A certain amount of waste can be created by human activity and modern production, which can then be recycled to create useful products and energy sources. Today, the amount of waste produced increases with industrial development, and as a result, the need for disposal becomes more critical. Any human production activity follows a pattern that is similar; as a result of large-scale production, at least 70–80 percent more waste is produced in comparison to the amount of raw materials used. Environmental pollution is caused by the extensive use of polymeric materials and the waste plastic that results from those uses. Due to the important activity of soil microorganisms, a small portion of the waste is utilised naturally, and a portion is purposefully. A sizable amount of waste, processed by humans into products for different uses, fills vast spaces in the form of various garbage. Due to the high concentration of dangerous contaminants in the liberated areas after garbage removal by incineration, they cannot be converted to agricultural land. The damage to the environment is clear to see. In reality, some waste types contain more than 70% of valuable materials that have potential applications across a wide range of industries [1].
The state of waste management is currently undergoing a fundamental shift. There are numerous techniques for processing various wastes to create fresh, beneficial products from them for use in various industries. The principles of biotechnological orientation are applied for these ends. Organic material is broken down into simple compounds through a biological process called anaerobic digestion. Methane, a renewable energy source that is friendly to the environment, is one of the byproducts. Effective anaerobic fermentation requires a substrate with a moisture content of at least 90%. There are four stages involved in the anaerobic digestion of organic materials: hydrolysis, acidogenesis, acetogenesis, and methanogenesis. Each stage's efficiency and speed are determined by the consortium of microorganisms that has been formed [2].
Which, to a certain extent, have syntrophic relationships with one another and occupy various ecological niches? Polysaccharides, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids are among the high molecular weight insoluble compounds that undergo hydrolysis during the first stage of anaerobic fermentation of organic materials. The anaerobic use of organic matter is typically limited by the process of hydrolysis. Amylase, lipase, cellulase, cellobiase, xylonase, and protease are just a few of the hydrolytic enzymes secreted by the microorganisms that are involved in the process. The majority of bacteria, including Bacteriocides, Clostrodia, and Bifidobacteria, are strict anaerobes. Enterobacteriaceae and streptococci are examples of facultative anaerobes [3].
At the second stage, additional molecular breakdown takes place with the assistance of bacteria that produce acids, resulting in the formation of organic acids and alcohols. Obligate acid-producing microorganisms like Bacteroides succinogenes, Clostridium lochhadii, Clostridium cellobioporus, Ruminococcus flavefaciens, Rumminococcus albus, Butyrivibrio fibrisolvens, Clostridium thermocellum, Clostridium stercorarium, and Micromonospora bispora produce volatile fatty acids. Acetogenesis: Mostly acetic acid, CO2, and H2 are produced at the third stage of anaerobic degradation from organic acids and alcohols. Acetobacterium woodii and Clostrodium aceticum are typical bacteria found in this stage. The partial pressure of hydrogen (H2) in the mixture, which builds up when acetogenesis is inhibited, greatly influences the process [4].
Methanogens that are autotrophic can use CO2/H2, CO/H2O, or HCOO/ H+. There are members of the Methanobacteriales, Methanococcales, Methanomicrobiales, and Methanopyrales orders among them. Methanogenesis takes place in mesophilic and thermophilic environments. Representatives of the genii Methanomicrobiales, Methanobacteriales, Methanosarcinales, and Methanococcales are among the bacteria that can synthesise methane in mesophilic environments. Methanobacterium thermoautotrophicum and Methanothermus fervidus are two examples of thermophilic methanogens. Biogas and digestate are the byproducts of anaerobic digestion of organic matter. While digestate is a novel organic fertiliser, biogas is a renewable energy source. Methane (55–75%), carbon dioxide (30–45%), hydrogen sulphide (1-2%), nitrogen (up to 1%), hydrogen (up to 1%), and minute amounts of oxygen and carbon monoxide make up biogas' chemical make-up. The net calorific value is 21–25 MJ/m3, or roughly 0.6 L, of energy.
One of the key elements affecting how quickly fermentation occurs is temperature. Psychrophilic fermentation occurs below 30 °C, mesophilic fermentation occurs between 30 and 40 °C, and thermophilic fermentation occurs between 50 and 60 °C. Methanogens are extremely sensitive to sudden temperature changes during the anaerobic digestion process, according to Ellacuriaga et al. The most active anaerobes are typically found in mesophilic and thermophilic temperature ranges. The thermophilic process has a number of benefits. As temperature rises, microorganisms become more metabolically active, stabilising waste to a greater extent and killing off bacterial and viral pathogens almost entirely. It also makes digestate decantation easier. Thermophilic fermentation has a number of drawbacks, including a high energy requirement and poor stability. These factors make it more difficult to commercialise.
It has been established that anaerobic fermentation is feasible at volatile fatty acid concentrations up to 2000 mg/L. The most potent inhibitors of methanogenesis in this situation are propionic and butyric acids, but acetic acid can be present in higher concentrations. The rapid oxidation of organic compounds may be the cause of the sharp rise in acidity seen during processing. Methanogenesis is found to be more efficient by more than 75% at pH levels below 5.0. The levels of ammonia, bicarbonates, and carbon dioxide are normalised. The substrates should be mixed, according to the advice of earlier authors, to maintain the mass's acidity.
A method for improving fermentation efficiency is the addition of inoculum to the fermentation mixture. The microbial community of active methanogens is introduced, reducing the time needed for adaptation and the emergence of a new microbial community. As a result, the time the mixture is retained in the reactor can be shortened. Since the species composition of the methanogen community depends on temperature, the temperature regimes of the inoculation process and anaerobic fermentation should be the same. Depending on the operating temperature of the reactors, the selected mixture was fermented for 14 days at thermophilic or mesophilic temperature conditions. To achieve this, the inoculum is taken from running biogas plants before being added to the batch reactors.

The digestate, the second byproduct of anaerobic digestion, is a nontraditional fertiliser. This possibility results from the 2.8–3.1 g/kg of nitrogen present in the digestate. The C/N ratio decreases as organically bound nitrogen is mineralized to ammonium nitrogen during the anaerobic decomposition of organic matter. The form of nitrogen that plants can most readily access is ammonium. The ideal doses of digestate application, according to a number of authors, are 150–170 kg/ha of nitrogen, 270 kg/ha of potassium, 30 kg/ha of magnesium, and 80 kg/ha of P2O5. As a measure of fertilisers, the digestate's mineral nitrogen content is used. Additionally, it is made possible by anaerobic digestion.
