Effect of poultry litter biochar on the biomethanation of alkaline wet air-oxidized water hyacinth at high feed to inoculum (F/I) ratio

Yessica A. Castro et al.

Summary: This study demonstrated that pretreating water hyacinth with alkaline wet air oxidation (AWAO) can increase methane production rate. However, substrate inhibition occurs when the feed to inoculum ratio (F/I) is higher than 1. The optimal conditions for biomethanation of AWAO water hyacinth with high F/I were found to be at lower temperatures (80°C) and lower alkali concentrations (0.07 g Na2CO3/g). Addition of biochar reduced the lag phase observed during the biomethanation of water hyacinth pretreated at higher temperatures and low alkaline concentration.

Summary: Plastic-based food packaging causes a serious environmental problem, driving the need to develop biodegradable films, with starch as a potential substitute for petroleum-based plastic. While starch has many advantages, its low mechanical strength and water resistance can be overcome by using nanocellulose as a reinforcement in biocomposites for food packaging.
