Abstract:
The present invention utilise the phenomena of nutrient adsorption to enhance nutrient bioavailability and enhance methanogenesis efficiency. Thus methods for avoiding or reversing such adsorption or utilising the phenomena in a way favourable to promotion of methanogenesis in a formation, for example, through desorption of bound nutrients, or adsorption competing bacteria nutrients or methanogen toxicants, etc., are provided herein.

Claim (Index 14):
The method of  claim 12  or  claim 13 , wherein the desorption of nutrients within the formation and/or the absorption of nutrients within the formation is permanent or temporary and involves use of a no adsorption affinity nutrient or a low adsorption affinity nutrient, preferably, wherein the low adsorption affinity nutrient is provided in a precursor form which is convertible and/or degradable to a more bioavailable nutrient form susceptible to absorption, more preferably wherein the low adsorption affinity nutrient, for example, urea, is provided in combination with a precursor conversion and/or degradation inhibitor, such as, a urease inhibitor; or wherein the nutrient adsorption sites within the formation are temporarily blocked for a period ranging from 1 day to 3 years, or intervals therebetween by adding one or more binding component to the formation which preferentially adsorb to nutrient adsorption sites, wherein the binding component blocks, or preferentially occupies, one or more of the nutrient adsorption sites within the formation, preferably, the binding component is optionally releasable from the nutrient adsorption sites.
