Abstract
ABSTRACTThe effects of lime loading on simultaneous lime treatment and dry digestion (SLTDD) of smooth cordgrass (SC) were evaluated at 35°C by batch reactors and leaching bed reactors (LBRs). Biogas yields of 1.5%, 3%, and 5% (w/w) lime loadings decreased by 7.1%, 20%, and 75.7%, respectively, compared with no-lime treatment with 198.0 mL/g total solids (TS) by batch reactors. The LBRs with liquid recycling and pH adjustment enhanced biogas production with 148.1–236.1 mL/g TS. The inhibition occurred SLTDD may be ascribed to be high pH and temperature from lime hydration at the initial stage. The activity for methanogenic bacteria was more inhibited than other anaerobic bacteria.
