Table 4 Summary of results from trace elements and granular activated carbon supplementation in the anaerobic digestion process

From: A review on strategies to optimize metabolic stages of anaerobic digestion of municipal solid wastes towards enhanced resources recovery

StrategyType of feedstockInfluence of the strategyRef.
TE supplementationFood wastes supplemented with Fe, Co, Mo and NiAddition of TEs stopped VFA inhibition[49]
TE supplementationFood wastes supplemented with Fe, Co, and NiAddition of TEs gradually decreased VFA inhibition and maintained process stability, and allowed higher organic loading operations[50]
TE supplementationFood wastes supplemented with Se and CoSe and Co supplementation in food wastes digestion prevented VFA accumulations, increased methane yields and resulted in stable operations[53]
Co-digestionco-digestion of FW (83%) and PW (17)The highest concentrations of TE in piggery wastewater almost doubled the methane production and prevented VFA accumulations[54]
Co-digestionFood waste (66.7%) mixed with cattle manure (33.3%)TE available in cattle manure; Mg (4.99%), Ca (2.27%), Mn (950 ppm) and Zn (250 ppm) increased total methane yield by 42%[55]
GAC supplementationSynthetic wastewater supplemented with coal-based GACGAC supplementation enhanced methane productions, biomass growth, and acclimatization of microorganisms[56]
GAC supplementationVFAs (acetate, propionate, and butyrate) supplemented with GACGAC addition enhanced VFA degradation and increased methane yields[57]
GAC supplementationOFMSW supplemented with GACGAC supplementation increased syntrophic associations between bacteria and methanogens[58]
