Abstract
Anaerobic co-digestion of organic wastes and plant biomass generates an environmentally friendly energy source. Anaerobic co-digestion of cow dung (CD), goat manure (GM), and cactus cladodes (CC) was investigated under mesophilic laboratory conditions. A 14-day-long daily biogas production potential and methane content were evaluated for the three substrates co-digested at different mix ratios. Physicochemical properties showed significant differences between the raw and digested substrates. Biogas production started after the first day of anaerobic digestion for all substrates, with the peak observed near day fourteen. The anaerobic co-digestion of 66.7% GM and 33.3% CC substrate mixture produced the highest biogas yield. The cumulative biogas production study also revealed that the same substrate combination achieved better biogas yield. The anaerobic digestion of CD, GM, and CC showed a significant increase in biogas yield followed by a reduction in volatile and total solid contents. The 100% CC, 33.3% CC + 66.7% CD, 33.3% CC + 66.7% GM, and 33.33% CC + 33.33% CD + 33.33% GM anaerobic digestions achieved biogas with methane content (%) of 56.02, 72.6, 56.65, and 67.95, respectively. The 33.33% CC + 33.33% CD + 33.33% GM anaerobic co-digestion achieved the highest methane content compared to other substrates. The CC + CD + GM and CC + GM mixtures had a C/N ratio ranging from 20 to 30, contributing to better biogas yield with more methane content than substrates deviating from such a ratio. For all substrates, the methane content of the biogas ranged from 50 to 72.6%. The study also revealed that the co-digestion of CC with GM resulted in a better cummulative biogas yield and cumulative methane content.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
