Production of Biogas from Treated Sugarcane Bagasse
Sugarcane bagasse is available in plenty in and around communities of almost all major and minor places of India. Among all the potential lignocellulosic sources of biogas production sugarcane bagasse was selected for this study related to enhancement of biogas production and minimization of retention time. It was clearly observed that biogas generation response from sugarcane bagasse treated mechanically (A) was maximum both in terms of production rate and ultimate yield of biogas. Alkaline (B) and acid (C) treatment also led to biogas production but their corrosive effect on the sample might have been the possible reason for being less effective in enhancement of biogas yield as compared to that of mechanical treatment. The maximum ultimate yield of biogas was 308.7 ml/gVS (A) followed by 272.6 ml/gVS and 240.2 ml/gVS respectively.
