Production of biogas via anaerobic digestion from coconut copra waste and cow manure
Anaerobic digestion is a common process for the treatment of a variety of organic wastes and biogas production. Both, macro and microalgae are suitable renewable substrates for anaerobic digestion process. In this paper, the production of biogas, mainly methane from coconut copra and cow manure was...
