Experiments on the gas production of brown coal degraded by exogenous methanogens

To investigate the ability of exogenous bacteria to degrade brown coal, methanogens were enriched from anaerobic sludge and domesticated using brown coal as carbon source. After domestication, the lag time of initial gas production is shortened from 12 to 6 days and the CH4 production increased by 2...
