Evaluation of the effect of contaminated biomasses in biomethane production - ERASMUS P LISBOA03
Detailed programme of the traineeship:
To study the effect of contaminated biomasses with heavy metals and biomass pre-treatments on biomethane production by anaerobic digestion.
- Characterization of the contaminated biomass, switchgrass, obtained from soils contaminated with heavy metals (Zn, Pb, Cd, Ni)
