Prerequisite of electrohydrolysis pretreatment on lignocellulose terrestrial weed (Ageratum conyzoides) to enhance the methane production and continuous reactor study

Improving The Biodegradability of Rice Straw by Electrochemical Pretreatment

“…Alternatively, electrohydrolysis (EH) was reported to depolymerize lignin, where C-C bonds and C-O-C bonds are cleaved synergistically by direct anodic oxidation [32,34] and a combined effect of ohmic heating, electrophoresis and electro-osmosis [35,36]. Indeed, the cumulative methane yield of RS was improved by 31.4%-42.4% using EH pretreatment [37,38]. The electrochemical pretreatment can breakdown lignin and lignocellulose, exposing cellulose and hemicellulose for microbial utilization.…”
