Abstract

Anaerobic digestion of water hyacinth and maize cob heart may reduce the nuisance value and environmental pollution problem created by this organic biomass and considerable amount of biogas can be obtained. The rate of biogas can be enhanced under a short period by giving certain fungal treatments prior to anaerobic digestion. Pre-treatment of these wastes with Volveriella diplasia and Phanerochaete chrysosporium was found to increase the amount of gas production within short hydraulic retention time, through solubulization of lignocellulosic biomass in water due to which choking problem of the biogas plant could be sorted out.
