Abstract

Response surface methodology with a central composite design was applied to optimize the key factors affecting methane production from the acidic effluent coming from the sugarcane juice hydrogen fermentation process. The parameters studied were substrate concentration, ratio of NaHCO 3 to substrate concentration and initial pH. The experimental results showed that substrate concentration and initial pH had significant individual ( p MY ). However, there was no interactive effect between these variables ( p > 0.05). The maximum MY of 367 mL CH 4 /g-volatile solid (VS) added was obtained at the optimum conditions of 13,823 mg-COD/L, an NaHCO 3 to substrate concentration ratio of 3.09 and an initial pH of 7.07. Under the optimum conditions, MY was enhanced 4.4-fold in comparison to raw effluent.
