Evaluation of hydrogen and methane production from sugarcane bagasse hemicellulose hydrolysates by two-stage anaerobic digestion process

Feedstock and inoculum characteristics and process parameters as predictors for methane yield in mesophilic solid-state anaerobic digestion

“…Anaerobic digestion (AD) is a natural process, in which organic matter is converted by microbes into gases which present energetic potential, such as methane (CH 4 ) and hydrogen (H 2 ), under oxygen-free conditions (Baêta et al 2016). AD is currently explored to produce biogas using various lignocellulosic feedstock sources, such as fruit and vegetable waste, grape pomace, rice straw, wheat straw, yard waste, tree trimming and yard trimming (Brown et al 2012, Liew et al 2012, Zhao et al 2014, Sheets et al 2015, Baêta et al 2016, El Achkar et al 2017, Pezzolla et al 2017, Edwiges et al 2018.…”

Anaerobic Process

“…Wheat straw proportion in substrate had a negative correlation with feedstock biodegradability and a positive correlation with lag phase. Baêta et al (2016) designed a two-stage batch system for anaerobic digestion of sugarcane bagasse hemicellulose hydrolysates to produce hydrogen and methane. Two-stage batch system consists of acidogenic part followed by methanogenic part.…”

“…Vine trimming shoots was found to be more sensitive to pretreatment, and its methane production improved more than corn cob under enzymatic hydrolysis and decreased more than corn cob under ultrasounds. Baêta et al (2016) used sugarcane bagasse as original substrate to produce hydrogen and methane through a two-stage anaerobic digestion process. The sugarcane bagasse was first washed by distilled water to remove residual sugars from crushing process.…”

Intensification of biogas production using various technologies: A review

“…For years, people have been increasingly aware of the need to protect the environment, reduce quantities of waste, and limit the consumption of fossil fuels. [1][2][3][4][5] The high level of carbon dioxide emission to the environment and its consequence such as global warming call for the implementation of alternative sources of energy. 3,[6][7][8] Over the recent years, the production of waste, including municipal solid waste, has increased.…”
