Horse Manure and Lignocellulosic Biomass Characterization as Methane Production Substrates

This paper aimed to study the value of horse manure through anaerobic digestion. The involved characterization different components waste and evaluation their biochemical composition, physicochemical influence composition on methane potential. More specifically, two bedding mixtures were studied: first one was composed wheat straw (WS), wood chips (WC) (HM) with a volumetric 85%, 14% 1%, respectively; second mixture WS HM 99% respectively. analysis carried out each substrate separately 406 samples from May 2017 October 2019. Biochemical potential tests conducted these showed that structure influenced BMP. had highest mono-digestion production 176.1 NmL·gVS−1. (99% WS, 1% HM) 189.4 NmL·gVS−1 compared 127 by 1 (85% WC, HM). difference due dilution effect caused presence WC rich in lignin.
