| Abstract: | This study presents effect of
pretreatment using anaerobic inoculum (PT-AI) and thermo-chemical pretreatment
(PT-TC) on
solubilization of limed
fleshings (LFs). Solubilization of LF in PT-AI (93.3%) was more than PT-TC.
From biochemical
methane potential (BMP)
studies, LFs with PT-AI generated 0.16 m3 of CH4 /kg CODtotal added, which was 2.7 and 1.5 times
more than LFs pretreated with NaOH and KOH respectively. |
