Generation of biogas

Biogas can be generated by the breakdown of organic waste by bacteria in the absence of oxygen. This means no oxygen is required during the breakdown process. The bacteria is an anaerobe, which means it does not need oxygen to grow abd proliferate. 

The medium of decomposition must be airtight. No oxygen should enter. Entrance of oxygen changes the breakdown process from anerobic to aerobic process, this will hinder methane production (the main constituent of biogas).....................

Physical classification of water

Hygroscopic water This is the water present in an air dry soil held tightly by soil solids at a suction pressure greater than 3.1 bar. This type of water cannot be removed by evapouration and roots of higher plants. Only microbial activities have been found to take place here.

Drying oil in water emulsion

The drying curve varies according to the type of food and the kind of drier that is used, and also the way the food material also responds to temperature, humidity, air velocity and direction of air and thickness of food. Oil-in-water emulsion dries only quickly than water -in-oil emulsion. Case hardening is common with foods that contain dissolved sugars and other solutes in high temperature. As water leaves cells of the food, solutes are retained by cell membranes and air spaces in surface layers can act by capillary action whereby water caries solutes to the surface during drying and leaves them there. In some fruits, this can cause sticky sugary exudates on the surface, which shrinks and clogs pores leading to case hardening....................................................
