TECHNOLOGY FOCUS - BIOLOGY - Preferred Components: The microorganism comprises methanogenic bacteria.    TECHNOLOGY FOCUS - ORGANIC CHEMISTRY - Preferred Process: The process further comprises: contacting the oxidized product with at least one microorganism in a reactor; converting the oxidized product into a metabolic product, the metabolic product comprising a hydrocarbon gas or hydrogen gas; and collecting the product. In the process: the step of removing a portion of the peroxide from the mixture is actuated by converting a portion of the peroxide from the mixture into non-peroxide compounds; or the step of removing a portion of the peroxide from the mixture forms an oxidized product, the oxidized product consisting of a remaining amount of peroxide and an amount of organic waste, and where the remaining amount of peroxide is sufficiently low in concentration so that the microorganism forms some metabolic product. The concentration of the peroxide in the mixture is sufficiently decreased to a level so that an amount of foam formed in the reactor is decreased. The process further comprises: photolyzing at least a portion of the oxidant, thus deactivating at least 5% of the oxidant. The process further comprises: photolyzing at least a portion of the oxidant for a first period of time; photolyzing the organic materials for the first period of time, where the steps of photolyzing at least a portion of the oxidant and photolyzing the organic materials accelerates the rate at which the organic material is converted into oxidized product; photolyzing at least a portion of the oxidant for a second period of time; and photolyzing at least a portion of the organic materials, where the steps of photolyzing at least a portion of the oxidant and photolyzing at least a portion of the organic materials decelerates the rate at which organic material is converted into oxidized product. In the process, the step of removing the peroxide is actuated by decanting, filtering, chemical methods, photolysis and/or irradiation. The process further comprises: exposing the oxidant to wavelengths of electromagnetic light, where the wavelength is 189-401 nm. In the process, the step of removing a portion of the oxidant is actuated by performing at least one of the method comprising: washing the first product with a solution; washing the first product with a solution comprising oxygen; decanting the solution; filtering the solution; exposing the first product to ultraviolet light, where the wavelength of the ultraviolet light is 190-350 nm in length; photolyzing the oxidized product; photolyzing at least a portion of the oxidant; and/or irradiating the first product. The oxidized product is washed with at least one solution comprising water, distilled water, deionized-distilled water, polar substances, catalysts, oxidizing agents and/or reducing agents. In the method, the product that has been substantially freed from peroxide contains a sufficiently low concentration of the peroxide, where the oxidized product is substantially free from foam when introduced into the reactor, where the reactor is anaerobic reactors or partially-anaerobic reactors. Preferred Components: The gas is at least one of methane or hydrogen. The oxidant is peroxide. The hydrocarbon gas comprises methane. In the process: a ratio of moles of the oxidant to moles of the organic materials is at least greater than 1 mole of oxidant to 100 moles of organic material; the ratio of moles of oxidant to moles of lignocellulosic material in the organic material is greater than 1 mole of oxidant to 100 moles of lignocellulosic material. The oxidant is hydrogen peroxide, peroxide, sodium percarbonate, sodium peroxycarbonate, sodium peroxide, calcium peroxide, organic peroxides, barium peroxide, superoxides, oxygen, or any compound capable of producing a peroxide in water.
