| Abstract: | This study presents biogas production from fruit
wastes at ambient temperature using anaerobic batch digester (500 ml).
Co-digestion of fruit wastes were carried out with rice bran and cow dung.
Biogas production from different samples was as follows: Sample A (fruit
waste), 363; sample B (fruit waste, 75% + cow dung, 25%), 405; sample C (fruit
waste, 75% + rice bran, 25%), 315; and sample D (fruit waste, 50% + rice bran,
25% + cow dung, 25%), 381 ml. From chromatographic studies, sample B has
maximum methane content (80%) and sample C has maximum carbon-di-oxide content
(50%). Cow dung influences digestion of fruit wastes and showed highest yield
(405 mg) of biogas production. |
