Abstract
As one of the most abundant biomass resources, crop stalks are great potential feedstock available for anaerobic digestion (AD) to produce biogas. However, the specific physical properties and complex chemical structures of crop stalks form strong barriers to efficient AD bioconversion. To overcome these problems, many efforts have been made over the past few years. This paper reviewed recent research in the evolving field of anaerobic bioconversion of crop stalks and was focused on three critical aspects affecting AD performance: various pretreatment methods and their effects on the improvement of crop stalk biodegradability, determination of specific AD operation parameters for crop stalks, and development of AD technologies. Finally, recommendations on the future development of crop stalk AD were proposed.

Abstract
Rigorous process models provide a reliable basis for model-based monitoring and control of anaerobic digestion plants. Due to the complex model structure and non-linear system characteristics, the established Anaerobic Digestion Model No. 1 (ADM1) is rarely applied in industrial plant operation. The present investigation proposes a systematic procedure for successive model simplification and presents the description of five model variants of a mass-based ADM1. Individual model structures greatly differ in their number of implemented process phases, characteristic components and required parameters. Simplified model variants combine nutrient degradation and biogas formation based on first-order sum reactions, whereas complex model structures describe individual degradation pathways and intermediates during acido- and acetogenesis. Characteristic features of the derived model structures as well as the stoichiometric methane potentials and microbial biomass yields of the underlying degradation pathways of individual model variations are evaluated and discussed in detail.

Abstract
Three Continuously Stirred Tank Reactors (CTSRs) were operating at steady state conditions with Organic Loading Rates (OLR) of 2.09, 3.024 and 4.0 g VS L-1 d-1. Glucose was used as the sole factor for increasing the OLR, linking the increase of the OLR with the C/N ratio increase. The reactors were stressed by increasing the ammonia concentration to 5 g L-1 from 1.862 g L-1. The results showed elevating inhibition of the anaerobic process by increasing the C/N ratio just by increasing the OLR, under the high ammonia concentration. A different response of the bacterial and archaeal community under ammonia stressed conditions was also observed. Under the high ammonia concentration, hydrogen-depended methylotrophic was the dominant methanogenesis route at OLR of 2.09 g VS L-1d-1, while the hydrogenotrophic route was the dominant at the high OLR of 4 g VS L-1d-1, which coincided with high acetate and propionate concentrations.

Abstract
The main sugarcane wastes from the non-centrifugal cane sugar (NCS) agro-industry, agricultural crop residue (ACR) and sugarcane scum (SCS), were used to produce biogas in a bench-scale semi-continuous anaerobic tubular digester. A two-stage strategy was proposed to achieve the appropriate operability and stability of the digester. In the first stage, the operability of the digester was achieved with ACR mono-digestion. In the second stage, the digester feed was changed until it reached an ACR:SCS ratio (co-digestion) of 75:25, based on volatile solids, and until stability was achieved. The strategy was successful, and specific biogas production of 0.132 m3 kg-1VS with a methane content of 50.4% was achieved, confirming the technical feasibility of the process. Economic viability was established through a case study at a typical NCS mill. Therefore, anaerobic co-digestion can be consolidated as a technological alternative for the treatment of ACR + SCS and the sustainable benefit of the NCS agro-industry.

Abstract
Sludge retention time (SRT) is vital for advanced anaerobic digestion (AD) to realize energy self-sufficient. However, the criteria on reasonable SRT has not been fully understood. This study investigated the performance and kinetics response of AD under different SRT in semi-continuous AD with microwave (MW) pretreatment, according to the long-term operation and methane production during one feeding interval. Results showed that modified Gompertz model better described the kinetics than first-order model. At short SRT (15 d), pretreatment coupled with two-stage AD preserved methane production with the high attainable methane potential (B0) of 257.98 mL/g VS and hydrolysis rate constant (khyd) of 0.075 h-1. But the acceptable decrease of methane production rate seems to be unavoidable, which was possibly derived from the evolution of methanogenesis pathway. This study emphasized the importance of improved methane production rate in semi-continuous AD under short SRT rather than methane production potential obtained from batch experiment.

Synergistic effect of sugarcane scum as an accelerant co-substrate on anaerobic co-digestion with agricultural crop residues from non-centrifugal cane sugar agribusiness sector.

Abstract
Anaerobic co-digestion (AcoD) of the main residues from the non-centrifugal cane sugar (NCS) making process, agricultural crop residues (ACR) and sugarcane scum (SCS), was evaluated using biochemical methane potential tests. Substrates were pretreated: ACR through particle size reduction, and SCS with dilution. The maximum methane yield of 0.276 Nm3 CH4 kg-1 VSadded occurred at an ACR of 2 mm and at 12.5% dilution of SCS, at a ratio of 75:25 based on volatile solids, which was 30.2% and 5.9% higher compared to SCS and ACR in mono-digestion, respectively. ACR was a substrate of adequate buffer capacity for the AcoD stability, while the SCS, in addition to helping accelerate the process, also helped improve the inoculum's methanogenic and hydrolytic activity. The first-order kinetic and dual-pool two-step models were suitable to describe methane yield. AcoD of ACR with SCS is a good option for the treatment of streams in the NCS agribusiness sector.

Anaerobic Codigestion of Sugarcane Press Mud with Food Waste: Effects on Hydrolysis Stage, Methane Yield, and Synergistic Effects. INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF CHEMICAL ENGINEERING 2018.

Abstract
Sugarcane press mud (SPM) has a high potential to produce renewable energy through anaerobic digestion (AD); however, hydrolysis is the limiting stage of the process due to the presence of slowly biodegradable compounds. An alternative that can improve this deficiency is anaerobic codigestion (AcoD). In this investigation, the monodigestion of SPM and its AcoD with food waste (FW) were evaluated through the biochemical methane potential (BMP) test, and kinetic parameters were analyzed through the analysis of the kinetic models of first order and modified Gompertz. This study showed that the AcoD of SPM with FW improved the hydrolysis stage, increased methane (CH4) yield, improved the stability of the process, and presented synergistic effects. As regards the hydrolysis stage, the hydrolysis constant was increased, and the lag phase was reduced. The monodigestion of SPM (SPM : FW 100 : 0) showed an increase of 9% with the addition of external nutrients solution, while that of AcoD in the SPM : FW 80 : 20 ratio showed the highest CH4 yield, with increments of 12 and 22% in comparison with the monodigestion of SPM under WN and NN conditions, respectively. It is even possible to add up to 40% of FW (SPM : FW 60 : 40) and achieve an increase of 5% compared to the monodigestion of SPM under the NN condition. The synergistic effects obtained in this study showed that the incorporation of FW, in the substrates ratios evaluated, would improve the AD of the SPM without addition of external nutrients solution, which represents economic and environmental benefits of implementing this alternative at full scale.

Abstract
In this study, rice straw (RS) and pig manure (PM) mixtures with or without bio-pretreatment were used as the substrates and digested in a 9 L of anaerobic reactor at Organic loading rates (OLRs) of 0.4-3.1 kg COD/(m3 d). The volumetric methane production rate (VMPR), methane yield and anaerobic stability were comparatively investigated. The results showed the co-anaerobic digestion processes of RS and PM mixture after biological pretreatment were very stable at OLRs of 0.4-2.5 kg COD/(m3 d), and its optimal VMPR and methane yield could reach 0.64 L CH4/(L d) and 0.4557 L CH4/g CODremoved at OLR of 2.5 kg COD/(m3 d), which were 62.4% and 37.8% higher than those of the control under the same OLR condition. This study indicated the biological pretreatment with a cellulolytic microbial consortium own great potential in improving the methane yield and productivity of RS and PM wastes.
