Experimental Study on Potential of Biogas Fermentation with Oxalis corymbosa

Abstract:

In order to gain the biogas production potential from Oxalis corymbosa, the anaerobic batch fermentation which were divided into the control group (120ml inoculum), the experimental group (120ml inoculum and 125g Oxalis corymbosa) were performed at 30°C. The results indicated that the net biogas production of the experimental group during total fermentation time of 50 days was 3220 ml. Further, it was calculated that the biogas yield of Oxalis corymbosa was 338ml/g TS or 388ml/g VS. The result indicated that Oxalis corymbosa can be used for biogas fermentation and the fermentation production potential was good.
