Abstract

In order to improve the biogas production from sweet sorghum bagasse (SSB) pretreated with alkaline hydrogen peroxide and reveal the influence of zeolite dosage and TE on the anaerobic digestion performance, as well as the synergistic effect of zeolite dosage and TE, three dosages of zeolite and trace elements (TE) were used as additives for batched biogas production from pretreated sweet sorghum bagasse slurry (PSSBS). The results showed that the maximum methane production of 274.5 mL/g volatile solid (VS) from the group of PSSBS + 5 g/L zeolite + 1 mL TE could be obtained and 58.4% higher than that of untreated sweet sorghum bagasse. Modified Gompertz model estimation demonstrated that the PSSBS + 5 g/L zeolite + 1 mL TE group caused the highest methane production rate to improve by up to 41.6% from SSB and by at least 39.9% from PSSBS. Moreover, with the zeolite and TE addition, activities of cellulase and dehydrogenase of the digestate analysis indicated a positive influence on biogas production and the high alkalinity maintained the stability of the system. This work will provide experimental reference for biogas production from sweet sorghum bagasse.
