“…Assuming ideal gas mixtures and using the ideal gas law, the methane content in the head space can be calculated using the data from the GC measurements and without measuring the actual pressure in the bottles [22]. The amount of CH 4 produced between two subsequent sampling in the head space of each flask was calculated as described previously by Teghammar et al [23]. A gas with known composition was used as standard in each measurement occasion.…”

AbstractDifferent mixture ratios of solid cattle slaughterhouse wastes (SB), manure (M), various crops (VC), and municipal solid wastes (MSW) were investigated for biogas production. The objective was to explore possible significant synergistic effects obtained from the combination of these different substrates. The performance of the process was assessed in thermophilic anaerobic batch co-digestion assays, using a four factor mixture design and methane yield (Y CH4 ) and specific methane production rate (r sCH4 ) as response variables.The highest methane yield, 655 NmL CH 4 /g VS was obtained when equal parts (ww) of SB, M, VC, and MSW were combined, while the combination of SB, M, and MSW resulted in the highest specific methane production rate (43 NmL CH 4 /g VS/d). A mixture design model was fitted to data in order to appraise synergistic and antagonistic interactions. Mixing all four substrates resulted in a 31% increase of the expected yield which was calculated from the methane potential of the individual fractions, clearly demonstrating a synergistic effect due to more balanced nutrient composition enhancing the anaerobic digestion process. However, no significant antagonistic effects were observed. In order to maximize both response variables simultaneously, a response surface method was employed to establish the optimal combination of substrate mixtures. The statistical results and analysis of the biological process gave a coherent picture of the results.

“…The method was shown to be a promising pretreatment for improvement of anaerobic digestion of newspaper, corn stalk, hardwoods, softwood, and paper tubes (Fox et al, 2003;Qingming et al, 2005;Mirahmadi et al, 2010;Teghammar et al, 2009). Pretreatments with NaOH can be classified into "high concentration" and "low concentration" processes (Mirahmadi et al, 2010).…”

a b s t r a c tOil palm empty fruit bunches (OPEFB), a waste lignocellulosic material, which is the main byproduct of vegetable oil production industries in Indonesia and Malaysia, was utilized as a source for biogas production. Pretreatments using NaOH as well as phosphoric acid were investigated to improve the biogas production. Clear positive effects of the pretreatments on the yield of methane were observed. The best improvement was achieved when 8% NaOH for 60 min was used for the pretreatment, which resulted in 100% improvement in the yield of methane production. In addition, treatment with phosphoric acid resulted in 40% improvement in the methane yield compared with that of the untreated material. The results showed that the carbohydrate content of OPEFB could be efficiently converted to methane under the anaerobic digestion process. 97% of the theoretical value of methane production was achieved after the pretreatment with NaOH for 60 min. Moreover, the initial rate of methane production was also increased by more than 85% after the treatment with NaOH compared with that of the untreated OPEFB.

Methane production via anaerobic digestion is a steadily growing industry in Europe and all over the world. Biomethane reduces the demand for fossil fuels, since it can be used for the production of power and heat or converted to vehicle fuel. Anaerobic digestion is a renewable energy technology; however, it can also be considered as a low-cost environmental-friendly waste management process, since it reduces the emission of greenhouse gases (GHGs), while it stabilizes the wastes. Currently, mainly the organic fraction of household waste, food waste, sewage sludge, manure, and energy crops is used for biogas production; nevertheless, there are a wide range of other organic substrates which can be utilized for biogas production. Among the organic matters, lignocellulosic materials have a great potential. Great abundance worldwide and carbohydrate-rich contents make them an attractive feedstock for biofuel production. Currently, anaerobic digestion of energy crops is widespread; however, biogas production from lignocellulosic residuals and wastes is still under investigation. This chapter focuses on anaerobic digestion of lignocellulosic materials. It explains the anaerobic digestion process and the current technologies used for crops digestion. It also summarizes the biogas potential of different lignocellulosic materials and the latest research on pretreatments to improve the methane yield. Finally, this chapter compares anaerobic digestion of lignocellulosic materials with energy production from these kinds of materials through thermochemical processes.
