“…However, water hyacinth has a high lignin content, which results in a decrease in actual gas production. EI-Shinnawi et al [34] conducted anaerobic fermentation studies on various agricultural crop wastes. Rice straw, corn stover, cotton straw, and water hyacinth were separately mixed with cow dung in different containers for fermentation.…”

“…Calculated by the addition of volatile solids per unit, the amount of gas produced from water hyacinth blended cow dung was higher than that from corn straw and cotton straw. Kivaisi et al [34] explored the production of water hyacinth in a two-phase ruminal anaerobic reactor. According to Zhou et al [35,36], the average gas production capacity of anaerobic digestion of water hyacinth is l00 L/kg of fresh water hyacinth.…”

Abstract:The unchecked growth of Eichhornia crassipes can cause significant harm, including covering of the water surface, depletion of oxygen, clogging of river channels, and promotion of the breeding of flies and mosquitoes. These effects can significantly impact farmland irrigation, water transportation, and human health. However, methods for controlling its growth are not ideal, and control using biological and chemical agents can result in secondary pollution. The utilization of E. crassipes as a resource, for example, as animal feed or organic substrates, can not only turn waste into valuable resources, but it can also solve the problem of its growth, thus bringing about economic and ecological benefits. In this paper, the growth and ecological characteristics of E. crassipes, its nutrient composition, and resource utilization approaches were reviewed. The challenges associated with the large-scale utilization of E. crassipes were also analyzed in order to provide references for the control and resource utilization of the species. Regarding challenges such as the difficulty of cultivation and the high cost of harvesting and dehydrating, it is necessary to investigate the proper water surface and coverage characteristics of E. crassipes cultivation to assure adequate biomass and protect the ecological landscape. It is also necessary to evaluate the effect of E. crassipes cultivation on the health of aquatic ecosystems and the safety of the water environment in order to prevent the significant potential ecological and environmental risks. In addition, developing portable, high-efficiency facilities to promote the effectiveness of harvesting, transportation and dehydration are needed, as well as further improvement in the techniques of utilization and assessment of the economic value.

“…Presently, a prominent way for discovering of researchers is frequently keeping an eye on the wild or rural areas where new materials are extraordinary and abundant. Especially, feedstock which derived from wetland biomass, one of the rich and diverse materials [3]. Moreover, it is always available in nature with intense vitality and can be replenished in the course of nature survival.…”

The biochemical methane potentials for common reed (Phragmites australis) and cow dung from northern Thailand, Chiang Mai city were investigated. This study aims to evaluate optimal parameters for the substrate of common reed and cow dung with different ratios (i.e. 1:1, 2:1 and 1:2) for improving the quality of methane content and biogas production. The effect of the co-substrate mixture was carried out in a batch reactor operated under room temperature and hydraulic retention time (HRT) of 45 days. The experiments were conducted in the fermenter with a working volume of 2.5 L and a total volume of 3L. The substrate was containing 15% of total solids (TS) and fermentation at initial pH 7. Biodegradation of substrate stated that chemical oxidation demand (COD) removal was 52.38%, the utilization of volatile solid was 75.46%. The results were achieved at ratio 2:1 (common reed and cow dung) reached the highest methane content and total biogas yield are 70% and 20,015 ml, respectively. Consequently, the results of this study suggested that mixing ratios of influence on the fermentation process and monitoring parameters were significant for further scale up or large-scale design of enriched methane content and biogas production.

“…With value addition such as briquetting through carbonization or semi decomposition, higher energy yielding briquettes can be obtained. [24].The preparation and characterization of solid biomass fuel made from rice straw and rice bran were studied [25]. Yumak et al [26] produced briquettes from soda weed (Salsolatragus) to be used as a rural fuel source.…”

The effect on environment by agricultural and other industrial wastes is increasing and causing a lot of problems. It is estimated that about 500 million tons of agricultural and agro-industrial residues are being generated annually in the country. Adequate means of disposing these wastes are lacking, hence, converting them to value added products such as briquettes for domestic as well as industrial fuel is desirable. This study aims to establish a mix of options for organic waste processing that can deliver better economic and environmental outcomes than the production of low quality compost or other means that have limited market potential. The present review aims at summarizing value addition options for various biomasses towards energy production and value added product generation.
