Anaerobic digestion of pre-treated fruits and vegetables wastes : workability of alkaline pre-treatment on fruits and vegetables wastes for anaerobic digestion

Anaerobic digestion has been widely applied in wastewater sludge to stabilize sewage sludge before disposal since the 1980s and this technology has recently widely gained much attention in its application to municipal solid waste for the recovery of methane gas. For the context of this research pape...
