Abstract

This study aimed at evaluating the biogas production kinetics of anaerobic digestion of yam peels (YMP). The models applied in
the study of the kinetics of biogas production were the linear, exponential, Gaussian, exponential rise to maxima, logistic, modified
logistic, modified Gompertz and, transference models. The cumulative biogas volume of 440 ml was applied for the kinetics study.
