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 from cassava peels waste
The study investigates biogas and biofertilizer production from cassava peels waste inoculated with cow dung in Nigeria. Various pretreatment chemicals were used, and six batch anaerobic biodigesters were employed for 40 days. Stale cassava peels with NH4Cl pretreatment yielded the highest biogas production (2540 cm3/day) and methane yield (62.3%). Digester sludge demonstrated good biofertilizer qualities.
