Influence of pretreatment processes onto bio-methanation of wheat straw
Lignocellulosic wastes, inexpensive and potential sources of bioenergy were explored for delignification and production of biogas. Wheat straw was subjected to chemical and biological treatment methods for removal of lignin, facilitating bio-methanation. Pretreatment produced remarkable results with an enhanced amount of methane. Bio-methanation of wheat straw after pretreatment produced biogas with an appreciable methane content (acid treatment 80%, alkaline treatment 74%, thermal treatment 77%, and fungal treatment 92%). Among all, fungal treatment responded to maximum delignification and biogas generation. The method has the potential to be converted to technology for large scale operations.
