Anaerobic digestion : types, processes, and environmental impact /

Anaerobic digestion is used for industrial or domestic purposes to manage waste and/or to produce fuels. Anaerobic digestion are the group of processes by which microorganisms break down biodegradable material in the absence of oxygen. In this book, the authors present current research in the study...
