STUDY ON THE ABILITY OF DELIGNIFIED DUST PARTICLES OBTAINED DURING SEPARATION OF COCONUT FIBRES, FOR BIOGAS PRODUCTION AND ITS RELATED CHEMICAL KINEMATICS.PRIYA VAbstract During the separation of fibers, the dust particles which are also called as coconut coir pith fall away from the husk. This coir pith degrades at a very slow rate. To increase the degradation rate, the coir pith is treated for the reduction in Electrical conductivity and Total dissolved solids .The delignification process is conducted on coir pith to reduce the quantity of lignin present. During the anaerobic treatment of the EC and TDS reduced coir pith, biogas generation has been noticed. This study deals with the determination of the biogas production in the delignified coir pith. There was not a great change in the biogas production in the Delignified, EC & TDS reduced coir pith. It was almost the same as that produced from the EC & TDS reduced coir pith degradation. |
