Chicken manure was loaded into the LBR in cloth sachets without adding any bulking agents. Ammonia was separated and recovered by placing a hydrophobic gas diffusion membrane in a leachate collection chamber. Methane production in the membrane-integrated LBR was 0.272 m(3)/kgVS and 2.3 times higher than that in the control LBR. The results revealed that using membrane-integrated LBR for anaerobic digestion is a simple and cost-efficient technology for the monodigestion of chicken manure and ammonia removal.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessAmmoniaMono-DigestionMembrane SeparationEgg-Layinghen ManureBiogasAnaerobic digestion of chicken manure by a leach-bed process coupled with side-stream membrane ammonia separationArticle2584147295229242-s2.0-85042870224Q1WOS:000430403500007Q110.1016/j.biortech.2018.02.117
