Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Yuanhang Zhan's research focuses on the anaerobic co-digestion of agricultural byproducts, specifically poultry litter and wheat straw, for bioenergy and nutrient recovery. Zhan has investigated factors influencing methane production in anaerobic sequencing batch reactors, including carbon-to-nitrogen ratio, total solids, and hydraulic retention time.

Further work has explored nutrient recovery through struvite precipitation from anaerobically digested poultry wastewater. This includes process modeling, cost analysis, and the use of organic acid pre-treatment and seeding in electrolytic reactors to enhance nutrient recovery. Zhan has also studied the microbial community dynamics during the start-up of these digestion processes.

Zhan has authored 31 publications, with an h-index of 12 and 563 total citations. Key collaborators at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville include Jun Zhu and Yiting Xiao, with whom Zhan has co-authored 12 publications.
