Evaluation of methane production and energy conversion from corn stalk using furfural wastewater pretreatment for whole slurry anaerobic co-digestion
2019
Abstract In this study, corn stalk (CS) was pretreated with furfural wastewater (FWW) for whole slurry anaerobic digestion (AD), which increased the degradability of CS components, changed the parameters in pretreatment slurry and improved the biochemical methane potential (BMP). The ultimate goal was to optimize the time and temperature for FWW pretreatment and evaluate whether FWW pretreatment is feasible from BMP and energy conversion. The results of path analysis suggested that lignocellulosic degradability (LD) was the main factor affecting methane production with the comprehensive decision of 0.7006. The highest BMP (166.34 mL/g VS) was achieved by the pretreatment at 35 °C for 6 days, which was 70.36% higher than that of control check (CK) (97.64 mL/g VS) and the optimal pretreatment condition was predicted at 40.69 °C for 6.49 days by response surface methodology (RSM). The net residual value (NRV) for the pretreatment of 35 °C and 6 days was the highest (0.6201), which was the most appropriate condition for AD in real application.
