Effect of the Composition and Hydrolyzability of Lignocellulosic Biomass on Methane Productivity in Co-Anaerobic Digestion of Lignocellulosic Biomass and Cow Manure
摘要
Relationship between composition, and hydrolyzability of lignocellulosic biomass and performance of anaerobic co-digestion was evaluated.
MethodsCow manure and lignocellulosic biomass (office paper, cardboard, rice straw, and sawdust) were co-digested at 37 °C, and the first-order hydrolysis rate constant (kh), maximum cumulative CH4 yield (P) and maximum CH4 production rate (Rm) were estimated. Enzymatic hydrolysis test was also performed to estimate the first-order reaction rate constant of enzymatic hydrolysis (ke).
ResultsP and Rm were 110 ± 31.2 − 314 ± 34.3 mL g VS− 1 and 6.37 ± 0.83 − 50.2 ± 9.88 mL g VS− 1 day− 1, respectively; the values of both parameters were highest for office paper, followed by cardboard, rice straw, and sawdust. ke was 0.127 − 1.16 day− 1, and was highest for paper biomass than for rice straw and sawdust. kh was 0.0855 ± 0.015 − 0.189 ± 0.030 day− 1, and was positively correlated with ke. P was negatively correlated with the lignin content of the mixed substrate and positively correlated with the glucose yield of enzymatic hydrolysis. Rm was correlated with the cellulose + hemicellulose content of the mixed substrate, and with kh and ke, suggesting that hydrolysis of lignocellulosic biomass is the rate-limiting step.
ConclusionBiomass composition and hydrolyzability are useful parameters to predict P and Rm.
