S.S.MARWAHA, P.S. PANESAR AND B. SINGH

Abstract

The anaerobic digestion of black liquor of pulp and paper mill was studied in the monophasic system using IJASB reactor. The different hydraulic retention time (I-I RT) were studied. A maximum methane content of 74% and COD reduction of 69.99% was observed at a HRT of 4.5 d.
