Anaerobic digestion of volatile acids by methane bacteria is represented by the equation

Anaerobic digestion of volatile acids by methane bacteria is represented by the equation: CH3COOH + NH3 →→→→ biomass + CO₂ + H₂O + CH4 (acetic acid) (methane) The composition of methane bacteria is approximated by the empirical formula CH1.400.40 No.20. For each kg of acetic acid consumed, 0.67 kg of CO2 is evolved. How does […]
