Abstract
Pretreatment plays an important role in enhanced methane production from lignocellulose material. In this study, four different types of heating processes such as hot air oven, autoclave, liquid hot water bath, and microwave oven were used for comparison. The study was carried out in a biochemical methane potential assay to evaluate the different thermal heating process for enhanced methane production. Methane yield was increased in varied proportions with reduced digestion time for different heating processes of thermal pretreatment with low heating temperature at high residence time. Hot air oven pretreatment (17.92%) showed a high yield of methane production followed by autoclave (13.44%), microwave oven (9.54%), and hot water bath (7.54%) than control samples. In addition, the effect of pretreatment on biodegradability was assessed with three different kinetic models. Modified Gompertz model presents similar experimental data with a high degree of best fit when compared with the other two models.
