Development of an integrated process for biogas production from sugarcane trash

(2022) Development of an integrated process for biogas production from sugarcane trash. PhD thesis, Queensland University of Technology.

Description

This project is the systematic study on how to utilise sugarcane trash for biogas production using an integrated process. A suitable pretreatment for sugarcane trash preparation was successfully developed and a key microbial response was identified during anaerobic digestion of the pretreated sugarcane trash. Moreover, the pretreatment and anaerobic digestion process was designed to integrate with hydrothermal carbonisation to utilise anaerobic digestion residue for further improvement of process performance. Biogas production was improved via the proposed integrated process, which has the ability to be developed further as a commercial fuel source.

Citation counts are sourced monthly from Scopus and Web of Science® citation databases.

These databases contain citations from different subsets of available publications and different time periods and thus the citation count from each is usually different. Some works are not in either database and no count is displayed. Scopus includes citations from articles published in 1996 onwards, and Web of Science® generally from 1980 onwards.
