Abstract

In this study, dry corn stover (DCS), excess sludge (ES) and pig manure (PM) were used as fermentation raw materials to study the pretreatment method and anaerobic digestion process in order to provide a scientific basis for the stable operation of modern biogas project. The DCS was pretreated with micro-organisms such as Bacillus and lactic acid bacteria. The composition changes and microbial diversity were studied before and after micro-storage. On this basis, the effects of two-phase and single-phase AD on biogas yield were investigated. Finally, anaerobic co-digestion was carried out to further improve the biogas yield with DCS silage, ES and PM. The results showed that the pH value of DCS silage was reduced, while the concentration of organic acids was increased. Cellulose was protected effectively without degradation. The lactic acid bacteria were the dominant bacteria in the DCS silage. The cumulative biogas yield of DCS by two-phase AD and DCS silage single-phase AD reached 292.06 and 411.46 mL/g TS, respectively. The DCS silage and ES/PM were mixed in proportion for single-phase anaerobic co-digestion, the cumulative biogas production reached 500.97 and 599.39 mL/g TS, respectively. These results provided a reference for improving the gas production and fermentation efficiency of the mixed materials.
