Unravelling anaerobic microbial granulation to enable the next generation of renewable energy and resource recovery Ghent University
The recovery of renewable energy or production of bio-chemicals from waste streams is a key aspect of the sustainable bio-economy. Large volumes of wastewater are generated by bio-refineries, which require adequate valorisation. Anaerobic microbial technologies that rely on the ability of micro-organisms to grow in spherical granules have been used for decades to treat such waste streams, yet, the main mechanisms that underline anaerobic ...
