Biogas Production from Co-Digestion of Poultry Manure and Orange Peel through Thermo-Chemical Pre-Treatments in Batch Fermentation

Biogas Production from Co-Digestion of Poultry Manure and Orange Peel through Thermo-Chemical Pre-Treatments in Batch Fermentation



Misgana Lami



The increasing demand for the treatment of organic wastes from
municipalities, faming and industrial activities is a great opportunity
to convert organic wastes into energy in a form of biogas. With the aim
of producing biogas from co- digestion of Poultry Manure (PM) and Orange
Peel (OP) a series of experiments were carried out for 21 consecutive
days. Five different proportions of PM and OP (100%PM, 75%MP+25%OP,
50%PM+50%OP, 25%PM+75%OP, 100%OP) were used to obtain the suitable mix
ratio (which gives maximum biogas production). Having determined the
optimum mix ratio, chemical pre-treatment with CaO (0.5 g, 1.5 g and 2.5
g) and temperature pre-treatment at 60 and 80 oC were applied to
compare the results with those obtained with non-pre-treated waste.
Cumulative biogas production obtained from 75%PM+25%OP was 768ml,
whereas 218.33ml was measured from 100%OP. Increasing the proportion of
OP above 25% decreased the amount of gas production, volatile solids
(VS) and total solids (TS) reduction. This indicated that addition of PM
to mix ratios improves biogas production.Thus 75%PM+25%OPmix was found
to be the optimum mix ratio which resulted in high biogas yield. In
thermal pre-treatments, maximum cumulative gas production was measured
at 80 ºC pre-treated substrate. It exceeded by 11.7% and 6.6% over the
control and the 60 ºC pre-treated sample respectively. In case of
chemical pre-treatments, the highest cumulative biogas yield was
obtained from a substrate treated by 2.5g CaO which exceed by 139, 250
and 356 over 1.5g CaO, 0.5g CaO and control, respectively. Overall the
results indicated that the biogas yield and VS and TS reduction of the
75%PM+25%OPmix ratio can be enhanced with the use of thermal and
chemical pre-treatments prior to anaerobic digestion.

The Ecological Impacts of Light Pollution at Night-time a Mechanistic Appraisal

The Ecological Impacts of Light Pollution at Night-time a Mechanistic Appraisal Abdullahi MG, Roslan U, Kamarudin M. K. A. Artificial light at night and its negative consequences are of great interest in the fields of Ecology, Human Geography Astronomy, and Human Health. Most of the studies to date concentrated on the influences of light pollution has on our ability to view the night sky, on biodiversity, and ecosystems. Though, in recent years, with the use of new technologies sensors, which provide accurate information for determining of night lights at the area, most consideration were given for estimating artificial light at night within the urban areas. In this study, urban night lights within the cities of Nigeria was evaluated by monitoring data from the ground measurements using Sky Quality Meter (SQM-LU-DL) devices. Besides, the SQM was used at the zenith (upward direction) for maximum evaluating of artificial light at the sites. Differences in night sky bri...

Studying the tendency of citizens to participate in the protection and development of land scape in Tehran

Studying the tendency of citizens to participate in the protection and development of land scape in Tehran Shadi Maleki, Abbas Mafi, Seyedeh Mahsa Hosseini Today, as an essential part and parcel of urban landscape that they play a major role in metabolism and create a lack of serious damage to urban life. This study performed to investigate the willingness of citizens to participate in activities to protect and develop landscapeof Tehran district 4. The research was descriptive and correlation method that is used for collecting information. The statistical population consisted of district 4 of Tehran. The sample size was determined 230 by using Cochrane method. A questionnaire was used to collect data. According to the research, 63.04 percent of citizens showed participation in a high level. Among the variables investigated how citizen participation in conservation and development of landscape, effective strategies to motivate citizens to participate,the reasons for la...

Land Use Land Cover Change Detection by Using Remote Sensing Data in Akaki River Basin

Land Use Land Cover Change Detection by Using Remote Sensing Data in Akaki River Basin Adimasu Woldesenbet Worako   Land use land cover change (LULCC) is the result of the long time process of natural and anthropogenic activities that has been practiced on the land. GIS and remote sensing are the best tools that support to generate the relevant land use/cover change in the basin. This study was conducted in the Akaki River basin to detect land use land cover changes within the 30 years period (1985-2015) by using landsat imagery data acquired from the GCF. Supervised maximum likelihood algorithm classification were deployed to classify land use/cover into four prominent land use groups and data’s were processed by using ERDAS imagine 2014 and ArcGIS10.1 software. In the basin dominant LULC was agricultural land use which accounts around 56.28% and the second largest is built-up area by 31.51% and the rest, forest(11.9%) and water body(0.31%) coverage were takes t...
