Cereal straw can be effectively converted into carboxylates by anaerobic digestion, with barley straw showing the highest conversion rate. Methanogenesis and hydrolysis reactions occur simultaneously, resulting in the production of both VFAs and biogas. Proposed process integration suggests using biogas for the thermal needs of barley biomass transformation into VFAs.
Cereal straw is one of the most abundant wastes worldwide, with 30.000 million tons produced per year. Bioconversion of this residual material into carboxylates by anaerobic digestion could potentially replace conventional production based on fossil feedstocks (oil). In this work, fundamental issues of this bioconversion have been explored, including: different kinds of straw (wheat, barley and rye), biomass size reduction, mass balances and modeling of the different steps of the digestion. Under optimum conditions, 44% of the raw material was effectively converted into VFAs (mainly acetate) when barley was used as substrate. Wheat and rye straw presented lower conversion rates due to the higher lignin content compared to barley straw. According to the modeling proposed, methanogenesis and hydrolysis presented very similar reaction rates, which resulted in a simultaneous production of VFAs and biogas. In view of these results, a process integration is proposed where biogas covers the thermal needs of the biotransformation of barley biomass into VFAs. & COPY; 2023 The Author(s).
