Enhanced Biomethanation in Co-Digestion of Cassava Pulp and Pig Manure Using A Two-Phase Anaerobic System
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this study, the co-digestion of cassava pulp (CP) and pig manure (PM) in a two-phase continuously stirred tank reactor (CSTR) was examined to find the optimum CP-to-PM mixture ratio (w/w volatile solids; VS) and to evaluate the effect of phase separation on the efficiencies of solid destruction and methane production. The results showed that the highest VS removal (29%) and the greatest production of intermediates, such as volatile fatty acids and ethanol (24%) in the hydrolysis/acidification reactor were obtained using a 50:50 CP:PM ratio. Using feedstock that had a higher CP ratio, the activity of the hydrolytic/acidogenic bacteria was inhibited at approximately pH 4. In addition, the distribution of the VFA produced was shifted at approximately pH 4.5. The removal of solids and the production of methane increased in the two-phase CSTR with increasing cassava pulp ratio, up to 60% of the feedstock. The highest reduction in solids (68%) and the greatest methane yield (370 mL gVSadded) were obtained using a 60:40 CP:PM ratio. Co-digestion in a two-phase CSTR reduced the solids by 14% and increased the production of methane by 36% over those obtained using a single-phase CSTR.

Anaerobic co-digestion of pig manure and algae: impact of intracellular algal products recovery on co-digestion performance.
This paper investigates anaerobic co-digestion of pig manure and algae (Scenedesmus sp.) with and without extraction of intracellular algal co-products, with views towards the development of a biorefinery concept for lipid, protein and/or biogas production. Protein and/or lipids were extracted from Scenedesmus sp. using free nitrous acid pre-treatments and solvent-based Soxhlet extraction, resp...
متن کاملA new kinetic model for biogas production from co-digestion by batch mode
Coming out from the growth kinetics, the Gompertz model has been developed and considered as the best one for simulating the biogas production from anaerobic digestion. However, the model has failed to describe the starting point of the process, and no-sense of lag phase constant has been pointed out. Thus, the goal of this study is to develop a new kinetic model of biogas production with meani...

Digestion of crop silage (Zea mays L. and Miscanthus sacchariflorus) with 0%, 7.5%, 12.5% and 25% pig manure as co-substrate was performed in continuous stirred-tank reactors, for a constant hydraulic retention time of 45 d and organic load rate of 2.1 g L(-1)d(-1). A matrix of correlations between biogas/methane production and parameters of anaerobic digestion was created in order to estimate ...
متن کاملMechanisms and effects of arsanilic acid on antibiotic resistance genes and microbial communities during pig manure digestion.
High concentrations of residual arsanilic acid occur in pig manure due to its use in feed to promote growth and control diseases. This study compared the effects of arsanilic acid at three concentrations (0, 325, and 650mg/kg dry pig manure) on the abundance of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) and the microbial community during anaerobic digestion. Addition of 650mg/kg arsanilic acid enhanced...
