Abstract:
The presented paper focuses on undertaken experimental aspects focused on determining the main parameters of cereal degraded biomass, namely a mixture composed (in mass percent units) by 40 % degraded corn, 40 % degraded wheat and 20 % sunflower husks, which was subjected to anaerobic fermentation inside a patent pilot installation for studying the available potential of input materials in order to produce biogas. Also, in order to determine the possibilities offered by agricultural biomass, the study focuses also on comparative approach between the specified batch and other sorts of vegetal biomass: two row barley and a mixture composed by degraded corn grains and corn cobs. Finally conclusions are drawn for better understanding the influence of the anaerobe fermentation on this type of materials, influence which is better visible by presenting main of the material characteristics (carbon, nitrogen, hydrogen content by mass and calorific value) before and after the process.
