Large quantities of seaweed in marine environments and coastal areas can cause serious hygienic and environmental problems. Anaerobic digestion (AD) could provide a solution and could also be useful for the production of bioenergy and fertilizer. How...

Higher energy conversion efficiency in anaerobic degradation of bioplastic by response surface methodology (2021)
Journal Article
Ebrahimzade, I., Ebrahimi-Nik, M., Rohani, A., & Tedesco, S. (2021). Higher energy conversion efficiency in anaerobic degradation of bioplastic by response surface methodology. Journal of Cleaner Production, 290, Article 125840. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jclepro.2021.125840

Anaerobic degradation of bioplastics is a controversial challenge. Size reduction is a must for degradation while it requires a significant amount of energy, which lowers the overall energy efficiency of the system. On the other hand, inoculum to sub...
