Impact of Starch from Cassava Peel on Biogas Produced through the Anaerobic Digestion Process
This study investigates the impact of cassava peel starch on biogas production via anaerobic digestion. Utilizing beating pre-treatment to isolate starch, temperature, volatile solid, and sludge quantity effects were analyzed using Design of Experiments. Results indicate starch has minimal influence on biogas quality, with maximum biogas volume at 3830 cc and CH4 production at 850 cc g−1-VS, suggesting potential energy gains.

Biogas production from waste pulps of cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) via anaerobic digestion
Cassava waste pulps (CWPs) from starch industries demand attention for sustainable disposal. This study explores anaerobic digestion of CWP with pig manure, optimizing conditions for biogas production. Gas chromatography reveals significant biohydrogen concentration (18.69 ± 1.71%), offering promising, low-emission energy. CWPs show potential for valuable biogas generation, benefiting both industry and environment.
