Overview of Nanoparticles effects as well as Enhancement of Biogas from Bio methanation of Press mud

Abstract

The digestion of press mud with nanoparticles were studied. Our research clearly shows that treating press mud with magnetite nanoparticles increases biogas generation and delivers greater methane yields than regular digestion without nanoparticles. This study showcases the overview of the effects of the nano particles also the enhancement of the biogas from press mud Nanoparticles of trace metals like Co, Ni, metal and Fe3O4 were considered during this study to compare their effects on biogas and alkane series produced from the anaerobic digestion of sugarcane press mud. The most effective concentrations of nanoparticle additives were determined supported our previous studies, and were 1 mg/L Co nanoparticles, 2 mg/L Ni nanoparticles 20 mg/L Fe Nanoparticles and 20 mg/L Fe3O4 nanoparticles. These concentrations of nanoparticles additives were further investigated and compared to each different during this study and were found to significantly (p < 0.05) increase the biogas yield by 2.5, 2.8, 1.9 and 2.1 times as compared with the control, respectively. The methane yields considerably (p< 0.05) raised by 3, 3.4, 2.4 and 2.6 times the CH4 (methane) volume when compared with the other control. The outcome of this research showed that the Ni nanoparticles yielded the most biogas as well as methane percentage when compared with the other nanoparticles used.
