Effect of storage, aqueous ammonia soaking and hydrothermal pretreatments in anaerobic digestion of Sparganium erectum biomass.

Sparganium erectum is a macrophyte whose use is very recent and offers a promising feedstock for biogas production. This study evaluates its methane yield after applying low and high-energy demand pretreatments (solar drying or ensiling, and aqueous ammonia soaking or hydrothermal treatment). These treatments are relat...
