摘要
The investigation of the biodegradability and methane potential of bacterial pre-treated miscanthus sinensis has been carried out.One percent solution of Bacta-sile:A silage promoter was used to pre-treat miscanthus sinensis at 25℃.The anaerobic digestion experiments were carried out at 25℃ and 35℃ in batch experiments.The organic loading rates(OLR)varied between 1.25 g and 7 g in different batch reactors.The results showed that the highest methane concentration was 57% from digester 1 while the lowest methane produced was 38% from digester 3.The low methane production from digester 3 was attributed to temperature changes and poor organic loading rate.Bacterial pretreatment aided biodegradation of miscanthus at 25℃.Operating temperature of 25℃ had a great effect on digestion experiments resulting to longer required Hydraulic Retention Time(HRT).
