摘要

The effect of enzymatic pretreatment of sugar beet pulp and spent hops prior to methane fermentation was determined in this study. These industrial residues were subjected to enzymatic digestion before anaerobic fermentation because of high fiber content (of 85.1%dry matter (DM) and 57.7%DM in sugar beet pulp and spent hops, respectively). Their 24 h hydrolysis with a mix of enzymatic preparations Celustar XL and Agropect pomace (3:1, v/v), with endoglucanase, xylanase and pectinase activities, was most effective. Reducing sugars concentrations in hydrolysates of sugar beet pulp and spent hops were by 88.9%and 59.4%higher compared to undigested materials. The highest yield of biogas was obtained from the enzymatic hydrolysate of sugar beet pulp (183.39 mL/d from 1 g COD at fermenter loading with organic matter of 5.43 g COD/L 脳 d). Fermentation of sugar beet pulp gave 19%less biogas. Methane fermentation of spent hops hydrolysate yielded 121.47 mL/d biogas from 1 g COD (at 6.02 g COD/L 脳 d, 13%more than from spent hops). These results provide evidence that suitable enzymatic pretreatment of lignocellulosic wastes improve biogas yield from anaerobic fermentation.
