In order to enhance a biogas production by the hydro-thermal pre-treatment of piggery manure, the effects of hydro-thermal reaction temperature at thermal hydrolysis of piggery manure on the methane potential and anaerobic biodegradability of thermal hydrolysate were analyzed. The increase of hydro-thermal reaction temperature from 170°C to 220°C caused the enhancement of hydrolysis efficiency, and most of organic matters were present in soluble forms. However, the methane potentials (B u -TCOD) of hydrolysate were decreased from 0.239 to 0.188 Nm 3 kg -1-TCOD added by increasing hydro-thermal reaction temperature from 170°C to 220°C, and also the anaerobic biodegradability (D TCOD ) decreased from 74.6% to 58.6% with increase of hydro-thermal reaction temperature. The increase of hydro-thermal reaction temperature from 170°C to 220°C resulted in the decrease of easily biodegradable organic matter content, while persistent organic matter contents increased.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
