Abstract
Utilization of agricultural feedstocks like Sugarcane bagasse, Mustard Husk and Rice plus tobacco Husk by Burkholderia sp. ISTR5 was evaluated under submerged culture conditions. Percent loss of feedstocks, total soluble sugar, saccharification efficiency, bacterial count and FTIR were major factors that indicated sugarcane bagasse to be the best feedstock for the production of Bio-methane as compared to other used feedstocks in the experiment. Further, biogas produced by fermentation process of sugarcane bagasse hydrolysate and fermentation was upgraded with the help of fabricated bio-mineralized product of CO2 sequestrating bacterium, Serratia sp., and biochar. The synthesis of calcite-based bio-composite materials was confirmed by FTIR, FESEM, XRD, EDX. The results indicated the usage of Bagasse was more efficient than other two feedstocks and also the usage of calcite-based bio-composite helped in the upgradation of biogas by removal of CO2 and other contaminants. The results indicated possible applications for in-situ biomethanation and clean energy.
