Effect of ultrasonic application during KOH pretreatment and anaerobic process on digestion performance of wheat straw

Abstract: VS) production were observed from KOH pretreated digesters, when ultrasonication was applied during AD. Moreover, the biodegradation rate reached up to 76% along with highest total solid (TS) and volatile solid (VS) reductions from digesters with single KOH pretreatment and ultrasonic influence during AD. Finally, the digester effluent ranged in between the stable values, confirming the completion of the AD process. These results suggested that ultrasonic application was more effective when applied during AD due to the higher liquid to solid ratio. The reduction in energy input can be beneficial for commercial applications and to recognize the better stage for ultrasonic application for enhanced biomethane yield.
