The effect of Fe2NiO4 and Fe4NiO4Zn magnetic nanoparticles on anaerobic digestion activity
Two types of magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs), i.e. Ni ferrite nanoparticles (Fe2NiO4) and Ni Zn ferrite nanoparticles (Fe4NiO4Zn) containing the trace metals Ni and Fe, were added to the anaerobic digestion of synthetic municipal wastewater at concentrations between 1 and 100 mg Ni L-1 in order to com...
