Abstract

Anaerobic digestion is a sustainable technology used in waste treatment and bioenergy production. It is chemically represented by the Buswell’s equation which is a significant model for counting theoretical quantity of biomethane. Although pure organic degradable substances or mixtures have been well studied by using Buswell’s equation, organochlorine compounds have not yet been explored. This article has three purposes. First, a new general Buswell’s equation for organochlorine compounds is deducted. Second, the impact of chlorine element in agricultural wastes on quantity of biomethane is studied. Third, the mathematical relationships among quantity of biomethane, theoretical biochemical methane potential, and biodegradability index are explored.
