Comprehensive investigation of soybean oil-derived LCFAs on anaerobic digestion of organic waste: Inhibitory effect and transformation

In China, as a popular cooking oil, a huge amount of waste soybean oil is discharged through household wastewater or food debris. In widely used anaerobic process, a mixture of long chain fatty acids (LCFAs) is readily generated from waste soybean oil, and could exert adverse impacts on anaerobic digestion. In this study, soybean oil-derived mixed LCFAs were used as targeted compounds, a series of experiments were conducted to investigate their...
