Methane production from corn stalk by wet-dry two-stage anaerobic digestion process
Dry fermentation is a potential trend in biogas industry
but the slow start-up and uneven mass transfer in the fermentation system block its application. In this study
wet fermentation was adopted as the start-up phase of dry fermentation to promote two-stage anaerobic fermentation. The effect of the fermentation time of the first wet fermentation stage (3 d
5 d
10 d
15 d and 25 d) on the two-stage anaerobic fermentation was investigated. Lignocellulose degradation and SCOD (soluble chemical oxygen demand) changes in the first-stage wet fermentation were tested and the kinetics analysis for the two-stage fermentation process was fitted. The total methane yield of the whole fermentation with the wet fermentation period of 3
5
10
15 and 25d were 208.17
185.83
218.63
219.44 and 218.85 ml·(g VS)-1
respectively
which indicated that the period of wet fermentation stage above 10 d was necessary to guarantee biogas production of the dry fermentation process. Kinetics fitting analysis showed that the RC model was more suitable for the experimental study on anaerobic fermentation process
