Production of acetate from waste feedstocks.
| Feedstock | Inoculum | Acetate (g/l) | Reference |
|---|---|---|---|
| Food waste (96.0 g COD/L) | Yeast, acetic acid bacteria | 25.9 | [56] |
| Food waste (15.0 g COD/L) | Anaerobic sludge | 4.0 | [65] |
| Sewage sludge (1.0 g COD/L) | Anaerobic sludge | 0.3 | [66] |
| Waste activated sludge (16.2 g VS/L) | Anaerobic sludge | 2.1 | [67] |
| Waste mushroom | Acetobacter pasteurianus | 38.0 | [68] |
| Food waste (49.3 g VS/L) | Mesophilic digested sludge | 18.4 | [69] |
*COD: chemical oxygen demand; VS: volatile solids.
