Microbiological Studies On Biogas And Organic Manure Production from Agricultural Wastes

Rural areas in Egypt usually have large supplies of material crops residues and animal wastes-theoretically suitable for conversion into a usable source of energy. So, biogas technology and organic manure production from city refuses, animal DROPpings and agricultural wastes brought into 3 sharp focus as a possible solution to improve the sanitary conditions prevailing in the developed and developing countries. The present study was carried out to evalute the biogas production from rice straw , water hyacinth, cow dung and poultry DROPpings in two experiments: Biogas production from rice straw during anaerobic fermentation as affected by the biological pretreatment with legnifying fungus phanerochaete chrysosporium: Biogas production from plant residues (rice straw and water hyacinth) as affected by mixing with animal wastes ( cow dung and poultry DROPpings).
