Abstract
High-solid anaerobic digestion is a common practice to treat organic wastes, but its efficiency of methane production is poor. In this study, the effect of high-solid anaerobic co-digestion (HS-AcoD) of pig manure with lignite (0%–64% based on total solid) on methane production at 37 °C was investigated. The results showed that pH, alkalinity, total ammonia nitrogen, and free ammonia decreased with the increasing ratios of lignite addition during HS-AcoD. After HS-AcoD for 30 days, the highest cumulative methane yield of 175.90 mL g volatile solid was obtained for the treatment with 2% lignite addition, which was 9.26% higher compared with the control treatment without lignite addition (CK)..
