Abstract :
Eupatorium adenophorum Spreng can potentially be utilized in several bioenergy pathways. When pretreated with microbial inoculum, it can be used as biogas fermentation material, which could increase the biogas production velocity. Eupatorium adenophorum Spreng is a promising potential biogas feedstock, whose rate of gas generation is 180 (m3-t_1TS) and fuel conversion efficiency is 12.37% at 30°C. When co-fermentated for hydrogen and methane production, it can increase the material degradation velocity and energy utilization efficiency, and decrease the fermentation reaction period.
