure which contains high amounts of solids. However, to date, studies of two-phase AD of animal manure have been limited to screened manure. Therefore, this study investigated the two-phase AD of dairy manure with particular emphasis on the effects of retention time and organic loading rate (OLR) on anaerobic acidification and biogasification of unscreened dairy manure. The results indicated that pre-acidification of dairy manure in daily-fed continuously-mixed reactors with no recycle led to significantly high reduction efficiencies of volatile solids and, thus, biogas production in the subsequent methanogenic reactor especially at OLRs of 4-10 g VS dm(-3) day(-1). However, the extent of the stimulation in the biogas production relative to corresponding feed samples was quite variable (between 6.9 and 64.7%) for different solids retention times and OLR combinations. A relatively lower performance was observed for the high OLRs (20-30 g VS dm(-3) day(-1)) used which was attributed to the possible wash-out of the acidifiers at the considerably low retention times (1.25-4 days) used.

Effect of initial COD concentration, nutrient addition, temperature and microbial acclimation on anaerobic treatability of broiler and cattle manure Gungor-Demirci, G; Demirer, Göksel Niyazi (2004-06-01) In this study, anaerobic treatability and biogas generation potential of broiler and cattle manure were investigated. For this purpose, seven sets of anaerobic batch reactor experiments were performed using broiler and cattle manure and their mixtures in five different ratios (100% broiler; 75% broiler, 25% cattle; 50% broiler, 50% cattle; 25% broiler, 75% cattle; 100% cattle). These manure mixtures had two different initial chemical oxygen demand (COD) (12,000 and 53,500 mg/l) concentrations. The effects o...
IMPACT OF PROCESS CONDITIONS ON METHANE PRODUCTION IN ANAEROBIC DIGESTION AND MICROBIAL ELECTROLYSIS CELL (AD-MEC) INTEGRATED SYSTEMS Şanlı, Mert; Yılmazel Tokel, Yasemin Dilşad; Department of Environmental Engineering (2022-11-28) Anaerobic digestion (AD) is a common method used for treatment of complex wastes with additional benefit of biogas production. Yet, the process has several limitations such as slow kinetics, long start-up periods and low methane (CH4) production yield. With the integration of microbial electrolysis cells (MECs) into AD, it is anticipated that these limitations of AD will be reduced. The reasons of such improvements in the AD-MEC integrated systems may stem from the enhanced electron transfer in microbial co...
ENHANCEMENT OF BIOMETHANE PRODUCTION FROM CATTLE MANURE VIA GRANULAR ACTIVATED CARBON AMENDMENT Odabaş, Yasin; Yılmazel Tokel, Yasemin Dilşad; Department of Environmental Engineering (2022-11) In this study we investigated the impact of granular activated carbon (GAC) application on anaerobic digestion (AD) process of cattle manure. Firstly, the effect of the presence of basal medium on cattle manure digestion was evaluated. It was observed that basal medium addition decreased methane yield and increased lag time. Then, for the enhanced cattle manure digestion, a metal-based conductive material, hematite (Fe2O3), and carbon-based material, GAC, were amended into the reactors. From the comparison ...
Effects of pretreatment methods on solubilization of beet-pulp and bio-hydrogen production yield Ozkan, Leyla; Bayramoğlu, Tuba Hande; DEMİRER, GÖKSEL NİYAZİ (2011-01-01) Sugar processing wastewater and beet-pulp are two major waste streams of sugar-beet processing plants. Contrary to wastewater, beet-pulp is generally used as animal feed in cattle-raising industry. However, it can serve as a substrate for bio-hydrogen production which corresponds to a higher valorization of beet-pulp. Moreover, pretreatment of lignocellulosic materials like beet-pulp is needed in order to improve overall energy efficiency and enable economic feasibility of bio-hydrogen production. Therefore...
Effect of high hydrostatic pressure on physicochemical and biochemical properties of milk Altuner, Ergin Murat; Alpas, Hami; Erdem, Yasar Kemal; Bozoglu, Faruk (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2005-10-6) Interest in high hydrostatic pressure (HHP) applications on milk and dairy products has recently increased as HHP offers a new technology for food preservation to the food industry. Although HHP-induced microbial destruction, rennet or acid coagulation of milk and increase in cheese yield has been reported, the actual effect of HHP application on milk constituents still remains to be unexplained. Therefore, we have analyzed the effect of HHP on physicochemical and biochemical properties such as turbidity, p...
