Abstract:We measured the biogas and methane yield from two types of paper sludge and three types of organic waste (food waste, vegetable scraps, and pruning branches) by anaerobic digestion. Batch digestion was carried out under mesophilic and thermophilic conditions at volatile solid loads between 0.18 and 0.60 w/v% per reactor. The volume of methane produced from paper sludge from virgin paper pulp (PS-1) was comparable to that from vegetable scraps. However, the other type of paper sludge, from recycled paper (PS-2)… Show more
