Abstract: The invention relates to a process for production of biogas from a biodegradable substrate under anaerobic conditions, comprising the steps of introducing the substrate into a reaction space, the addition of a lime-based material having a particle diameter (d97) of less than 90 ?m and/or (d50) of less than 10 ?m to the substrate, and the biodegradation of the substrate to form biogas.

Abstract: Process for the manufacture of a material on the basis of calcium- and/or magnesium carbonate having a reduced decrepitation tendency, wherein a material on the basis of calcium- and/or magnesium carbonate is treated with at least one additive selected among alkali metal compounds and/or acids and/or alkaline earth metal compounds in an amount of 0.05 to 5 wt. % based on the amount of the material on the basis of calcium- and/or magnesium carbonate. Also claimed are the material obtainable by the process and showing reduced decrepitation tendency and the use of such material in the manufacture of glass.
