Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Yuanhang Zhan's research focuses on the anaerobic digestion of agricultural waste, particularly poultry litter and wheat straw, for bioenergy production and nutrient recovery. Zhan has investigated the start-up and performance of anaerobic sequencing batch reactors (ASBRs) under various operational conditions, including organic loading rates, carbon-to-nitrogen ratios, total solids, and hydraulic retention times. Studies have explored the impact of micro-aeration and the use of biochar to enhance methane production and process stability. Additionally, Zhan's work involves nutrient recovery from the digested wastewater, specifically through struvite precipitation, and the optimization of these processes using modeling techniques like response surface methodology and artificial neural networks. Zhan has published 31 papers, accumulating 518 citations, with an h-index of 11. Zhan collaborates with researchers at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville, including Jun Zhu and Yiting Xiao.
