Bioconversion of renewable H 2 and waste CO 2 using methanogenic archaea is a promising technology for obtaining high-purity CH 4 , which can serve as an alternative for natural gas. This process is known as ex situ biogas upgrading. This work highlights the pathway toward the bioconversion of renewable H 2 and CO 2 into high-purity biomethane by exploiting highly accessible agro-municipal residues: cow manure (CM) and the organic fraction of solid municipal waste (OFSMW), which used to be called “waste materials”. More specifically, an ex situ thermophilic (55 °C) biogas upgrading process was conducted by CM and OFSMW codigestion at different mass proportions: 100:0, 80:20, 70:30, 60:40, and 50:50. Maximum CH 4 concentrations of 92–97 vol % and biogas volumetric production rates of 4954–6605 NmL/L.d were obtained from a batch reactor of 3 L working volume. Feedstock characterization, pH monitoring, and the carbon-to-nitrogen ratio were critical parameters to evaluate during biogas upgrading experiments. In this work, the usefulness of agro-municipal substrates is highlighted by producing high-purity biomethane—an energetic chemical to facilitate renewable energy conversion, which supports various end-use applications. This process therefore provides a solution to renewable energy storage challenges and future sustainable and green energy supply.

“…Generally, organics increase surface charge and area and number of exchange sites in the soil, thereby reducing metal mobility by surface adsorption (32) and stable complexation (33). Carbon compounds are the main constituents of organic amendments which are involved in metal precipitation and their conversion to stable forms (34). Xiong et al investigated the effect of nano-zeolite on chemical fractions of Cd in soil and its uptake by cabbage and concluded that the plant biomass was significantly increased by Nano zeolite.…”

Removal of heavy metals from industrial effluents is one of the most important in environmental research. This research was done to investigate the adsorption effect of multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) and nano Zn-oxide on decreasing chromium (Cr) and cadmium (Cd) concentration in wheat inoculated with Piriformospora indica (P.indica) that irrigated with wastewater of plating industry. Treatments were consist of applying MWCNs (0 and 0.5 % (W/W)) and nano Zn-oxide (0 and 1.5 % (W/W)) in the soil irrigated with the wastewater of plating industry under wheat inoculated with P.indica. This research was done as a factorial experiment in the layout of completely randomized block design in three replication After 90 days, plants were harvested and plant Cd and Cr were measured using atomic absorption spectroscopy. Using MWCNs had significant effect on increasing cation exchangeable capacity of soil. Applying 0.5 % (W/W) MWCNs in the soil irrigated with waste water significantly decreased the soil Cd concentration by 11.7%, while the plant biomass was increased by 13.4%. In addition, applying 1.5 % (W/W) nano Zn-oxide significantly decreased the negative effect of heavy metal toxicity that can be related to the role of nano Zn-oxide on increasing soil sorption properties. However, the interaction effect of Zn and Cd cannot be ignored. The results of this study showed that applying MWCNs and nano Zn-oxide has a significant effect on decreasing phytoremediation efficiency in soil irrigated with wastewater of plating industries. However, the type and the amount of heavy metals in wastewater cannot be ignored.

“…From the results presented in another study, where was used compost from cattle manure in mixture with inorganic fertilizer, and inorganic fertilizer, it appears that the pH and the electrical conductivity of the soil increased significantly in the treatments with cattle manure compost [40]. The increase of the electrical conductivity of the soil can be attributed to a large amount of soluble cations in the compost and their release into the soil [34].…”

The biochar used on agricultural land, can have a wide range of physical, chemical and biological effects on soil properties. Also cattle manure is important not only as the amount of nutrients inserted into the soil, but also for improving the conditions for growth and development of the plants. The positive effects on soil properties and plant growth are usually observed when biochar is used in mixture with other types of organic fertilizers. In this study, was used sewage sludge biochar, cattle manure compost, and mixtures made from these organic wastes in different concentrations, at application rates of 5 t/ha and 30 t/ha, with the aim of to determine the effects on soil properties and barley plants. The use of biochar, compost and biochar-compost mixtures at 30 t/ha, produced a significant increase of barley plants and an improvement of the pH, electrical conductivity and soil respiration, while at 5 t/ha application rate, the effect of this two organic wastes and mixtures of these in different concentrations, on plants growth and soil was reduced.
