Effect of metals on anaerobic digestion of water hyacinth-cattle dung

The effect of several salts, FeCl3, NiCl2, CoCl2, CuCl2, and ZnCl2, on anaerobic digestion of water hyacinth-cattle dung was examined. Among the salts studied, FeCl3 caused a more than 60% increase in gas production with a high methane content.
