Abstract The results of anaerobic digestion (AD) buttermilk (BM) and cheese whey (CW) with a digested sewage sludge as inoculum is described. substrate/inoculum mixtures were prepared using 10% 15% whey. essential parameters the materials described, including: total solids (TS), volatile (VS), pH, conductivity, C/N ratio (the quantitative organic carbon (C) to nitrogen (N)), alkalinity, chemical oxygen demand (COD). potential directions biodegradation waste types, used in this study, are...
The aim of the study was to determine quantitative and qualitative changes taking place in biomass components actively participating methane fermentation, i.e., carbohydrates, as a result chemical pretreatment. Analyses were conducted on agricultural waste (corn stover, also called corn straw, corncobs) materials most commonly used well poplar wood, material relatively rarely biogas production. Pretreatment with increasing efficiency fermentation carried out use acid alkaline solutions...
Methane fermentation, which is one of the key processes in biogas production, plays an important role conversion biomass to energy. During this process, changes occur chemical composition organic feedstocks, including grasses. The assessment these crucial for efficiency and productivity production. material study comprised fully mature grass blades with leaves inflorescences was collected from extensively used meadows pastures, as well cultivated set-aside areas Wielkopolskie Voivodeship,...
The purpose of the paper is designation changes in structure cellulose after methane fermentation process Miscanthus and Sorghum harvested during growing season afterwards. percentage before were studied. Investigations into conducted by SEC, FT-IR XRD methods. average for varieties was higher lower. As a result fermentation, both investigated species two growth seasons degree polymerisation plants lower most feedstock. process, polymerization increased each However, crystallinity remained...
The article describes a pilot study on wastewater treatment plant operating biogas (2.793 MW).The authors of the experiment used organic waste material, including: chicken fat with feathers (FF), molasses (M), glycerol (GL), raw sewage sludge (SS) and digested as an inoculum.The parameters were compared, e.g.changes in concentrations ammonium nitrogen (N-NH4+), alkalinities, chemical oxygen demand (COD) light metal ions.Potential biodegradation pathways for experiments also proposed.The...
The aim of the research is to identify changes which occur in lignin from miscanthus and sorghum, one main biomass components, as a result an anaerobic digestion (AD) process. percentage content structure before after fermentation process were analysed using harvested two growing periods—before vegetation. It was shown that plants at different developmental stages differ content. During plant growth, also changes—the syringyl-to-guaiacyl ratio (S/G) increases, whereas aliphatic aromatic...
Changes in chemical composition and structure of corncob lignocellulosic biomass were investigated relative to pretreatment anaerobic digestion. The involved 1% 3% sodium hydroxide, 7% sulphuric acid, as well medium high temperature extrusion (in 110 °C the range from 140 160 °C). components content was studied using a gravimetric method, whereas relations between carbohydrate lignin participation Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. It determined that treatment, both acidic alkaline,...
In the described study, relationships between percentage and structure of selected lignocellulosic components efficiency their anaerobic digestion quality produced biogas were analyzed. This research included various raw materials. The tests carried out according to DIN standard 38 414-8 (1985) VDI 4630 (2016). Multiple TAPPI standards Seifert method used determine chemical composition lignocellulose Lignin analysis was performed using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. Wide-angle...
The increase in energy demand creates a need to look for new ways of production, as fossil fuel resources are limited and nuclear is not always well perceived, thus directions production being sought for. One them agricultural biogas obtained the process methane fermentation, by-product which digested pulp (digestate), having fertilizing potential, often underestimated. purpose following study determine fertilizer value coming from Polish plant. results digestate chemical analyzes available...
One of the essential requirements in running a biogas plant is proper management by-product resulting from production biogas, i.e. post-fermentation mass.One possibilities for treatment fixed fraction its combustion.In this study, basic physicochemical properties post-fermented pulp obtained maize waste are determined terms their combustion potential.Parameters such as elemental analysis, moisture content, volatile matter ash heat and calorific value were raw material without pre--treatment,...
